Art Thread

[D-Rock]

Quite the colorful cast of characters, Bat. It’s great to see some world-building.

I asked for art prompts on Discord, one of them was “Oliver in something Christmas-y.”

This was asked yesterday.

So I made it a punchline. Let’s go with the idea that Ollie just liked the hat.

[DDeer]

Handsome Bently, DDeer, but watch the "open container" rule - love the spangled foreground you're driving off into. Hope we'll get a little more of that environment in 2021.

Thanks, lets hope so,. the handbrake is definately on in this scene, I'm not that smooth a driver, think it woukd be drinks over the upholstery if not .

Thought you all might struggle guessing the Car, you are right on your research Amazee the Stag stopped being made a while back but you still see a few around, never know, one day I may even get one (one can dream).

Ollie looks somewhat non plussed at the festivities I have to say.

Dryideabat, excellent drawings, really like them, love the bat, very hard to do anthro bats. Good sense of scale and textures in 4.

Kawaii-eyed Olive is too much! The question is who is going to tell him. Holly: "It's when Hallmark makes all of their money through cards and TV specials; when I give you something and you give me something in return."

I really like the work that you did with all of these! Is number 5 Dry's mother?

Thanks. Lol. No, that's not Dry's mom. Her name is Desiree. To summarize the synopsis in the link, she was accidentally trapped in a dimension of darkness while searching for an experimental fruit. While the fruit did not cure her leucism, it gave her enough strength to best Arezzo (when not in his beast form).

[Amazee Dayzee]

Really beautiful job on the picture that you Rocky have uploaded up here now! Oliver is so cute like that! I assume in canon he would know what Christmas is? I assume Mirage and Macabre who enjoy going to other dimensions would end up in one that celebrates Christmas or go to the mortal realm in their dimension and know what Christmas is and they would tell Ollie and want to celebrate it.

[D-Rock]

Thanks!

Well, he’d still have to learn things, but I’ll leave it up to y’all who tells him.

[Amazee Dayzee]

So does that mean I can make a poll in Discord?

[DDeer]

Some preliminary sketches of a Husky character I'm working on just to show I do occasionally use a pad and pencil, having a long coat requires a fair bit of maintenance and shedding can be a problem, takes a while to drip dry as well . Trying to improve my drawing of the whole body and also getting more expression into my drawings.

Looking great! Figured long fur could be a problem.

[Amazee Dayzee]

Really nice work as always! This picture came out so wonderful!

[NHWestoN]

Juno?

[Cesco]

Very nice draws, DDeed! Very good work, D-Rock, I love the draw for Gamecobra! Well done, Nicholas and the others.

[Amazee Dayzee]

I can say that it is indeed a pain with long-hair dogs to dry them after we have to give them a bath which is often. Its more hard when they won't let you brush or dry certain areas without trying to snap at you. >_>

[DDeer]

Juno?

Looked up Juno the Husky, a very cute dog, assume you meant that one but no, this is one of my own characters I'm developing,
Initial details/ideas below:

Name: Chloe
Husky
Eyes: Pale blue


Quiet but surprisingly forceful when needed, Chloe is honest and very loyal to those she trusts. Hard working and organised, a creature of habit and a bit of a collector. Chloe finds being long haired a pain and often gets her coat trimmed short but it soon grows long again, she loves being out in the open and goes for long walks at any opportunity whatever the weather, cold does not phase her but sunstroke is a problem in the summer months. She has a slightly rebellious streak at times. Likes: Spicy food, Dislikes: Birds

Actually, Deer, I was struck by resemblances to Juno Wolf from Beastars, especially the model on the left of the frame. Your Chloe, however, is a very handsome lady also and probably quite the personality.

[DDeer]

Ah, I did wonder if that is who you meant, yes pleased with the leftmost pose the most, thanks.

[Amazee Dayzee]

That is a really nice character that you have there! Possibly at one point she could have been a Spring or Summer?

Thanks Amazee, I think most of the cast of Housepets have been suspected of being Spring or Summer by now

[Amazee Dayzee]

I don't think that Bailey has been brought up as a possibility considering the fact that she and Fox are biological cousins.

