Thanks for puting it in the right subforum Tim.

I cannot draw many lbt characters.. Actually, I only can draw one. Ducky.This is my first attempt to use photoshop.

I might try some more art..

You should be proud of yourself.  Ducky has been deemed the HARDEST member of the gang to draw. (With both handdrawn and on the computer.) Being able to draw her with such precision shows quite a bit of talent.  No one has been able to draw Ducky perfectly without TONS of practice.  Seriously, if you can draw her, you can draw anyone.

If you ask me, you did quite well with her, though I'm sure a certian mod will be by soon and tell you if you're a little off or not. :P: (Chances are that you messed up with the nose.  That's THE hardest part of her.) (Though if you got that right, you'll be highly praised. :D) Anyways, great job, and I hope you keep it up! :^.^:

The nose.. I did that part over 4 times.. The mouth 6. The original(coloured) drawing is this:

Edit: I have only drawn ducky once before.. And only her head, because her body didn't want to work out. This time the head turned out a bit strange, while the body worked out fine. I know it is just putting 2 parts together,, but is sooo hard.

I changed this topic name as you requested.

Very nicely-done, Mumbling!  Photoshop is a tricky program to get used to; I took a class on it back in high school and I'm not not very good with it. :p

Very cool!

triple thanks, tim =) I can't work with photoshop I just do some effects sometime, I liked the way it turned green =P. Normally I only draw with a pencil.

Since your drawing came out so well do you plan on doing more?

I don't know if there really is a scale on some characters being specifically harder to draw than others, but I guess that perception may vary depending on the artist. The proportions are certainly tricky.
I like the expression of your character (a bit like she just noticed something or is a little surprised about something).
As for constructive criticism, you mentioned that the nose was particularly difficult for you. I think the lower part of Ducky's nose usually runs roughly parallel to the upper part of her mouth. Her hands (though scientifically incorrect) sport an opposable thumb as seems to be the case with Ducky's right- but not with the left hand in the picture where fingers look a bit too equal in length.
Please don't mistake this for harsh criticism or something. Please keep going, I'm looking forward to see your next pictures Iris :yes

Post by: Mumbling on May 27, 2008, 03:48:14 PM
I do, yes. Littlefoot has helped me today. I am working at ducky being angry, but this time I make it from nothing. The drawing you see here... Her position was from a movie. (although the head was done by myself) Now I am planning to do both the head and the body by myself.

@ malte.. I am not really the one who's got a big eye for detail. They say Ducky is the hardest to draw, I don't know.. I think Cera is the hardest. I had the nose almost paralel to her mouth before.. But it was really looking strange =P. Next drawing might get more details though.
Title: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Kor on May 27, 2008, 03:57:24 PM
If you wish to work on some of her face parts more you could practice drawing ducky's face doing different expressions.

I guess the ratio of the mouth to the eyes would have to be taken into account too. The distance of the mouth to the left / right eye would be similar but might vary a bit depending on the expression ;)  <_<  -_-
I think (again, this is just meant to help you and not to talk low of your drawing which I really like) the mouth is a little wry as the left corner of her mouth seems to be closer to the left eye than the right corner of her mouth to the right eye (left and right from Ducky's point of view). If now the nose was parallel to the mouth it would look like the nose was larger on one side than on the other. Faces are tricky as all the parts of it are interrelated. I don't want to know how much eraser volume I have used up on faces already :lol

The best way to get better at drawing is to keep drawing, or so I've heard.

Today at school i had to paint something for an assignment. Actually I had to prepare it two weeks ago, but I was too lazy so when I had to start I still didn't had an design. I really knew nothing I could draw.. Didn't had anything with me to draw from. I asked Fereshta 'shall I try and draw Ducky?' She said 'Yes!! Do so!' So I started.. And really, it worked out. I shall post a small pic of it made with mobile phone later. It's really awesome, although it almost looks like the first drawing I made, I still made it from nothing but my mind! =D
Title: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Mumbling on May 28, 2008, 11:39:13 AM
Here we go.. It's not really sharp because it's taken with mobile phone and my hands are always shaking so I could not hold the camera still.

(http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll44/gofmumbling/SP_A0380.jpg)

Might have better pic later! When it is finished.. I'm proud of msyelf.

Btw: We could only use one colour and mix that with white or black. I chose green so that's why everything is greenish :p
Title: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Lillefot on May 28, 2008, 11:43:24 AM
It looks nice! Good work!  :)
I wish I could draw Ducky! But I acctually fear for her, so I'll draw her later, much later!  :lol:

Yeah, Iris!  You rock!  Keep going!  That's a good one; her face looks more refined!  You're doing even better; keep it up!

On a side note, heh...  The monochromatic (one color) thing...  I like it! :D It makes it unique!  A work of art, all its own! :DD
Title: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Mumbling on May 28, 2008, 03:27:14 PM
I'm no good with the painting brush though. It's really hard for me to mix the right colours and to paint exactly inbetween the pencil lines.

My dad is extremely good at making precise paintings.. I'll show you what I mean.. I can be so jealous of him. I'm not quite the painter, I'm more the drawer.. =P

Here is some of my dad's work.. It's not LBT related, but still I want to show it here.

(http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll44/gofmumbling/100_2594.jpg)

(http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll44/gofmumbling/100_2593.jpg)

It's Awesome, really. On the last one you can see the original photo on top of it.. So proud of my dad.. Sadly enough he doesn't paint anymore, it takes too much time(he isn't finished with the first one yet, and the second one took him months.. Every evening again.. He sure had patience.)

Anyways, I'll keep on drawing, yes :)

And I learned a new word, again. monochromatic

Post by: Sky on May 29, 2008, 01:06:11 AM
Whoa. You're dad made that?
The first painting looks ridiculously realistic. o.O

You should ask him to give you some tips.
Title: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Mumbling on May 29, 2008, 01:45:00 AM
Well.. It's a style of painting.. He took lessons for it.. Working on each detail.. He was one of the better ones of his group. He doesn't want to give me tips, as I expected. The style of painting is.. well.. if you compare it to pixels.. it will take 2 hours to paint one single pixel in the correct way... then think of a whole painting..(he paints in layers, but I show the pixel thing just to let you guys know how difficult it is).

I'm practicing facial expressions.. Here is Ducky enjoying her treestar.

Post by: Kor on May 29, 2008, 08:00:54 AM
Another nice drawing.  Looks like that treestar is almost her size.  A good idea, practicing expressions.  It gives you more practice in different ways a face can look.
Title: Fanart by Mumbling

Yes.. She is kind of small :p Or its a big treestar.. :p And yes..

It could be a bit of both.  She'll likely have some of the treestar to save for later.

Wow so nice heheh, you are improving a lot there, keep working and practicing eh. Never give up, never stop, maybe sometimes you will get a lot of frustration but is part of the job :p. Again nice work, I love it.

Thank you Littlefoot. heh. Frustration, I don't want it to go that far.. When it doesnt work out I'll leave it unfinished..:p

By the way I have lost my ducky is angry drawing.. :(
Title: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: NeptuneNavigator2001 on May 31, 2008, 12:20:45 PM
...Really?  Lost it?  Don't you have like, a portfolio of some kind, that you can keep all your drawings in?  Something safe to keep them all in?

