jassy’s Fanart

[Mumbling]

Oh my gosh Jassy! Such a lovely piece again! Wonder what we'll see from you today!

[Anagnos]

Alright, despite my best efforts to give consistent feedback, I'm afraid that I will have to refrain from posting further comments for the time being as I simply cannot deal with having to write new input on a daily basis when I'm already busy with my other assignments.

I see you decided to go with a pretty iconic scene this time. The vibrant colors here play a big role in setting up the view, though I do believe that the film used a yellowish-orange hue instead of bluish-purple that you favored here. That's not a critique at all, but rather gratitude on my part for making this drawing feel more like you instead of someone else. The characters themselves have the same gist adopted from the film, and their expressions were mostly done correctly, except for a minor detail on Littlefoot: he doesn't exactly look sad, does he? It may be the way the figure has been drawn, especially the lip area, but the longneck doesn't appear to be as mournful as he could be. As for the flyer hatchling, the sympathy and solace it tries to provide to Littlefoot is top notch.

[jassy]

Thank you so much for all the feedback everyone! And @Anagnos  no worries about the feedback, I’ll most likely be taking it down a notch anyway now that I’m getting slowly back into writing. 

But looking at the drawing closer, I realized that I actually miscalculated and accidentally placed Littlefoot’s lip line a few inches too high. Whoops I went ahead and fixed it up a bit since it was bothering me. But again, thank you guys! 

[Goldenwind]

@jassy  I've seen some of your art pieces and they are simply amazing. Espically the recreation of the sad Littlefoot scene in the orginal movie and adult Chomper!  Really like your OC drawings of Nimble as well!

[jassy]

@Goldenwind  thanks so much! Glad you like them 

Hey guys! I think I’m getting my groove back a little bit again, so here’s a piece of Sierra and Rinkus for this month’s character showcase! Sierra’s giving his pal a harsh but somewhat well intentioned pep talk  I really like these two in LBT VII, and I was always curious to know their backstories. This is one of my lazier pieces, but I think it still turned out rather nicely despite it being my first time drawing them. 

[RainbowFaceProtege]

Ooh, I love this one! You drew the characters so well, and the color scheme is just gorgeous! It's so nice to see a bit of a friendship moment between these two, certainly not something I've seen explored in fanart of them before!

[Amaranthine]

Nice Jassy! Do you have a deviantArt?

[jassy]

@RainbowFaceProtege thank you very much!!  Yeah, I always pictured these two having known each other for years and although they get on each other’s nerves, they rely a lot on each other.  They’re really fun characters to explore!

@Amaranthine thank you!  Haha no I don’t, I’ve been meaning to create one for a long time, but I’m lazy  hopefully I’ll get around to it one of these days!

[Flathead770]

Oh this is great Jassy! Nice to see another showcase themed drawing on the forum! Don't really have much to say on the critiquing side of things, other then maybe Rinkus' neck might be too thick? Good job though! 

[jassy]

@Flathead770  Thanks! Told you I was trying to get into the swing of drawing canon characters, haha  now that you mention it, I do see that his neck is a little thicker than Sierra’s. Whoops 

[Gentle Sharptooth]

Brillant as usual Jazzy! I love how vibrant the pinks are in this piece.

[OwlsCantRead]

Oh, I really like this! I think choice of dusk/gloam for a reddish-pinkish background choice is great here - it really accentuates Rinkus' color scheme. The gloss/lighting on the two flyers is also very well done, as well as the pose, it shows a bond between them even without words. Very nice!

Thank you! I was originally going for something darker and more sinister looking to fit their roles as villains, but I’m glad I went for the soft pink sunset instead.

Thanks Owls! I’ll admit, I did have some doubts about the quality of this drawing, but I feel more confident about it now. 

Decided to try something new today! I’ve never drawn Ducky before, and decided I’d give it a go. Let me just say, as much as I love her, drawing her head is a literal nightmare. 

[Flathead770]

Ah so now you know the curse that is Ducky's head! 

You did a pretty good job though! It's just something that requires a lot of practice to finally get it to look right (and even with drawing her multiple times most people say that she doesn't look right haha)

I like the light background colours along with the messy white border. Makes it look like it's from a story book.

[Gentle Sharptooth]

Brillant Ducky Jazzy! You captured her personality! Honestly she looks like an offical animator from Universal Studios made her! Congrats Jazzy! Your talent is going to take you far.

Edit: Are you going to enter this in the Fan Art prompt @jazzy?

[RainbowFaceProtege]

This looks wonderful, Jassy! Ducky's pose and facial expression are adorable, and I know how from my own experience how hard she can be to draw! Excellent job on the shading and background, too!

Haha sadly, yes, it is quite cursed.  But thanks! I definitely need to reach out of my comfort zone, and I think trying to draw Ducky and having her not look off in some way is a good way to do that.

Thank you for saying that GS!  I honestly think I have a long way to go before I can even come close to that level of skill, especially since I still have trouble with a few things, but I’m glad that you think so. And no, I have something else planned for the prompt!

Thank you very much Rainbow! Much of the drawing process was spent alternating between thinking she looked okay or deciding that she looked weird and I needed to fix a couple things. But it was fun 

It’s been a while since I drew Ali, and her color scheme is super fun to work with so here she is  still don’t know how to draw longneck snouts. 

[RainbowFaceProtege]

Ali looks beautiful! I'll agree that longneck noses are super hard--I actually have a harder time with that than I do with Ducky's face. I'm loving your coloring and shading on Ali here...PUUUURPLE! <3

[Flathead770]

Ah yes, flatheads are getting some more love   

Very nice Jassy! I don't see any issues with Ali's snout here so you would have fooled me. Great job once again! 

[jassy]

@RainbowFaceProtege Thanks so much! Haha I feel the same, props to the animators for drawing Ducky’s face and longneck snouts so many times.  I honestly think purple is one of my favorite colors to work with, apart from green

@Flathead770 Haha Spike will always be my favorite though  and thanks! I guess I’m just a bit more critical of myself than usual
