mixing Cats with Douglass Adams seems dangerous...

Poor Leccy...

I just love it!!!! That's a very funny self portrait RB! What I like the most is the background decoration, it looks like one of those POP ART comics but in black and white.

My Turn.... For ROLLERBOY:



Definitely a coup d'theatre... Bravo!!!

Thanks for the extreme laugh...

You people who can make great comics have my envy. ^^; Those are all awesome. I have an awful time with layout...not to mention I have an awful sense of humor, I can't come up with my own stuff.


And my own stuff...right now I'm trying to work on something and by god I'll never finish it at this rate, because I have no clue what I'm doing, markings-wise. XD I'm doing a 'group picture' of Misto, Tanto & Cori, Cass and Demeter. Maybe Jemima and/or Sillabub...oh, the confusion. I'm aiming to blend in my favorite designs for the characters from different productions- like Mistoffelees has his giant white ears that I adore from the Japanese production. I've got Cassandra down, as seen here...



...and thank goodness she has the basic thing going on across productions. I've been working on Coricopat almost all day today...and it's gone to show that I should have decided whether to go detail-oriented or pretty-basic-but-keeping-as-much-of-the-design-as-possible. I wanted to be able to draw the character, and then draw him/her again on-model with the markings, and that's difficult for me with the insane amount of detail the costumes always have (like the hatching...oh god so much hatching...).

...im in ur fandomz mutatin ur charactrs. I wanted to do them in a style that I'm more comfortable with, and that's even more cat-like but still anthro...please don't kill me. *flee*

That Cassandra looks great! I really love the level of anthropomorphization you chose--it's very distinctive.

I agree... Very nice blend to create a felinoid that still appears cat-ish... A very beautiful Cassie.

Ooo, I love that! Can't wait to see the others! I'm sure they'll be great too.

hee hee~ I couldn't help it. I just was like...OMG that would be so funny!

and I knew you'd be okay with me poking fun, as you are so regal and have such a great sense of humor.

Rollerboy- I adore your comics, especially the Electra Vs Electra one. More! More!

Rallers- Wow, that's really cute. I like the cell-shaded look.

Rahlee, nice to see you back (very appropriate avatar to the situation, I applaud that too ) and wow has you style ever gotten gorgeous It's still dinstinct enough to remind of some of the art you used to post here and to some disney fan communities (TLK, maybe?), but it's gotten all sleek and well-groomed. Appropriate that you should choose to start us with Cassandra as an example.

Good luck with the rest of the piece, hopefully you can figure out a working style for translating those markings. I've had a hard time getting patterns that are primarily shaped out with hatching on the unitards (like Demeter or the twins) to look believable as something that might actually grow in to fur. One of the irony's in stage designs that do, imo, effectively communicate the look of fur. Ah well!

Maybe try putting some of your reference images under a gaussian blur and turning it up until the little hatchy marks are indistinct, then reference those more solid shapes for your picture's markings?