Seriously Iris; you should invest in something like that, and keep it in a safe place... ;) ...I hope you find it again; or, you could always start again! :) Nothing wrong with that, right?
Title: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Mumbling on May 31, 2008, 12:21:51 PM
I keep all my drawings at one place, really.. But this one I was drawing while showing it to littlefoot.. Somehow, I forgot to put it where it should be... I'll find it though(hopefully).

I promise to go back to LBT after this one..

I think there is some talent in my family. I found this old painting of my grandmother. She painted me, I was about 6.

Original:

Heh.. It's pretty.. So different from my dad's work.. more like mine.. still.. It's somewhere inbetween.

I love it.. And I love the original picture as well.

I'll soon finish another ducky drawing :)

By the way I found my ducky is angry drawing, yay.
Title: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Kor on May 31, 2008, 02:59:45 PM
It looks like she does enjoy her treestar, and it's good that you found your drawing.  Your grandmother's painting does show a lot of skill too.

This is Ducky being angry ^^ Think of a story if you want to.

(http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs30/i/2008/153/4/a/Angry_Ducky_by_MumbletotheSky.jpg)

In some way you don't see any colour difference, while there really is.. This is my first attempt to draw petrie, from my mind.. eh yes.. That's about it.

O yes and her teeth aren't really visable..
Title: Fanart by Mumbling

Looks like Petrie is keeping his distance, and maybe Spike ate more of her special tree stars.

Wanna see something awesome?!

It's not yet finished but im working on this:
(I used photoshop to make lines thicker, so it's not really great.. It just gives you an idea of what I'm doing:) )

(http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll44/gofmumbling/tadaa.jpg)

This was quite hard for me.. Because so far I had only drawn ducky and petrie(once).

But I am so going to be proud of it!!
Title: Fanart by Mumbling

Post by: Malte279 on June 07, 2008, 02:45:27 PM
Very beautiful work Iris :)
In which way did you try to thicken the lines through photoshop?
I have repeatedly used the stamp tool to do so. With the right setting of the light / dark balance and smoothness the results are quite satisfactory that way, even though sometimes some narrow edges and details (e.g. fingers or any parts where two lines form an acute angle) become a bit blurred and need to be corrected (if any artist therefore knows a better way to thicken the lines with photoshop I would be very grateful to know about it :yes).
Title: Fanart by Mumbling

Well.. He asked me to do so, so I will.

Edwin, a boy a met 2 years ago on holidays, who is 12 years old, almost 13. 12 days to go for his birthday haha. He drew Ducky for me, because he felt that i trusted him completely. and because he was honored by that. Edwin asked me to upload his ducky drawing.. I think he wanted me to upload it in this topic because this is the only topic he knows( I show it to him quite often)
So.. here is his ducky.. haha

(http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll44/gofmumbling/Scannen0002.jpg)

O yea.. he also drew a dragon for me.. because I asked him for that.. How sweet  :^.^:

These are great, Mumbling! I was wondering, though, if you could do a drawing of Ducky in a flight suit. Serris gave me the idea, and, well, I thought it might look cool... :D
Title: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Kor on June 07, 2008, 07:33:52 PM

Hmm. A flight suit you say. Hehe if you could give me a good picture of which flightsuite etc, I could try!
Title: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Malte279 on June 08, 2008, 05:33:35 AM
A very good drawing :yes
This is a very popular posture of Ducky.
Do you think that Edwin might want to join us, or is he not much into LBT?
Title: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Mumbling on June 08, 2008, 05:35:44 AM
Well I asked him before.. He thinks of joining, but isn't sure yet because his time on the computer is quite limited.

I think we'll see him sooner then we expect though.

He liked lbt as a kid.. hmm.. He loves dinosaurs and dragons.. well.. yea.. he's quite into lbt because of me :p

Can one really define "perfection," Iris?  What is perfection?  Perfection means nothing, at least not to me.  That's one thing that Jazz taught me miss: perfection is OUT, improvisation is IN!

I like the picture.  Instead of saying how certain characters came out bad, I'd say try a more positive approach and mind set.  Maybe something like I did this right concerning the characters, and I need to improve this and this concerning this character, instead of saying I did x character badly, came our worst, ect.

Awesome :yes
Do you too like the LBT goodbye scenes Iris? Many of them are among my favorite LBT scenes. I guess I have a fondness for sentimental scenes and they are usually accompanied by beautiful music.
Anyway, the drawing is really pretty. I like the effect you created in the pencil version by letting the background's strokes all run towards one point somewhere behind Guido's back. Nice butterfly too (though it might want to be careful not to come too close to Guido's mouth :lol).
Is it a freehand drawing or was there a similar image in the movie?
Title: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Mumbling on June 16, 2008, 03:14:48 PM
Yes I like the goodbye scenes, they are touching. Freehand actually.. I did have Guido in front of me, but just to know the basics. Yea, I tried to make it have a sort of time-effect in the pencil drawing. And same thing with the photoshop one..

The butterfly, it's gonna be my mark..  :^.^:

Nice work Iris! :)
Just as in case with any other form of art practice will before long make you like your own work too. What colors did you use? Acryl colors? It would be awesome to have another artist working with acryl colors here (and you are in a good position to work with acryl colors. They are quite cheap in Holland, at least compared to the German prices).

In case of LBT motives painting is more difficult and more complex, but a painting can be much more "rewarding" than a drawing.
Would we remember Rembrandt if he had used the pencil only instead of the brush?

Nice drawing.  Looks like he's going to push the rock on top of a sharptooth, to knock it out I'd guess.
Title: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Malte279 on August 25, 2008, 06:29:53 PM
It reminds me of the original movies final fight with the sharptooth just with the others absent and Littlefoot taking the role of Cera. I like the shading and the overall style of the picture (the grim look of the Sharptooth in particular).
As for (hopefully) constructive criticism, I think that one would still see a bit more of Littlefoot's long neck even if it is somewhat compressed by his head charge I reckon it would still be visible (just a suggestion though).

Okay that's pretty cool. :D
I like how you put the shadow on there for Littlefoot, both on the ground and on the rock.  It brings a bit more focus to him.

You have a very unique style in your drawings! :)  Hehe, if ya look at it right, it looks like the sharptooth is flying or pedalling or something! :P:  either that or sharptooth has veery long legs! :D  Actually, it works. :p

Ideally for consistancy the rock maybe ought to be casting a shadow too, but honestly, for what you're doing with this picture, it works just the way it is too!
Title: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Mumbling on August 26, 2008, 04:53:18 AM
Haha! Thanks guys :^.^:

Yes, I had noticed about littlefoot's neck. Should've payed more attention to that part.

As well as the flying sharptooth.. I already told these points to aaron, I think. Yes, I noticed them myself too. But I was a bit too lazy to change everything again. :p Probably I should focus a bit more.

Malte, the idea was 'stolen' from the original movie. I had just seen it and loved that scene so much that I decided to remake it, somehow.

mm.. I think I forgot to color the sharptooth's nails .. xD

Very good drawings on your book covers.  When I was in school way back I'd just use brown paper sacks.  Which I could doodle on or write down home work assignments, and cross out once they were done.  When it got full time to put on a new one.

