Wuuf The Bika

Post by MisterSushi »

http://badmistersushi.deviantart.com/#/d3fdwsq

I'm thinking of adding the old looking Wuuf portrait from the game behind him... But then again is it cooler with there
being no reflection there- as if he just got resurrected?

I'm going to try my hand at markers for this one- so I'll post the finished colored one when I'm done with it.

I'm taking suggestions here- do you think his potion should be a helpful Vi potion or a Ven bomb?

I agree on the paws :). I think maybe it should be a Vi potion in his paw...he's not stupid enough to waste his precious starting flask on making a destructible bomb, I don't think ;).

Excellent! :D

I only wonder what the expression of his face means? Is it friendly? I don't know. But I like this ambiguity.

Ooh, quite like the shading on the fur :). Though I think the pink on his pads stands out a bit much, and the texture of the armour makes it look like it's made of rock or something, rather than leather. But I like the floppy ears :). Is there a reason you didn't colour in all the brickwork, or is the picture still unfinished?

Oh, wow! :shock: Brilliant! :P

I agree with Ameena that some colours (not only pink, but also blue) are a bit too... ummm... bright?... but it's because of the technique used, I guess. I think you use some sort of marker pen, don't you? Or am I wrong?

What is the armour made from? I agree with Ameena that it looks a bit... unusually?

But as I said, I like it very much, especially the fur is excellent! :D

I'd just sort of assumed that the armour was supposed to be leather, since Wuuf starts out with a leather jerkin as well as the flask...

Here it be. Maybe a bit too colorful- I think I'll use pastels next go round :D

I was using some Bic color markers- just to get a feel for them~ Cheap, and not as good as Roseart.

Whatcha think?

Excellent! :D As I said, the fur is exceptional!

I'd only have one remark - the whole picture is a little bit too dark to my taste because of the too dark walls. But it's not your fault, of course - it's because of the limited palette of colour markers. As you said, pastels are going to be better (also perhaps more laborious).

I'm looking forward to your next drawings! :P