[dryideabat]

She really is a lovely doggo, Ddeer. She looks so cute in the sequence. It must be a pain having to repeatedly clean the brush every 10 seconds, especially if it's her time of year to shed. But it's gotta be done.

I drew this for Cesco, featuring his feline OC.

Except maybe for Fox.....

[D-Rock]

Cesco looks great, Bat! Don’t see his character too often.

New Discord prompt. Micah receives a letter from his “secret fan.”

[Amazee Dayzee]

Really lovely job on both pictures you guys! Yay for seeing a picture of a kitty!

Also the writing in the letter Micah has looks like the writing of one of my OCs.

...If I continue to say that will it make it true?

[D-Rock]

Nope. Just used a font available in Procreate.

[Amazee Dayzee]

Well as I said, I always have Oliver who is now my new favorite character and is precious and needs to be protected at all cost.

...Except from getting accidentally caught up in Sickle's prank. Just so we can see Sickle have a huge freakout about it and run for his life.

[NHWestoN]

I hope Cesco is delighted with his depiction. Terrific portrait, bat.

[Cesco]

Cool draw and amazing surprise, Nicholas! I love it, thank you really much! Cute draw, D-Rock.

I am, of course.

But it is kind of you to says so, Cesco.

[D-Rock]

Art prompt. Some people aren’t the best ones to seek advice from on certain topics.

[Amazee Dayzee]

So is Nikolai seeking advice by reading the book or did someone ask him and he is trying to give them some advice?

[DDeer]

Made me smile D-Rock, thanks for the kind comments Dryideabat, excellent drawing of Cescos OC by the way, you seem to be able to get clothes looking "right" with minimal lines, something I struggle with.

[Amazee Dayzee]

If I could draw really good like everybody here I am sure I would have problems with drawing clothes also. Which would be really frustrating as ALL of my non-Housepets OCs have clothes. >_<

[D-Rock]

So is Nikolai seeking advice by reading the book or did someone ask him and he is trying to give them some advice?

He’s looking for advice after realizing that he was falling in love with Trevor, so he decided to check out the writings of someone who has had experience with that.

And it quickly turned out that these weren’t good experiences.

Got another Discord prompt.

Vex: “You know, Mac,-“
Macabre: “Refrain from referring to me as such.”
Vex: “Noted, I have to admit, I always did prefer just about any other place over home, but it wasn’t until recently that I actually took the time to enjoy these places.”
Macabre: “It’s why I refer to elsewhere as home. What’s authority and power if I didn’t have joy?”
Vex: “I’m just glad that we never had to stick with where we were from.”

Macabre has been quite the guide for other rogue demons.

[dryideabat]

Yeah, I'm with Nikolai and his expression. Zeus is probably not the best guy to learn from when it comes to romance with random mortals. With all considering, Hade's book is probably better overall.

It's nice to see two bros just chilling and enjoying the simpler things in life. Just being away from the smoldering salt mines of home can be therapeutic (I can relate).

Cool draw and amazing surprise, Nicholas! I love it, thank you really much! Cute draw, D-Rock.

I hope Cesco is delighted with his depiction. Terrific portrait, bat.

I am, of course.

You're very welcome. I'm happy that you like it.

[Amazee Dayzee]

I love what you have done with the picture Rocky! It came out really gorgeously!

[D-Rock]

Thanks! Nikolai will have to figure things out on his own. And what can be more relaxing than sharing drinks with someone in a similar predicament as you? Probably a lot, but sharing drinks is nice, too.

Last Discord prompt, in the form of a question.

[Amazee Dayzee]

I honestly cannot tell who that is just by looking at it. I thought it was Halphas but I don't think he would seem like the type. I'm losing track of all your characters Rocky! Thought that is a really nice picture.

[D-Rock]

It’s Halphas.

Future Self: "Be ready to be even more surprised by the goodness of ordinary people, you pessimistic old *******!"

[Welsh Halfwit]

It’s Halphas.

It probably Halphas to everyone at times.

[Amazee Dayzee]

Yeah I don't know what you were trying to joke about with that.