I think the character may be inspired by one from the Disney movie Dinosaur. Of course that deviantart picture is not a screenshot, but there is a scene in the movie with a dinosaur with almost exactly the same posture and expression.

And today I have to enter an art file on school, didn't include any image until the last minute, which was a drawing on chomper..(got an argument with Jasmijn for that.. sigh)

Perhaps the torso of Petrie is a bit out of proportion, but in my opinion he is one of the most tricky LBT characters to draw.

It can be hard when a friend, best friend, sister(dunno) hates something that is a part of us, and when it hates almost everything you like well...

Hope I¥m not disrespecting you...

I really like the Petrie drawing, good work. :^.^:

Heh.. She's not my sister, no... I don't have any sis, just two brothers.

Best friend, friend, I'm not sure what to call her right now...

But you're right.. The only thing we ever had in common was liking thesame guy.. Which ended pretty soon :p For the rest... Well I think she just can't see through others eyes so well..

Don't worry, you won't see me offended soon... Or you must have done something very wrong :p Or... talk behind my back about me, I just don't like that. You don't disrespect me, honestly.. :)

Whoa!  No intention to offend ya, but how could someone like that even be considered a friend?  It sounds just like the comeback statement, "Who needs enemies when I have friends like you?" <_<.  You're a very pleasant person who does not deserve to be around folks who mistreat and despise ya.  In your case, I could not fathom why anyone would feel such animosity toward someone like yourself.  Feeling for the same guy?  Hmm...sounds like that gave her ammo to be meaner to ya, but I betcha internally she's jealous and insecure.  Hang in there Mumbling :^.^:.

Hey, so getting back on topic.. :D  :yes

I've talked a little bit with ya on MSN about these drawings but I know it's always nice to see a comment on the forum to sooo... B)

Random Character! :lol:  haha I still find it amazing how someone can just whip that out in between homework :p I'd be struggling for a full day to do something like that, I'll bet! :P: For being just a quick shading job, it turned out very nicely.  With more time spent on it, random dino would look very nice indeed.  After all, the talent is there!

Haha Petrie! :p  Petrie like, Ooooo! Shiny! :P:  :lol:  I love the wide eyes, the turned head...Don't know why but he looks like he's wearing a sweater or jacket or something! :p

And Chomper, I gotta say, that's cute. :)  :D
"Mommy, is it...safe to eat that green stuff on the tree..?" :p
or maybe even
"Hey look everyone!  Look at me..whooaaaa me falling! :o " :p :p
Maybe Chomper's left leg is a little fat but really, you captured his shape very nicely...and the big eyes are awesome!  :D

Thhaank yoou..

Heh.. I cant really draw characters when I have to draw them at random times when I have no idea of what they look like..

Somehow I keep on forgetting how to draw each body of the dinosaurs, I really need something in front of me. But I guess Petrie & Chomper are more or less okay. Chomper looks a bit more babyish if you ask me :p

Awesomeness!
I like the way you did Chomper's eyes leaving nothing totally white but the light reflection and using a slightly different shade of green for Ducky's closed eyelids than for the surrounding face :yes
One point of hopefully constructive criticism which I failed to mention before are a few minor details. Chomper's feet seem a little disproportionate (a little to small I think) and there is kind of a groove between Ducky's back and tail where it might look better if it was a straighter line or another of her "spine bumps". Just suggestions though. I love the picture :yes

Malte, I didnt notice his feet were too small. Of course I havent seen chomper much either (as lbt 2 and 5 are not my favs and I dont have any tv series around).. But if it is I'll need to work on that.
I had noticed Duckies back though. Tried on making it different but couldnt really get that bend out :p

Kjeldo, big eyes? Me looove big eyes, they're cute! :D

Indeed it looks better with the shading, Aaron :). Though even that is a point I will have to work on.

Thank you Kor. :)

Thing is I'd love to have some effect of the sunshine on their bodies. Like a bit of a glow, but I really have no idea how to do that. Will try to figure out later today.

Eh.. any.. Sometimes I need screenshot just to see the bodylengths and such sometimes for a pose. Most of the time I randomly pick one when I've decided what I want to draw. This time it was the other way around (I had a screenshot and wanted to draw it) but that's okay.

This small screenshot I Was talking about was taken from the tv episodes with bad quality and small screen and such :p

It's been a while over here too... Can't say I got a great LBT-related drawing done of lately. Just a dinosaur. Why? I'm kind of busy with school, and another drawing project. My body is also not feeling quite right these days. The cold outside makes me nausious and I've also got a cold. I wake up waay too early and am really tired. Guess I could post the dinosaur up though.

Great work on the head and the face in particular. You did really well about the rim of the frill :yes
As for hopefully constructive criticism I think the drawing could be improved further if you add some lines to the legs of the dinosaur (the hindleg doesn't really stand out from the body). Another minor improvement might possibly be achieved if you place the bottom of the horn (where it makes contact with the face) a bit lower rather than directly on the outlines.

Oh yes. The legs aren't quite right and I knew that. But I guess they would do for a quick drawing to show if I can or cannot draw this way  :p I agree with you on the horns though. :yes

Here's the head... Took more care of it now.

I think I have that one too Iris. It shows the bat version of Petrie looking like a flyer in retirement rather than a hatchling, doesn't it?
I will go for your really cute drawing at any time if I had to make a choice between such awfully bad official releases and such very good and cute drawings like the one above :yes

Maybe it is time for someone to draw a good image of Petrie's hatching.

Aye, same picture I was talking of. I really wonder who ever did that too Petrie:

"Ya know, I think that flyer should have thick rings below the eyes. An' also that beak ain't crooked enuf in de movies. Oh yeah, wouldn't it be cool to have some hairs on his neck and head? And really he should get bat wings rather than Pterosaurian wings, looks so much better!"

I mean gez what did that person smoke? And why wasn't he permitted to sobber out before anyone allowed him to impose that version of Petrie on the unsuspecting world?

The background does look a bit two-dimensional, but I think it’s pretty. :DD I especially like the light effect behind the mountain.

As for the characters themselves, they’re really good! :yes You did a great job of replicating their hatching poses. (Just curious; were you looking at frames from the movie when you drew these, or did you just do it from memory?)

I agree that the frills and the mouth are a little small. I have incidentally not put her second colour above her mouth either (it should have been there).

And sadly enough I forgot the spine on the back... I have put some dents in there, but nothing that can be seen on a picture. This is because I based her on one single picture I had with me from a VHS tape, on which the back was not visible.. So the back is not really interesting :p

Isn’t the purpose of an art class to develop and hone art skills? I’d say you definitely have something good to start with. :yes

P.S. Thanks for posting the new picture. :)

I love the new Spike. :DD That's a very cute sleeping pose. You even put little grooves on his eyelids to show that they're closed. :! And a notched spinal ridge, too! Even the ear holes look good.

A couple of things I did want to mention regarding his plates: first, one of them is almost two-dimensional, while most of the others are basically little globes clinging to his back; I think they'd look better if they were all little domes. Second, they're paired; Spike should have alternating plates (three/five on one side, two/three on another). I suppose when you're making such tiny models, it's difficult to get such details right. (I can't tell exactly how big they are, but judging by the size comparison to that moss in the second picture, Spike must be pretty small).

