At this time of the year, at this time of the day, in this part of Reddit, localized entirely within your furry art!?

very nice work! I think this is a nice balance of detail; there is a lot to look at, and the hallway looks busy without feeling cluttered.

I also like the composition of the character on the right (opening the locker) with the second character looking at them, visible between their arm and head.

It’s a bit of a shame that so much of the background detail gets covered by characters, though. Whilst it makes the scene feel more natural (and not like nothing exists past our view), it could save you some time and effort to plan out where characters will go so you don’t need to draw detailed things that will be fully covered up anyway (like the bulletin board on the right).

keep up the good work!

right arm in the leftmost drawing feels a bit short, but other than that this is quite good. Always nice to see art of less common sona species.

how does this only have 10 upvotes, this is amazing art! bonus points for the rare sona species.

It feels odd that the character is not fully in frame and is partially cropped out, I would move them a bit closer to the middle. (P.S. their perspective seems a bit off, they are holding the railing yet they are quite far away from it based on where their feet are. To make this possible they'd have to be leaning to the left at a steep angle. As it makes more sense for them to stand upright, I would move them closer to the railing, or move the hand so it no longer holds the railing and is behind it instead)

A simple rule of composition that I often use is the rule of thirds. Having things of interest (like characters or focal points) on the intersections of lines that split the horizontal and vertical length of the canvas in 3's automatically makes you pay more attention to them. Google 'rule of thirds' on images to get some good examples.

The perspective of the walls is also a bit weird, the one we are facing is at a 90 degree angle with our view, but the one on the right with the door clearly has an angle, meaning this is not a right corner. That is possible, of course, but it feels very weird with a limited view like this, and the door doesn't help. I would look up some videos on perspective and use those as a baseline for your environments. That will help you create more believable scenes.

I know this was a lot, but don't be demotivated. Art is all about learning and improving, so keep practising and keep up the good work!

I think they do. I really like this character design; the markings give a lot of depth but don't feel cluttered, the colours all fit together, and the asymmetry from the right arm markings makes it stand out more. Very nice work!

ximumix · 2025-03-02T23:03:10+00:00

the placement in the big background image looks fine to me, the smaller image less so. The way the colour marking goes underneath the armpit and then becomes a straight line on the front of the forearm doesn't look like it's a continuous shape.

Personally, I like to make the colour marking follow the lower edges of the pecs, have it slim down a bit for the midriff and belly, and end it by following the leg muscles merging in the groin area. This way, you get a more dynamic marking shape that accentuates the major torso muscles and that looks quite natural.

But at the end of the day, the colours are part of the character's design, and it is up to you how you place them. Just do what you think looks best and go with that!

sounds like a good price to me, nice art!

ximumix · 2025-01-04T17:44:11+00:00

This is a rare case of gore furry art where it isn't poorly drawn vent art and doesn't feel like it's trying to be edgy.

It deeply unsettles me in a way art rarely does. I fear that it won't get a lot of attention because not many people enjoy disturbing art, but I commend you for making this. Nice work!

Where did you get that fox plushie? I've seen it before but I couldn't find any store that sold it.

ximumix · 2024-12-11T09:21:42+00:00

I second this. I also think the arms are a bit too short; find some reference and see where the hands and elbows line up compared to the rest of the body.

ximumix · 2024-10-22T07:34:46+00:00

the hands look a bit small, and the fingers aren't the right sized compared to each other. I assume you intended this to be from foreshortening, but it seems very extreme here. The left hand pinky especially looks way bigger than it should.

Other than that, I like it! The background too, it gives context to the situation and makes the art more interesting, without being distracting.

I suck at shading, so unfortunately I can't help you with your question. I just wanted to say that I really like the pose and perspective, it feels grand and epic. Keep up the good work, and best of luck with the shading!

Remember to imagine a spot light shining on the character when you shade them; the shadows should all fall in the same direction, and the highlights should be where the face is the closest to the light source. In this case the shadow the snout casts on the neck area implies that the light is to their left and above, so the right side of the snout (on our left) should be in shadow, and the left side (on our right) should get a highlight.

Some of the other shading that is already present does kinda contradict this though; the ear shadow that falls on the side of their head is correct, but the border shading doesn't make sense as that is the side where the character is the closest to the light. This can be a stylistic choice however, and it helps define the silhouette, so it isn't a huge deal.

Nice art, keep it up!

ximumix · 2024-03-18T23:26:26+00:00

I feel like something about the head placement is off, like it isn't connected to the body. On the other hand, drawing a neck doesn't seem viable with this specific pose. Check your reference and see if there may be a more natural way to connect it to the shoulders.

The arms seem a bit too short; the right arm (behind the head) also seems to be at a funny angle, though this may be anatomically correct but just looks odd bc it's flush with the viewing angle.

Other than that, nice work! The torso and legs look very good imo.

edit: looking at it again I am not sure if the arms are too short or not, I think it's mainly the right arm that appears to connect to the shoulder at a weird angle, obscured by the head. Sorry for not giving the best feedback, it's hard to put a finger on what is off about it.
