DarkWolf's Fanart Thread

This looks pretty great!   The colors look awesome and the overall atmosphere of the picture is very nice. Mo's expression is extremely well done and it adds to the sweet feeling of the picture. The overall layout is quite simple (perhaps there could have been another cliff in the distance or something) but that is made up with such a nice coloring and a beautiful scene. Mo isn't quite my favorite character but scenes like these go a long way in trying to make me change my opinion. Nice job, once again, with this one!

Amazing picture of Mo! The way you drew him is fantastic! Not only that, the waves shining on Mo's back makes it even more beautiful and even realistic! I just love it!

Also, about the previous picture you made Taunt and Cera, that is awesome too! The faces, the expressions and the details you put the characters are amazing! Also, the background is very well drawn too!
Sorry if I was late for the previous one, but hey, better late than never!

Every picture you make is just amazing! Looking forward to seeing your next art piece! I know it is going to be fantastic!

Very nicely done.   This depiction of him (in particular the eyes and face) really brings out the playful innocence I think, while the blue hues of the water and the emptiness on one side of the drawing imply an unseen, amorphous melancholy, which could serve as a hint of the cultural misunderstanding between him and his land-dwelling friends, or as a reminder of the vast openness of the sea.

This is a very excellent drawing. I like the way you captured Mo in his rare sweet and tender moments as he looks at the starfish. He’s still so recognizably Mo while in another drawing style. I like how the light shines through the surface and onto Mo. The starfish and the glimpse of ground are also great. I’m glad I saw this today.

(Aside: I find it interesting that two of your faves are Shorty, Littlefoot’s adopted brother and Mo, Littlefoot’s mud brother. It brought to mind the…awkwardness that might ensue if they meet. There might be some tension from Shorty and he might be a bit territorial over Littlefoot. Though Mo might head off any conflict by throwing mud on Shorty and declaring him a mud brother as well. I’m unsure of how Shorty might respond but I’m picturing him being both bemused and pleased.)

[DarkWolf91]

Aww, he is so cute here. Well done!

I like Mo too.

Heheh, thanks

Thanks! Glad to spread the Mo appreciation And thanks for the suggestion- a cliff in the background would have been a good idea!

Thanks very much for the kind comments! Hopefully I'll have a lot more time to post art this summer

Thank you, Rhombus! His face was difficult to get right, I'm glad it worked out
And true- despite its wonders, the sea is a vast and dangerous place. Perhaps this is why the waterkin have to keep such a playful outlook on things It was very weird to draw Mo alone here, as they seem like an inherently social group.

Thank you! And... I actually never thought of that before! I might have to draw Shorty and Mo interacting now

Yaaaay  

I wasn't expecting Mo of all characters, you definitely surprised me there and, as always, your work shines

It's kept rather simple but that is not an issue at all. As far as I'm concerned, I think the bg works. I mean... it's a very realistic approach to paint an underwater scene... and many areas down there are just... rather empty

Mo looks a bit sketchy but that's totally alright in my book, I'm just glad you took your time to create this wonderful painting of him! The colours look great btw

[DarkWolf91]

Thanks, Ducky! I must have missed that comment

Um... All of my art is hosted by photobucket, so I'm not sure why it's still displayed properly. (Can everyone else still see it?)

Regardless I will have to find a different site for future uploads. I am trying to post something tonight, so hopefully I'll find it soon

[Midnight]

I can still see some of your pictures, mate (particularly those on the earlier pages).

[DarkWolf91]

Ok! Well I'm using Imgur for now, might slowly switch the hosting of my older images

For now, here's my entry for the fanart prompt:



This guy is from the tenth movie, and I always catch sight of him in the crater. He's very... interesting

Here's a screenshot of him:

[Midnight]

Very nice!

Thsys fantastic the colors are breathtaking great job with this Drawing.

[Flathead770]

You gotta wonder what was happening during the development of the film. Here they are just reusing or recoloring a bunch of longnecks and one artist was like "I'm gonna make a spotted one!"

I love the picture and I look to your art for possible ways to improve myself. Like the shading and lightening around the thigh to give it the bulging appearance (I take it you're supposed to learn that in an introduction with drawing fruit or something but since I'm jumping right into things, this is the closest example that comes to mind). I'm also taking a good look at the grass and how it's colored, with the wave like nature of light and dark shades to give it the "blowing in the wind" feel, coupled with the random dark individual blades accented in (is that what you would call it? or accentuate maybe?) to show that it is indeed grass.

Great job!

[Sneak]

without any more words: bravo!

[Hypno]

I forget what species that is that was classified him as on the wiki. Let me think...

[Sovereign]

Very nice picture! As usual, the drawing is spot-on and I really like the longneck's expression! I'm not a fan of his design due to the very unlikely coloring but that's just the film.   He seems much younger in the picture which is a good thing imo but in any case, great job with the drawing as always!  

[DaveTheAnalyzer]

Nice painterly piece of fanart. From what I gleam from this forum's glossary and the LBT wiki, he is a Saltasaurus. I believe we also see his kind in movie 14 with Bron's integrated herd. The longneck is younger/chibier than the screenshot of that character you use as a example, but I don't mind and he's a very faithful depiction of how his species is designed/colored species in the movie. The shading and lighting is also great, and I like the blades of grass we can see. I like his expression, he seems to be cutely sad about something. I hope he gets to cheer up. Great job.

I know, right? He really stands out

Thanks! Good shading is definitely one of the more challenging parts of drawing. There's no real right way to learn how to do it, but looking at pictures and observing objects definitely helps to figure out how light works

But most of the time... I just kind of eyeball it

Saltasaurus, according to DaveTheAnalyzer!

Thank you! I don't mind the coloring so much- kind of reminds me of a Giraffe

Thanks very much! I kind of ran out of room so I changed his proportions a bit... should have just made the drawing area larger
Yeah, it was a little weird that there only seemed to be one of his kind at the crater. Maybe his species are mostly from too far away for convenient travel to the dream location... or maybe there were actually a few of them and they all just look exactly the same

Actually, I checked later in movie 10 when those sharpteeth came and two Saltasauruses could be seen standing at the crater ridge with Grandma Longneck as someone warns her not to go down there. There could be others in the background or on the ridge during the eclipse climax, but I don't feel like trawling through the movie at the moment to note number and kinds of background species.

Good to know! So there was at least one other Saltasaurus present

[Ducky123]

Interesting choice  

I think my idea will be based on movie 10 as well, just need to draw it and not fail... but probbaly going to fail anyway since that always happened when I tried to draw that character #totallynotaspoiler