Again, great model! Can't wait to see more! :)

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with that statement.  Art is intended to allow an individual an outlet for SELF expression, not what everyone else wants them to do.  There were numerous artists (Van Gogh for example) that did not see much success in what they loved doing most, and now they are known worldwide and their work can be found in displays allover.

BTW, Van Gogh's one of my favorite famous artists :smile.

Anyhoo, my point is that its okay to express yourself in art and not conform to others.  If they laugh, just flip 'em the bird.  They're not responsible for yur happiness ;).

Okay, now that I'm off my soapbox, Spike does look very cute :smile.

Yea, two of them flattened when I tried to put his head in the right position... I agree it would look better as little domes, but as you cleverly remarked that is quite hard for such tiny models :p The plates you see are mostly smaller than 2mm.

I did not know they were paired. I guess once again I should have had looked into more example pictures, do you think you can find a picture which shows this?

Personally I am not very satisfied with the colours, however now I know which colours to pick for the next time :)

@CT My elementary school was called Vincent van Gogh :P: I like his art too. However art is not my thing, maybe something related to it, but not art directly.

Thanks! :)

Oh these are wonderful. They are made from the clay craft that you received for your birthday?

Spike is my favourite.  I love his sleeping pose, fantastic.  

Also regarding art; if you want to take it as a course I think you should.  Art is whatever you make it.  There are no right or wrongs...you improve on skills, learn new ones and interpret how you want the art work to be.  Now, not everyone is going to like your art but if it's something that you love doing, you should definetly look into it.  

Anyway, even if art isn't ''your thing''...you can possibly still take it on as an ''extra'' in College.  I don't know the procedure for colleges or universities in your country but where I'm going (university) I have to take ''extra'' course(s) to gain the credits that I'll require for passing the Hon.  This can be on any subject. So again, might be worth looking into...

Again can't wait to see more.  :)

Post by: Mumbling on May 29, 2010, 03:15:40 PM
Not sure about ruby yet, I just kind of made a chomper

I don't like it, at all, next to the colors. I had these two colors as a left over from other stuff, they were just sitting on my room and I'd play with them so now and then, only today I realised they were chomper's colors.

So anyway, here he is. Far from perfect, and I'll definitely be making a better one :D No critique needed, I know all the proportions are odd because it is so extremely tiny.

It’s very obvious in the scene in the first movie just after the gang have sighted the grove of trees from the mouth of a cave, and Ducky is urging Spike to run from the incoming herd of longnecks. I didn’t have a screenshot of that scene, so here’s a picture (http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy212/Flathead123/Untitled_Panorama1.jpg) from the production cels and drawings topic (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=6755) that similarly showcases the positioning of Spike’s plates.

Spike has more than five plates, but the number (as well as the positioning) tends to vary based on the size and detail of Spike in any given scene. Sometimes the animators even mistakenly pair the plates. Also, in the first movie at least, the rows seem to be staggered in such a way that the plates appear to be paired from certain angles (In other words, they look like this ?.  ?.  ?. rather than like this ? . ? . ? .).

Personally I am not very satisfied with the colours, however now I know which colours to pick for the next time :)
I like the colors myself. Sure, they might be a little bright for Spike, but I think they're pretty. :p I'm very fond of that particular shade of green.

Hello:
 Well, there is always a tricky thing in anything we do :DD . But I must admit your work here looks very cute.
 Maybe you can practice the legs in a separate model?, maybe you can get it to look the way you like the most and then you can use it as a pattern?
 Keep it up!

Wow, that’s nice! :! (That was my actual, softly voiced reaction when I first saw those pictures.) That’s a fantastic standing pose! Also, good job having his tail held off the ground. :yes And actually the legs aren’t half bad. Obviously the feet are a little big (Littlefoot’s toes don’t stick out that far), but it must not be easy to mold a tiny claw figure in a properly supported standing position. The main thing I would change is his mouth, which is very small and oddly shaped (Again, it’s an understandable flaw, considering the scale you’re working with). Also, he has no ears (though scientifically that’s not much of a mistake :p).

The eyes are really great! I didn’t mention this with the Cera model, but you do an amazing job putting all the details into the eyes: not just the whites and the pupils, but the irises and even the little reflections in the pupils. :wow (Considering the size of the models, I can’t imagine how tiny those must be. :o) And even though they’re a little bit uneven, I like the nostrils a lot, too. :yes

Thank you. I like the eyes myself Pangaea! The white little reflection on littlefoot's eye is about half the size as the one on Cera  :lol Take two hairs and put them next to each other, about that big.

This time I made a 'flat' Littlefoot. For your question Kor, I want to focus on other characters also, but I first want to get at least 1 Littlefoot right. Anyway, for this littlefoot I took pictures of the progress.

Whoa! :blink: Even tinier than I imagined! :wow

I love it that you’re showing us the steps in the process as you’re making one of these models. You should do this more often; it’s very interesting. :yes

The Littlefoot looks great so far! :yes That’s a really clever and well-thought-out way of putting the model together. You might want to make the smile a little wider, so that it extends all the way to the edges of the pale part of his face. Even if it’s too late to add any more red, you could maybe cut a curved slit up to the side of his cheek. Also, you might want to think about adjusting the right eyebrow (the viewer’s right) a little bit; it looks to have become a bit misshapen.
Title: Fanart by Mumbling

Now you made me feel like eating chocolate, Pokeplayer ^^ By the way I do have a color called chocolate for my clay pieces but it was a littlebit too dark, therefore I choose the color hazelnut and merged it with Tan to get his color.

Post by: Pangaea on June 07, 2010, 10:18:13 PM
This looks great! You’re right; the eyebrow is in much better shape than it looked in the other photo. :yes It doesn’t quite connect to the upper part of Littlefoot’s cheek as the other does, and there looks to be a bit of brown on the eye itself, but other than that, the model is incredibly symmetrical! And it doesn’t look overly two-dimensional, either; it’s just right! :DD It reminds me a lot of one of those promotional plastic spoons with cartoon characters’ heads on the end of the handles they used to distribute in cereal boxes. (Do they still do that? :unsure:) Your clay Littlefoot would be a great model for one of those. :yes How big is it, by the way?

I guess Littlefoot can’t argue if Petrie decides to call him “Flathead” again! :p :lol

That's really good! Like Sky said, there's an impressive amount of detail to Littlefoot and his eggshell (I like that he's got a little piece of the shell balanced on his head :lol). I imagine it must be hard to paint on a feather, what with the vane being a textured surface, and the barbs separating if they are moved too much (with the tiny size of the pictureóaround an inch squared?óon top of that).

Are you planning to paint more feather paintings? (perhaps more pictures of the gang hatching)? :)

The textured surface part is indeed hard, you have to paint along with the lines. I first painted the white layer though, so the barbs would separate less easily.

Fantastic artworks Mumbling, they are all very detailed...especially the one draw on the feather.  It is nice to see a different media used, instead of paint and paper....it always amazes me how well some people can model images through modelling materials.  ^^

I am not sure what they are fully called, but have you ever thought about using air pens?

