Hey guys!

I did have my own LBT fanart page but due to room needed for other things I got rid of it. All my other art pieces are up on Christian's LBT Gallery under GALLERIES>LITTLEFOOT-1616. Both Malte, Threehorn's and others works are also here so check 'em out!

Just thought I'd share these latest pics with you guys. The first one's a Littlefoot collage I did a little while ago but didnt finish until recently. With a limited range of colours, the best I could do was give LF a brown skin tone since I couldn't match his normal tone. He's below:

Hi Littlefoot-1616!
Lovely, both of these pictures!
As for the Littlefoot picture, I'm impressed how you managed to make the different "layers" of the various Littlefoot's stand appart from each other in spite of the fact that there are identical colors overlapping. Also the color looks very much like the brown Littlefoot does sport in many scenes. Even within the movies his color is varying, due to different light etc. Your choice of color sure seems correct to me.
The Ducky and Spike picture is freehand, isn't it? I really like it too.
The only constructive criticism I can offer regards Spike. Even with Ducky blocking the sight on one or perhaps two of the plates on his back I think there would be one more visible at least.

Awesome Littlefoot1616. :D  I'm surprised you found the time to do this with all that's going on with your life.

I don't know what you're on about the color being off, since it looks fine to me.  Littlefoot did appear brown or tan at times rather than his light purplish color.  Believe it or not, I can think of any criticism for you.  Shading maybe, but that would only apply to the Spike and Ducky picture...

Cheers guys! I appreciate the compliments!  :D

In response to your suggestion Roger, you're very much true on the idea of shading but I must say that that happens to be one of my weaker areas of artwork  :( I can shade but I prefer not to as I tend to get it a little wrong! LOL :DD

Well, I guess that'll be all the pics for a little while. Thanks again people!  :D

Hey guys!

No, no! I'm still here! Maybe not on as often but that's life commitments for ya! :p

Erm...I haven't done any fanart for ages to be brutally honest. No real reason but I guess I'm not really the one in my family with the artistic talent. That crown rests firmly with my little brother (and good he be very! :D) I guess I've just focused moreso on fanfiction writing than the drawing and sketching side of things. I've got other art pieces (not all LBT) but I guess I never really thought I had the nack for visual art (well, from the illustration perspective anyway  :DD ). If I can dig out my old art pieces, I'll snap them up and post them here...that's a pretty big "IF" though...room's a bit of a tip at the moment  :oops  :lol

Hey guys!

For anyone who cares to look, I've finally taken Mumbling's advice and finally made a DeviantART page. I dug out all my out sketches and they're all uploaded to my page. Sadly, the gallery I used to have all my artwork on no longer exists so I guess this is a good move :D For those of you who haven't seen my artwork, the majority of them are pencil sketches of LBT across the movie saga. There are a few other sketches up there too that aren't LBT but I'd love for you guys to have a gander at them if you've got the free time.

Thanks everyone...links down there ---v

Nice page and congrads on getting an art page of your own to show off your art.

Thanks guys! I added you to my Watch List Sky seeing as you were kind enough to grant me the same honour. ;)

Hey guys!

It's been absloutely ages since I last did any kind of artwork (not really my strong point admittingly  :oops ) but I have had this sketch of the extended LBT gang sitting on my desk for yonks and wondered what you thought. As per usual, the original design is not mine; it's a freehand copy of a very special LBT piece I happen to own. ;) I'm still not very good at backgrounds although I have been comtemplating putting one in this coz I haven't officially signed it as a finished piece of fanart (hence why it's been sitting staring at me for a small ice age :lol)

Oh yeah, and apologies for the grainy picture. My brother nicked my d.cam so I had to use my phone which doesn't have a flash.

That's pretty neat, LF1616 :) I would personally change the colour of the nails of Spike, Cera and Littlefoot, but that's just a minor detail :)

Nice drawing, looks well done and like it may have taken you a while to do.

Pretty good art LF1616.  I'm glad you decided to include Ruby and Chomper in the gang as well.

Great work, Littlefoot! Still didn't lose your touch I see.

Ruby is especially well done. With shading she'd look even better (Petrie and Chomper are in the dark, unfortunately). Only Cera's head and Ducky's arms look odd. How long did it take you to make this? Excluding the breaks, of course.

Had you continued drawing all these years, you wouldn't be on the GOF often nowadays. You would be too busy working for an animated movie studio. :yes

Thanks peeps! Always know how to make a guy feel appreciated ;)

Thanks for the opinion Mumbling. The colour hues are a little off I appreciate 1). coz the cam on my phone is crap and 2). I was working with a rather limited range of colours (and somewhere in the back someone's whispering "a bad workman blames his tools" :lol) The nail colour is as close as I could match given the piece I copied it from (still can't translate thoughts to paper hence why none of my works are originals) and their nails do look slightly blue-grey in the piece I cloned from.

Also, the perspective of their poses may look a bit weird without a background to add dimension. As jansenov pointed out, some limbs look a little awkward but I suppose with an appropriate backdrop it might push things into focus a little better. It would also make size ratios look a little more accurate too. Petrie and Chomper's descent into darkness is probably my looming shadow as I was taking the picture. Without a flash, I couldn't light the picture properly ("workman and his tools"... :lol)

Anyway, thanks guys. I still don't possess the necessary skills for creating original pieces so I guess I won't be making anything particularly groundbreaking (not that we don't have enough wickid artists on the forum already ;) ). Appreciate the constructive criticism, always helps to keep a guy in check.

Thanks forum!  :D

As long as you enjoy drawing, that is the key thing.

I really liked that drawing LF1616! All the characters have a nice "cartoonish" appearance to them, and the lighting and shading are both really effective. Sure the hue is a bit off, but that's because of camera issues and using what utensils you had at the time. Those aside, it's still an excellent drawing.

I hope we get to see more drawings from you. You have quite a skill for drawing :D
