Fat Panda's Asreal by ♥madplumber

Artist commentary

Thank you very much for visiting! Advanced criticism and professional advice are strongly encouraged.

This is my rendition of Asreal, a character by [Fat Panda] of [Furry Art Pile]. I do not know much about the character and it is my hope that I do not bring offense to it with my liberal interpretation or meager skills. Fat Panda's design for the character can be seen [here]; I strongly encourage people to see it as well as his interpretation of my character Varia which can be seen [here].

The significance of this drawing is that it is my first entirely-digital image. This drawing was built from scratch in Photoshop, and maybe I'm getting mildly better at using it. The one thing I learned is that I need to STOP PUTTING THE TABLET ON THE SIDE OF THE NOTEBOOK! PUT IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESK, YOU STUPID IDIOT! GOD, I'M DUMB! Being colorblind, I had to solicit help from my sister in choosing a few of the swatches. I was uncertain as to whether I should have just stopped with the line art or go ahead on and try to color. My choice of colors does need to be a subject of criticism. I also found out while sketching that I was able to save my brush setting in my brushes and tools, which is helpful when I divert my attention to other projects temporarily. In the original Photoshop file, I set my brush to 100% hardness, 20% flow, and airbrush mode. I found this setting helpful when sculpting the figure. Also, the ability to throw on other layers provides a level of security for me.

Again, I am grateful for your visit and would encourage you to visit [Fat Panda's gallery].

    Wow, nicely done MP! She has a mischievous, sexy look to her... What application did you do the lineart in? Again, nice work!

      Thanks a lot, Cap! I did everything, including the lineart, in Photoshop. I set up a low flow brush that allowed me to put down light sketchy lines and sculpt the figure how I wanted it. If I can get better on the program, I can probably save myself from buying so many art supplies. Thanks for visiting!

    Thank you so much! She came out lovely. In fact, she has that mixture of slinky and mischiveous that I was originally going for with the character. I need to get writing on Tales of the Wanton Lamb so you can see what she's like.

    Thank you again, a wonderful job!

      I'm very glad that you like it! It was my hope that my interpretation didn't deviate too much from your concept. I'll certainly being watching out for Tales of the Wanton Lamb. Thank you!