Doi....they are called blo pens...not air pens...sorry, my mistake.  :bang

This link is from amazon.  I think there are different varieties:
Blo pens (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Character-Options-super-Activity-colour/dp/B001B4PQJO/ref=pd_sim_k_h_b_cs_7)

We used to use them in art class, fun lesson, we would make stencils of what we wanted.  I think I did a cat...and we would blow through the penand make the picture....it was fun to do...and what we needed was in the set that the school had purchased.

Title: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Malte279 on June 30, 2010, 12:54:35 PM
Very good work again Iris :yes
There are a few points of constructive criticism left which I can offer.
Petrie's back is as dark brown as the rear-side of his wings is. If you used the same clay for the rear of his wings as for his back you could kill two Pterodactyls with one stone... (never mind, that idiom is really a brutal one :x). The color would be correct and also there would be no fissures on the rear of him. As for fissures in general, have you ever tried to close them with the tip of a toothpick as I suggested? It would be another case of two Pterodactyls... fed with the same treestar ;) It would close up the fissures and also make the figure less likely to break.
Finally, his eyes look really great and you also took the care to add the white reflection on the black of his eyes. But one more detail that could be added relatively easily would be the thin rim around his eyes.
Title: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Mumbling on June 30, 2010, 02:18:30 PM
I don't happen to have a toothpick, but I'll try something. Trying to make these without references, ya know :p Thank you about the back color and the rim around the eyes, I will fix that now.

Thanks Vek! I thought so too, so I'll fix that :)

With higher wings and a more correct back & eyes:

Post by: Pangaea on June 30, 2010, 08:28:55 PM
Oh, darn. I hope I'm not too late to add my input. :unsure:

The moment I saw this, I thought, "Whoa! That looks great!" So that's good news for you. :p If you've already baked it, it's still a good clay figure, but if you haven't, I do have some suggestions if you want to make it look even better.

The main thing I would change is those two little trailing flaps on either side of Petrie's tail. He doesn't really have those (There may be scenes in which he looks like he does, but I think they're just the lowermost edges of his wing membranes). If you wanted the figure to be REALLY accurate, you could make his wings wider, extending further down his sides, behind his legs, all the way to the base of his tail. Petrie's wing membranes extend all the way down the border between his brown back color and lighter belly color; in fact, you could say that his wings ARE the border.

Another issue is that we can't really tell how Petrie's head looks from the side in these pictures, but the lower part of his beak looks to be wider and less pointed than the upper. His crest may also be a bit lopsided. Finally, you could make his neck ruff look a bit puffier by adding more clay (At the moment it appears to be flush with his neck and shoulder area).
Title: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Mumbling on July 01, 2010, 01:28:36 AM
Honestly Pangaea, all those suggestions are very good, but hardly reachable if the clay figure is basically done. (unless I'd take it apart and start all over again). However these are very useful tips for a future petrie, which I'll sure take in mind.

Quote
those two little trailing flaps on either side of Petrie's tail.

I think those are cute, but I agree with you they may be his wing edges... oh well..
Title: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Pangaea on July 01, 2010, 01:56:41 AM
Sorry. :oops I sort of figured that the wings would be difficult to change, but I didn't know the same was true for the other parts at this point.

By the way, two things I forgot to mention this in my last post: First, thanks for showing us the process again. Not only is it interesting to see, but it helps indicate which parts of the model must be molded into their final designs at which stage. For instance, next time, maybe you could put the ruff around petrie's neck once his head is connected to his body, so that it doesn't get squished down as much.

Second, I didn't know you had little wire armatures inside these figures. :! They're more structurally detailed than I thought!

EDIT: Just noticed your new award banner. Great choice! That was my favorite of the Project banners. :lol

Yup i speak french, more specificaly Quebec French (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_French). We have different accent, terms and expressions than European French, so i am probably not the best person for helping you :unsure:

I am interessed in history in general, particulary the great empires and the great emperors. I dont know much about all the dates and names, but if i see a documentary about this on television or an article on internet i'll watch/read it whenever i can. The Byzantine Empire, Russian Empire and Roman Empire are my favorites subjects. The thing that attract me in an empire ( real or fictional ), its the high level of technology used, the mentality and the age. Byzantine Empire was a 1000 years old empire at his end, French Empire was like 10 years old at his end... I dont really like those kind of ephemeral empires and emperors.

An perfect exemple of civilisation ( fictionnal ) that i love: The Ancients in Stargate. A millions years old civilisation, highest technology, and a pacifist mentality.

----------

That's good, Mumbling !

Just a little detail:

Quote
Il habite ‡ Quebec

We could say this if i was living in Quebec City ( our capital ). But i don't, so when talking about the province of Quebec, we must say: Il habite au Quebec. That's how we make the difference and avoid to be confused.

" ‡ " is used when we talk about cities: Je vais ‡ Paris, je vais ‡ Berlin, je vais ‡ Washington...  ( je vais ‡ = I go to )

" au " is used when we talk about country, region or province: Je vais au Japon, je vais au …tat-Unis, je vais au Canada...

But " au " is only used when we talk about country who have "male" name. For those one with "female" name, we say " en ": Je vais en France, je vais en Allemagne, je vais en Chine...

Phew, i am not a teacher, so it's hard to explain that with words, even more in english.




...Well, while playing to the teacher:

Quote
Tu ?™tre int?©ress?© par le empereur Napoleon Bonaparte?

Hum, if those strange sign mean; "Tu ’tre intËressÈ", then you talk like Petrie :lol:

Tu ’tre intËressÈ = You be interessed.

The correct sentence is: " Es-tu ( are you ) intËressÈ par l'Empereur NapolÈon Bonaparte ? "

 tre / Be
Je suis - I am
Tu es - You are
Il est - He is
Nous sommes - We are
Vous ’tes - You are ( plurial or for expressed politeness; "Es-tu" is like you talk with a friend or someone you know very well. " tes-vous" is if you talk to a stranger or someone that deserve respect like your teacher or your boss. )
Ils sont - They are

For the l' instead of le before Emperor, i can't explain why, i just naturaly know it :/

Post by: Mumbling on October 15, 2010, 01:27:14 AM
I kind of realized that ‡ was wrong after I posted it.. But then I was wondering if it had to be 'au' or 'en' since I know it's  'en Canada' because Canada is female, and I have no idea whether the province used the same 'en' or if it had to be 'au'... so I left it unchanged :D

So Quebec is male? okay :D

I've mentioned it to you already but I love the inclusion of the logos at the bottom. Gives it a more authentic feel to it! You also seem to like to draw Guido :p

The drawing itself is nice and simple so I don't have too much to comment one. The gang and background look nice silhouetted and Guido looks good overall. I'm not sure if his belly is too fat or too long but it looks funny to me and maybe his head feathers could have been maybe thinner and more spread apart? They look a little stuck together.

It looks good though and I hope to see you join in on more of these prompts in the future! :DD

Now that I'm back home I should make a proper comment on this. It looks like you like your night scenes! :p

I'd say that this one looks a lot better though! Instead of a silhouette the background seems to have more complicated lighting with the presence of the moon.

Both of Ducky's parents look good as well and certainly fits the prompt as well!  :)littlefoot

I'd say that the biggest thing that stands out is that Ducky's dad's neck or the mom's shoulders look a little off. Not sure how to put it, I guess the lines seem to have abrupt changes in direction?

