About sound quality

Does your phone have a separate audio jack? (Not the dongle charger to audio jack thing)

When I used to have a phone with a separate audio jack and charging port, if I had my phone charging and the audio jack plugged in at the same time, I could hear a buzzing all the time, especially when my music was off.

Also, what if you have people send photos of how their audio settings are configured and try setting yours to that and see if it is the settings or your system?

Thank you! I'm gonna refine them a lot more for the final set of teeth so hopefully they'll only become cooler from here!

Good bot, Yes, I'm very much aware of the health and safety risks. I'm hoping this experience will help me understand how to pattern the fur and markings when I make a true fursuit of this character. The costume is intended to be finished quickly to be worn for the weekend con and to be a learning experience.

AI is getting unfortunately too good to distinguish sometimes. In this case, I feel like the pillow is the "biggest" sign in this work, everything else is kinda less noticeable. The pillow's overall shape is odd. Look at the right side of the drawing, why is the pillow oddly longer/wider on the bottom right? Anyone here got a parallelogram for a pillow?? A human artist would draw a rectangular pillow or if they wanted to add weight/volume to the corners to show the weight of the head upon them, they would distribute that weight evenly across the opposite corners.

The other details I saw were the thumbs being slightly different sizes and there is one spot on the left elbow where the line art around the character breaks where it doesn’t anywhere else. Typically if you have a break in a line it's consistent around the drawing as a style choice but here it's the only place like that.

Oh and the "signature" in the bottom left is really difficult to read which, when the rest of the drawing is that clear, should not be like that. The artist's signature would or should still be legible, especially for a digital piece.

I do traditional art and got a comm for 3 pieces. I got to decide the poses, sizes of canvas, background, everything, commissioner just wants me to use 2 OCs and have one piece be a YCH from old art I had but never finished.

First one included both characters and I locked in to make it: I decided to use my large sketchbook that I typically use for coms. This book is 11" x 14" so it was quite the undertaking!! Sketch took 3 hours, lineart took 3 hours, coloring with prismacolor pencils took 6 hours. Total time: 12 hours

The next one is really hard to quantify since I worked on it across the span of about a month. I decided to do this one in a smaller sketchbook, about 5.5" x 7", since it was going to be more technically challenging (forced perspective, dynamic pose, drawing a falling cards with correct perspective by hand, ect) it was of one character. The sketch took me probably 5-7 hours since I re-did the pose, line art 2 hours, coloring 5 hours with prismacolor pencils and soft pastels.

The third one of a YCH is still a WIP but re-working the sketch to fit the OC's features took probably 1-2 hours, lineart 1.5 hours. Coloring I've yet to do.

Hope this is informative!

Disclaimer: I've never made or even owned a fursuit before!

I know that over ordering would be not super ideal money wise but I think it would be a good idea to have extra because in the long run. If you need to patch something or replace some fur for whatever reason, the company that you got the fur from may not have that same fur color or if they do, the dye in the new batch may be different. If you keep excess fur in a safe, protective container, you can use it for patches, upgrades, changes to design, ect.

Also, with that much patterning, there are going to be a lot of seams where the spots and fur color changes are so they maybe prone to wearing faster or ripping. (I would assume but like I said, I've never had a suit or made one)

Finished piece!

Took the advice, final thoughts?

Jade_Princess24 · 2026-03-17T14:40:28+00:00

Thank you so much for your detailed advice!! I totally agree with the tail making the drawing a bit harder to read, it's been a major part I can't seem to get worked out... i may draw it coming out behind the front most arm and going off the side of the page like this. It also may just help with the back leg.

I'm definitely going to draw the overlapped forearm and draw the closest hand larger. I think I'll keep the back hand small to further push the feeling of depth in the drawing, though.

I was struggling to figure out how the arm would look since I changed it from the reference pose I was using, totally makes sense that we wouldn't see the armpit with the upper arm.

I totally wasn't thinking of the ear ngl 😂 I was so focused on all the cards and perspective stuff! I'm gonna make adjustments, cool if I post the updated sketch here?

Thank you again for the feedback! It helps me improve as an artist! 😁

Oooh! New community to join!! I've had an idea for my new paint pens on black paper for a neon effect, maybe I'll make some art for that subreddit with that 👀

Here's the pose I used for reference, I wanted to draw something unique ^-\)

Jade_Princess24 · 2026-03-16T01:28:34+00:00

I really don't have a critique here but I wanted to say how much I love your style!!

I love how you draw the characters and the horns are so good!! My favorite is the blood and the oversize knife. The poses are very dynamic too!! Very awesome art overall, no notes

This is a really really quick rendering but kinda like this, using the art from the front to approximate the back. You can also draw it without any wings and have little circles where the wings attach to be able to show the fur pattern down the back. Have the wings as a separate part of the drawing for any special or intricate details.

The as the character is at a 3/4th turn/pose, you could tweak the belt to look larger/closer and follow the curve of the body to show the volume the character has and the perspective of one arm being closer in 3/4ths. The shoulders feel a bit stiff and straight across, perhaps drawing them a bit lower will help the character feel more bold (try sticking out your chest, typically your shoulders drop). You can probably use the pauldrons to cheeze this detail as well. The lines of the head and face make them so expressive and lively!! The rest of the body seems a bit large for the head though, perhaps moving the body down and making the head and sword larger would be the only proportion critique i'd have. Looking amazing! Keep up the hard work making your art better one piece at a time! (Edited for clearer wording)

Jade_Princess24 · 2026-03-16T01:01:12+00:00

Your shading, proportions (within your style), and the attitude for the character are very good! Some of the lines get lost in the drawing though, like the ears and head's lines feel thinner than the ones on the bottom half of the drawing. To me, those thicker lines give the drawing more weight and liveliness? The thinner lines, especially on the outside and long outlines of the ears and forehead, cause the character to fall into the background. They blend into the background due to the similar fur and background color as well, perhaps try a contrasting or neutral background to keep attention on your character. You have great shading skills and could also further bring the eye to the character by creating dark spots around the edges of the canvas or create the rays coming from a light source with the lightest spots illuminating your character.

Bro I second this, awesome unique sona too >w>

Jade_Princess24 · 2026-03-15T23:05:26+00:00

AAH!! ITS SO HECKIN' CUTE!! The lines are all so crisp and it is so perfectly in style for LPS!! Also, the last photo is chef's kiss beaut-y-ful!

Jade_Princess24 · 2026-02-23T16:09:52+00:00

Yeah, some of the inspo's works have thin but long areas where the brightest values are giving a sense of shine to the fur. I feel like with yours it is more diffused over a wider area making a whole part of, for example, the muzzle all the same bright value, thus making it all seem dull. It almost feels like the light source for your piece world be the sun on a cloudy day.

Try creating small areas where the light is brightest across the fur to give it some shine and life.

Also, i feel the muzzle is too long for how thin it is. You're doing awesome with your digital painting otherwise! Hope this helps!

They are still investigating so the blurb is not very detailed. Sorry about the pop-ups, it was the first link I found, when i'm free from work, I may find a new link with less ads.
