I've mentioned once earlier that I'm rather active on a fan discord for Zootopia, and decided to finally bite the bullet and try to see how Rocky would look in the style. This took a few days and there is plenty that needs to be done to make him match, but screw it, I don't want to stress myself over this too much again. So here he is.

Going with the idea that he'd get or modify shirts to have an extra large opening for his brace.

I am very stubborn and really didn't want to remove his brace or gem.

Nice, you've got the hands and feet well, I always find those tricky.

That picture of his has came out very nicely! Wonderful job!

Thanks, y’all.

So here's something I drew a while ago, just got round to uploading, linework was hand drawn then scanned and coloured on computer, really an experiment to see if I could do it. may tweek it some more sometime, particularly last frame. Anyway let me know what you think.

Lovely and pastoral; I'd say more but envy is an ugly emotion.

Nice to have another arts-ist on this thread.

Really nice draws and comic, Daunted Deer.

Again very good work to you, D-Rock.

Very nice work on the anatomy, D-Rock. Hey, as the song says, try everything.

Beautiful comic DDeer. I think that view of the countryside looks great. It succeeds in conveying a sense of vast serenity away from the cramped bustling subways (can't say I miss those).

Here are a couple of test sketches. In this first one, can you guess the name of all 4 video game characters?

Now, for this one, I never had time to really get into the series, Aggretsuko. But there was something about Haida's voice (English dub) that I like

Post by **D-Rock** » Tue Sep 22, 2020 11:54 pm

I am heavily considering making Macabre in the style as well.

That picture of all of those game characters. If Kingdom Hearts was game-centered as opposed to Disney-centered. Looks nice! And have yet to take the time to watch Aggrestsuko myself, but yeah, Haida was a pretty popular character on account of his voice actor, Ben Diskin.

DDeer · Post by **DDeer** » Wed Sep 23, 2020 2:32 am

Looks good! I won't give the game away but I can guess 2 out of the 4 chatacters, lost to touch with games recently. Thanks for the comments all!

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Sep 23, 2020 2:53 am

Really inspiring work as always Nicky! You really are a strong and talented artist!

Yep, a group of bros who have dealt with interdimensional travel.
And hence why I drew Haida in that pose.

I now imagine him crossing into the other picture.
Haidanort: "I am the 14th member of the real organization."
Sora: "Okay... W-why are you a hyena?"
Haidanort: "Look, I was going through a phase during my Mark of Mastery exam, playing with dream-eaters and stuff... Don't judge me! BEGONE!"

Heh, nice.

Got an ask, and ended up needing to be split in two images.

That definitely us a very great answer! I am so happy she found peace for herself and isn't doing something she detests!

dryideabat · Post by **dryideabat** » Sat Sep 26, 2020 12:25 pm

Nice answer. Touches base on a number of interesting themes. Even in the netherworld, not all is pure black. Infernals can feel remorse doing their jobs (it's good to be bad here) and are not just evil for the sake of being evil.

Here's a funny scenario that popped into my head. I was not sure which characters it should involve. Yes, this seems crazy for even Heidi, but here she approaches Macabre with a gift in the underworld. I'm curious how Macabre would react to such an offer, though I'd imagine that it would not perturb him much, enough that he would calmly ask the right questions.

Heidi: "Hi there Macaroni. I found this and thought you might like it as a helmet."
Macabre: "The name's Macabre and thanks, but I already got a helmet." (How did she get in here?)
Heidi: "Really? Aw oh well, maybe it can make a nice cookie jar or something."
Macabre: "Where did you find this?"
Heidi: "I saw it lying on the street and picked it up."
Macabre: "...You see a severed head and the first thing you do is pick it up?"
Heidi: "Yeah. No use letting it go to waste."

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Sat Sep 26, 2020 12:35 pm

Which, of course, begs the obvious question, "If it doesn't do to waste, where does a severed head go?"

(To Headquarters, mebbee ........ ?

)

Post by **D-Rock** » Sat Sep 26, 2020 1:27 pm

Thanks, man! And yeah, I’d say you got Macabre’s personality down here just right.

Gee, Heidi, nothing phases you, does it? How thoughtful of her, though.

DDeer · Post by **DDeer** » Sat Sep 26, 2020 2:37 pm

That's quite a surreal scenario D-Rock, like the drawing though.

Had anothrer crack at my avatar, what do you all think? I can never get the antlers right!

Great job on both of the pictures you guys! They are wonderful!

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Sat Sep 26, 2020 3:26 pm

Heidi is always the usual naive girl, and now she's also macabre.

Very nice draws and artworks, Nicholas!

Good work with that answer, D-Rock.

Cute portrait, Daunted Deer!

He's a very handsome guy, Deer.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Sat Sep 26, 2020 4:25 pm

He is ... and antlers are really tricky which is why you don't see a lot of well-drawn bucks in the comics.

Post by **D-Rock** » Sat Sep 26, 2020 4:35 pm

Only thing I can say is that it looks like he has a third antler.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Sat Sep 26, 2020 4:56 pm

Bit of blue on pate, there, eh?

DDeer · Post by **DDeer** » Sun Sep 27, 2020 2:55 am

Thanks for all the encouraging comments, glad you like it, yes think I need to tone down the blue in the antlers, know what you mean about a third antler, something is not right about the positioning and perspective I think, when I get time I may have another crack at them. I noticed there aren't many stags featured in comics, now I see why!

Post by **D-Rock** » Sun Sep 27, 2020 3:15 am

I like the color, honestly. and yeah, I have a jackalope character, those horns are weird, and I went with a more "basic" design.

In the end, though, it's all a journey for you to find what you like most, and like drawing most.

DDeer · Post by **DDeer** » Sun Sep 27, 2020 9:44 am

Any images of the Jackalope on the thread? Like to see how you tackled it. So I had a bit of time this weekend so I set too and redid the antlers looking at photos of real deer for ref, let me know what you think, an improvement methinks

Looks pretty good, and a pretty well-discernible curve to the back antlers. My jackalope has just basic antlers. viewtopic.php?p=915322#p915322

DDeer · Post by **DDeer** » Sun Sep 27, 2020 12:19 pm

The Jackalope works though. Always think it's a big dilema on antlered or horned characters just what scale to go for, too large and they just hog the frame.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Sun Sep 27, 2020 12:36 pm

Fine pix - looks a bit more "moose-y" or caribou than whitetail but, hey, every year's a new year for the antlered folk.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Sep 27, 2020 1:28 pm

You definitely are a far better artist than I could ever hope to be! Wonderful work!

dryideabat · Post by **dryideabat** » Sun Sep 27, 2020 3:39 pm

Nicely drawn DDeer. The antlers are a neat design choice. With the spots, he looks like he might be a fallow deer.
I like deer too. In fact a certain animated deer was among the first to influence my art style almost 2 decades ago.

Very nice!