Great job with this and I look forward to seeing more art from you in the future! :DD

Well, the idea of the picture is quite heartwarming and it is executed decently and there seems to be a pretty good atmosphere too. The background also works but especially the male swimmer's face looks a bit deformed. Both of them could have been drawn better but overall, this is a pretty good picture.

I'm just going to intrude here to give my thoughts about your work, Mumbling. Hopefully you will go easy on me for being this late. You know what they say? Better late than never and I have become a master in that regard, apparently. :rolleyes

First of all, let's go over the poster. People here have expressed their feelings about it quite plenty and I find myself agreeing with them. When you look at the poster, it really feels like a real poster made by the Universal themselves. You wouldn't happen to be working there secretly? :OhYou The only nitpick I have about the poster is Guido himself. I would've went with the eyes being open and Guido being a little more complex. But since I'm not the one who made it, I can't really complain that much, can I? Overall, very well done, Iris! You can certainly be proud of yourself. :)

Secondly, the swimmer picture. I quite like how you utilized Ducky's parents in this one and the idea is done well in my opinion. However, their faces look a bit weird, to say the least. Nothing major, just something that popped into my head when looking over this picture. The background works very well here as well, so congrats for that. This was also a very good work by you. :yes

Alright, time to go back to coloring pencils! Digital art is a no-go while my thumb is recovering. For the fanart prompt these months I decided to go with my own suggestion and draw the character Sparky as requested by McSaurus on Deviantart. It's a very simple piece, but it felt good to hold a pencil again.

If you call this a very simple piece, then I must call it a spectacular piece of work by you, Mumbling. You are really hitting your stride lately with your drawings. There's really not much constructive criticism about this one that I can spot. Quite funny, really, I initially believed this was Cera, but I quickly realized my mistake (really, it doesn't take a genius to figure that one out), but somehow I completely missed that point for a second. I don't believe you give yourself enough credit, Mumbling, as this is one magnificent drawing done with just pencils. :)

Post by: Sovereign on August 17, 2019, 03:37:44 PM
That indeed is a sweet drawing! The overall look of it works well and the background, while indeed a bit simple, manages to save the picture from looking empty in any way. As for Sparky himself, I'm not a huge fan of his creator but the threehorn himself looks really solid and the expression is quite great as well. I agree with Anagnos that you're improving with every drawing and this one in particular looks nice as a whole. Great job! :duckyhappy
Title: Re: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: ImpracticalDino on August 17, 2019, 04:36:11 PM
Ah yes, classic drawings made with manual labor of love. There's a warm, fuzzy, nice feeling you get with these drawings as opposed to digital creations in my opinion. Nostalgia, perhaps? :)

Anyway, like the others have said already, this is an excellent drawing you have of Sparky the Threehorn. No drawings are truly perfect to the literal sense, but I see nothing to criticize you on really, so good job! The background and the pink flowers scattered about greatly reflects the kindhearted and curious threehorn you drew.

You claim that this is a very simple piece. While true, simplicity is often all you need in a piece of art, and you illustrated that quite well here.

I have to agree here, sadly! I do like Sparky, but don't generally like the work of its creator.

I'm not sure where his scar came from! But the author has portrayed him as Cera's boyfriend, so probably their age instead.

Ooh another entry! Nice to see that you could join in on this one Iris!

I agree with others that have said that simpler can be a nice choice and it works here as well. Seems like you also went with the request of having Sparky smelling the flowers, nice!

Sparky himself is drawn quite well and the shading is nice too. I think a bit of shading on his horns and such would've helped out as they look a bit flat comparatively.

Nice job with this!  :)littlefoot

Personally, I think the horns would be fine whether or not they're shaded. In fact, leaving it completely white made them stand out and it showcases the best part of a threehorn's anatomy. I like that, but I do see where you're coming from though. There's shading throughout the drawing, yet we have one tiny area that wasn't shaded, which would be a bit odd. Also, I would've thought that you would criticize the toenails for the same lack of shading, but perhaps you don't mind that, just like how I don't mind the horns.

And Mumbling, I'm interested in seeing you make more hand drawn creations rather then digital/computer made ones. You are really good at them as shown by your Sparky drawing. Keep up the good work!

Post by: OwlsCantRead on August 20, 2019, 01:07:11 AM
I agree with what everyone above has said. Not only is it a good picture, there's an almost watercolor/pastel-like softness to the handdrawn coloring that would be very hard to hard to replicate digitally.

"Life is unfair"

It is wonderful to see more art from you, Mumbling, and this one is quite lovely one. This is probably the kind of development that would soon follow after a demise in Littlefoot’s remaining family. The grief is very well presented here and the overall quality is very well done. However, Grandpa Longneck’s tail is weirdly outlined compared to Grandma and Littlefoot’s. And Grandma’s neck appears to stretch somewhat, making the drawing a little clumsy in appearance. But I think those are small errors that can be dismissed in contrast of the overall quality and as I really like the idea behind this one. Very well done! :yes
Title: Re: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: OwlsCantRead on November 02, 2019, 06:21:47 AM
The dark green background is what drew me out, however. It trains the eye on it throughout it's muted color and iris effect (the center is slightly lighter than the sides), so in one glance it seals the deal and highlights the tragedy and futility of the journey to the Land of Mists. The fact that every single color is dark except the Night Flowers vastly contrasts the hope it could've brought with the despair of reality: it really captures the meaning of "life is unfair". I like it! :)
Title: Re: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Flathead770 on November 02, 2019, 02:27:58 PM
Iris here trying to make us look bad by finishing her prompt first despite thumb issues :p

It's good to see this coloured and while it is still a little rough with the line art it doesn't necessarily make it look any worse. I do agree that Grandpa longneck's tail looks a little too unnaturally straight in this drawing. The idea for the drawing is quite dark and would have been quite a dramatic turn in the sequels. Certainly very fitting for the prompt!

Awesome stuff!  :)littlefoot

This is truly a heartbreaking hypothetical scenario you have drawn here Mumbling. The dark green background transitioning to a lighter shade creates the perfect "spotlight" for these mourning longnecks. The rough sketch style you imposed for this drawing was genius and it strengthened the emphasis on the hearts that were fractured in this very moment. I agree with Anagnos that the tail of Grandpa Longneck was weirdly outlined. I will also say in my opinion that his feet were also drawn weirdly, as both of them side by side were not proportionate or matching. Other than that, this is an excellent addition to the Hurt/Fear prompt. Great job! :)
Title: Re: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Mumbling on November 03, 2019, 02:10:37 AM
Thanks guys! I see a lot of comments about the tail, but am afraid I really don't see what's wrong with it (other than that it is a bit wobbly 'cus of the sketch outline). I have based Grandpa Longneck's pose on him lying on his side in the movie, so I can't be THAT much off, right? :lol

The feet though I can totally get behind. I had such issues drawing his legs and feet. They're definitely asymmetrical, but I'm relatively happy with the outcome due to the difficulty of the pose. Then again I'd like to say that I have no intention or desire to create anatomically perfect drawings. I'd rather convey a message, instead of working my thumb to an early grave by correcting small issues like that to an eternity. I personally really like the colors and 'style' (messy sketch) I used for this particular piece, and am much more interested in exploring alternative art styles than creating a spot-on recreation :yes

Now this would have been quite an ending for the film. :p The drawing itself looks very nice but sadly, most of the points of critique have already been made. The feel of this picture is extremely depressing and that works perfectly for a scene like this and it was a great choice. My main problem is Littlefoot's face as it doesn't seem quite normal and his eye looks weird. However, the picture is really nice as a whole so good job! :)petrie

The framed picture is nice too. I feel like they'd have a picture from each of their adventures.

Speaking of the drawing, Spike, Cera, and Petrie look the best in my opinion.  I think Littlefoot might have a bit of a fat belly (something I've done in the past as well haha), though it can be hard to tell with the angle he's at.

Great job!  :)littlefoot I'll get it added to the list when I get the chance.

Aye, I often use screenshots to determine the character's poses and Cera is just... hard! But I'm happy with how she came out. Completely agree on the faces of Littlefoot and Ducky, though I have no idea on how to improve them (this is what happens when I start drawing freely, lol).

Wow, nicely done! Great work. How long did this take you?

I especially love how the photograph on the wall is an actual movie screenshot. There's just something funny about that. :p

This took me quite a while to be fair. I'd say drawing everything on paper took about 3,5 hours and digitizing it plus adding all the quirks took about 5-6 hours. Most likely the longest I've spent on a piece so far. I really like the photograph screenshot as well, haha.

I like the bold and striking colors used in this piece, it really gives it that warm Christmas card feel. :Mo Probably the beige backdrop helped with it.

I do agree with what the others say about Spike, Petrie, and Cera looking the best (their poses and expressions of glee are all great :duckyhappy), but overall it's a solid piece nevertheless. I really like the choice of gifts and the juxtaposition of the picture in the top-right.

Now this is a brilliantly made sculpture and the theme is rather interesting as a result. I'd like to imagine that this is how the Sharptooth really would have acted upon catching his meal for the day and enjoying it to the brim. The little added details in the sculpture are truly proof that this must have been one tough case to work on, but the reward is most definitely worth the effort as I've already stated that it looks absolutely fantastic. I feel like people who have unlimited amounts of patience and dedication could do this sort of a thing. Though, I did find it interesting that he doesn't appear to have any eyes.

You didn't know for a good reason! I actually haven't really sculpted anything for the past 3 or 4 years. I figured this particular idea might be easier to realize in 3D than on paper, so I went ahead with it. I started sculpting in 2010 and I think I made roughly 70 sculptures over the years, most of them really small and without a 'surrounding'. This is one of the biggest sculptures I made, since I finally realized you can put way more detail into it if I stop being so frugal :P

One more for Sharptooth month! I've decided to start a series this year (we'll see if I can see it all the way through) called:

What if Tickles were there?

I'm gonna pose Tickles with all the villains/antagonists in an iconic scene. Keeping it to pencil only to make life easier for myself.

I had some issues with Sharptooth's bad eye - just couldn't get it to look right. Almost seems like it is a pupil haha. And for some reason every time I draw a sharptooth they just come out kind of cute. Oh well  :PCera

This is a very decent work from you, Mumbling. I don't believe I've seen much fanart of the original Sharptooth, and that's a damn crime, if you ask me. Such an iconic character and moment shouldn't be undervalued as this particular moment will always be remembered by the fans as the starting point of chaos in the original film. I quite like how you made this resemble a hide-and-seek game between the Sharptooth, Littlefoot and Cera. Interesting enough, Sharptooth's furious gaze seems to be directed at Tickles instead of Littlefoot and Cera. :p However, the Sharptooth's snout looks a bit funny and overly long, while his tail just seems to disappear from the shot. These small critiques aside, it's still a fantastic piece you've created. :bestsharptooth

Yep, this looks really good.  :chompysmile The sharptooth deserves more attention and you handled that opportunity pretty well. That sight certainly is a terrifying one for Littlefoot and Cera and you've captured the terror of that moment decently. If there's one thing that slightly bothers me is that he looks a bit short even if I understand most of that is because of the perspective. Overall, good job! :DD

I really like Tickles, and the thorny forest surrounding Littlefoot and Cera! It's a stark reminder of the darkness of the first film.

I do agree that Sharptooth looks cute. He's almost like Chomper. :p

This is a very awesome piece! It be very interesting if Tickles was actually following the gang, intentional (probably at least after the fourth movie) or not. Like Cera and Littlefoot's reactions. It was as if they were plucked out from the movie. I also think "The Sharptooth" look's cute. :DD Especially since to me, it looks like he was happy to see Tickles. :lol

It's great to see another person trying to make a drawing for all the showcases! It's a fun theme that you're going for and it looks like Tickles may have helped Littlefoot and Cera by averting Sharptooth's eyes, whether intentional or not. As for him looking cute, I think part of it might be that his mouth curls up a bit so it makes him seems a little on the happy side. Most of the time angry sharpteeth have it's mouth curl down. It looks great though and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with the rest of them!  :)littlefoot

I did intend for Sharptooth to look directly at Tickles, as I thought it would make the drawing a bit more interesting. Cera and Littlefoot are supposed to be side characters in this adventure ;)

Oh yeah, that could be it with the mouth. Then again  :evilsmile looks bad-ass while also smiling, so I'm not sure :P I'll see if I can change the sketch a bit to fix the mouth.
Title: Re: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Flathead770 on January 28, 2020, 09:46:56 AM
That is true, I should also mention that  :evilsmile has angry looking eyes. Your Sharptooth drawing has the more neutral/normal eye expression, which I think helps towards the more general happy look instead of an evil happy. Who knows though, maybe Sharptooth is just a really big fan of small furry animals?  :PCera

Who's a cute, little Tickles? Yes! You are! Good boy!

Edit:

Not sure how much longer the original photo will stay up - but I have revised the drawing a bit. Even with the "mean" mouth and eyes, i still think he looks a bit on the cutesy side... But definitely an improvement. I also cleaned up the lines a bit.

When I saw the first version of the drawing, I was going to say that Sharptooth doesn't look menacing enough and that it should better match the mood of the original scene. But, upon seeing the revised version, I actually think the cute angle works a little better. :p I guess because it's already kind of a silly concept. Regardless, I do forward to seeing what adventures Tickles gets himself into next.

Post by: Mumbling on February 15, 2020, 08:10:12 AM
Tickles decided that those thorny brushes were way too dangerous, and decided to look for another place to stay. After a while he found a couple of other dinosaurs who were foraging for food. Although their taste was quite different from his own, he decided to hitch a ride with the two odd brothers. They never quite seemed to be able to agree on what they should have for dinner, but Tickles didn't care. It was much easier for him to catch insects while on the back of one of these dinosaurs than it was from the ground, and since the brothers didn't seem to care for insects, he could eat as much as his tummy desired. As long as they weren't fighting, Tickles was perfectly content here.

Tickles was everywhere! :D

Love this picture! ^^
Judging by eyes and face expressions, for some reason, Ozzy is for green leaves, and Strut is for egg though? o_0
Title: Re: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Mumbling on February 15, 2020, 08:16:31 AM
Hmm! It's quite hard to distinguish these two without colors, however note that Strut has a dark area around his eyes and Ozzy does not. That should help :D
Title: Re: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: OwlsCantRead on February 15, 2020, 10:02:38 AM
I won't lie. I thought Strut was the one holding the egg up as well. If it is Strut on the left and Ozzy on the right, it is certainly a role reversal of what we expect from them indeed!

I like the juxtaposition between eggs and greens. Left eggstealer has a very Ozzy-like calculating face if it is Strut, and right eggstealer has a whimsical expression befitting of Strut, but seemingly is Ozzy.  Regardless, you capture the dynamic between the two eggstealers well! :^^spike
Title: Re: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Anagnos on February 15, 2020, 10:34:15 AM
I figured it was pretty easy to distinguish the two brothers from each other despite the fact that they look very identical. The one on the left is undoubtedly Strut, and the way he is reaching down to snatch those treestars speaks for itself. His eager look only proves to reinforce it all as he was always quite drawn to anything else other than eggs like his brother. Now, Ozzy on the other hand, is even easier to discern, and I don't think I have to mention much besides his grand obsession with eggs, and by the looks of things this poor fellow hasn't had one in a while. He'll be sure to enjoy that one and I don't think he has to worry about the gang ruining his dinner for him yet again. That is if unless the egg happens to belong to one of their family members again :p

Curiously enough, neither of them seem to be having trouble with sharing this momentous moment together, as in the past, they haven't exactly been on the best of terms when it comes to consuming their food, in the worst case scenario being at each others throats foe eating the ''wrong'' food, although that is mostly due to Ozzy's rather dismissal behavior towards his brother. That and Tickles seems to have a very grand time riding on Strut's back without a care in the world. I think you sell yourself a bit short on your ability to make them discernible from each other, as I had no such problems and your added detail on their figures also proves to lessen the weight of that tremendously. :yes
Title: Re: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Sovereign on February 16, 2020, 04:38:03 PM
Yeah, I agree it's quite a good picture. As others have pointed out, the two look very similar and to be honest, Ozzy's expression looks more fitting for Strut. Despite that, it's good to see some art about this duo as they were quite amusing characters and the drawing itself is quite solid. And of course, Tickles is clearly the ultimate villain as he's seen with the bad guys far too often... :bestsharptooth
Title: Re: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Flathead770 on February 17, 2020, 03:57:45 PM
Seems like these two have started to get along with each other! Maybe Tickles had something to do with it? :p (Unless Ozzy was trying to stomp on the treestars but got distracted by the egg)

The characters all seem to be drawn well and the expressions look nice. A small nitpick that I might say is that when you're shading I find it looks better when the pencil strokes are all consistently in one direction. I see that there's a couple angles done to shade Strut's back. Otherwise great job! :smile
Title: Re: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: StardustSoldier on February 25, 2020, 08:10:26 AM
And so the Tickles Saga continues. I don't have any major critiques with this one. It looks great. I especially love Ozzy's excited/deranged expression there. Seems he's quite happy indeed to finally have his long-awaited egg supper.

I, too don’t have any critiques to put forward on this drawing. The more you have done, the better you have gotten, and the less I have to say about it negatively and more towards a positive assessment each time. Great job! Tickles seems to be very content with his two new friends right now. Hopefully he will return to his love interest pretty soon. ;)

P.S.: Guess we're part of a select few who can tell Ozzy and Strut apart by their eyes. :OzzyAngry I instantly knew who was who.
Title: Re: Fanart by Mumbling
Post by: Mumbling on March 30, 2020, 03:04:32 AM
Thanks for the comments everyone! I can confirm that Ozzy has this expression because he is finally going to devour that egg, and therefore doesn't even notice Strut. Exactly what Gentle Sharptooth said! :)

I wanted to make something for the Dil & Ichy showcase, but my thumb has been acting up again (too much gaming in home quarantine, whoops! :P ). Rest assured I'll still make the piece when my thumb is back to normal.

Good to see you managed to get around to drawing this! I like the idea of this one. Something about having Tickles on Ichy, who is on Dil make this drawing work. Also the fact that Tickles is leading the way so to speak means that this is the first of your drawings where he is actively participating with the villains. Looks like this exposure is slowly turning him evil  :PCera

More Tickles! Finally felt good enough to get a drawing done for this latest prompt, so I decided to LBT-ify the following book. Here they are side by side

What has Tickles gotten himself into this time?  :PCera

It's good to finally see something for this prompt. I like how you changed up the bushes on the side to be tree stars! I feel like getting the roots around the stump to look good might have been a challenge.

Also interesting that Tickles is the bard here but yet he never once sang in the movie  :bestsharptooth

Nice job with this!

Ah I was waiting for this one! I actually thought that you would post yours before mine haha.

More wise words from Mr. Thicknose, though not sure if the sharptooth is still alive or is actually dead, as they are referring to the events before it got crushed by all those rocks. Maybe Mr. Thicknose dug him back up to use in his lessons.  :rhett_shocked

The new pencils seem to work well! I see you also did a bit of shading with it too, with the area around sharptooth's eye standing out the most. Well done!  :chompysmile

I was taking it slow as my hand has been acting up a bit again (not nearly as bad as it once was, but still, need to be careful).

I wanted the shading to be subtle but also highlight the more important things (e.g. Sharptooth's eye and mr. Thicknose's "crown") ^^

Here's one I made on a whim yesterday!

It's inspired by the different lofi girl images going around. Ducky is doing some homework while egg-sitting, and Spike is her sleeping cat. Of course she doesn't need headphones, because the gang always has music in their heads :p

@Mumbling More awesome artwork! The scene with the Useless Sharptooth cracked me up! :petrieLOL And the Ducky picture is too adorable!! You really did a wonderful job on Ducky--I've found her to be one of the more difficult members of the Gang to draw--and the background details are great! I love the flyers in formation overhead!

This is a pretty sweet drawing. The overall layout works well and I really like the background. The colors and the flyer silhouettes are really, really nice. The chars are good too though the colors in them seem pale but we went through this on Discord. Ducky's beak looks odd but it's quite minor. Nice job overall. :DD

Here's a quick one from me for the prompt Color Swap!

I used a background from the actual series as I do not have time to create a proper background myself.

Petrie and Ducky swapped colors... And places!

Still, a lovely created piece there Mumbling! Top notch!  :bestsharptooth

He does, doesn't he? I think the main difference is that ducky had a 3 part color scheme, whereas Petrie only has a two-part. Perhaps he would look better with some dark green ridges on his back. Plus the color of the beak might not work well with the color of Ducky's body.

yay a prompt submission!  :chompysmile

Petrie looks like a duck. :P I like the background and ripple effects! Amusingly, Petrie's color works okay on Ducky given that we see swimmers with that shade of brown.

Also I really gotta get back to my longfic, it literally has the same Freaky Friday flip. :ducky

Wow, Mumbling, that's really cool! :Mo How did you make it?

Thanks!

So this is based entirely on the scene where Ducky is baiting Sharptooth in the first movie. I took a couple of successive screenshots from that movie, cut out Ducky in a square in all of them, and sized those down to 28x28 pixels (the default size for an emote on Twitch). I made a layer with the rock and her hands, which is present in all frames. I then created new layers and copied Ducky's posture for each of the screenshots I took. It's obviously not a 1:1 from the movie, but definitely used it to "trace" over. 26 different frames total, and then just kind of laid them out in the way I wanted to for the animation. All done in Photoshop :)
