Description
Hey guys!
Since I haven´t uploaded anything for some time, have a small sketch-and-WIP-dump for now. Parts of this are quite old, but most of it is recent.
From top to bottom, left to right:
- rough sketch of Fuchur/Falkor as a gift for my former flatmate, who is an awesome person and helped me out when I was in a pretty desperate situation.;w; This thing is huge and will probably be printed as an A3+ poster when finished.
- a follow-up commission to one I did two years (?) ago with an identical pose for Chimiera . This one is from 2014, but I never uploaded it.
- my chimera Gasherbrum, drawn with coloured markers back in march
- a giftart for Kris18 I did in may. It shows two of her leopard seal characters.
- the sketch my latest artwork was based on (showing my ribbon-character that will most likely be named Pierrot now, since so many people voted for it)
- one of the tiny tooth fairies from Rise of the Guardians, sketch done in march
- my sphinx Shuruq... I just love to doodle her when I´m stressed out or don´t have ideas for what else to draw XD
- a personal artwork of one of my OCs I´m currently working on - rough first sketch of the pose on the left, more detailed sketch on the right and the final sketch (work in progress) at the bottom. I still have to correct some anatomical mistakes, but I´m already quite proud of it.:´D
The last months have been rough and I didn´t get to draw much at all, so for a 'getting back into my routine'-sketch it´s turning out nicely.
Sketches done with either Faber Castell 5B - 6H pencils or in Paint Tool SAI, coloured works done with no-brand markers or also in SAI. Traditional works all around A5 size.

Danke sehr.
Ich habe noch viel zu lernen, was Anatomie und vor allem Muskeln angeht, aber langsam werde ich besser.

Ich glaube da haben wir alle nie ausgelernt, oder?

Oh goodie, sketches! ^^ Love shuruq and toothfairy :3 Also, the last guy, you're going to make picture with him I presume?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I´m working on a picture of this raptor character.^^
Right now it´s on hiatus, though, because I´ve got a commission.
Well... theoretically I don´t have time. But as always my inspiration goes crazy whenever such a phase happens, and when things go slow again and I have lots of freetime it seems to be on vacation and leaves me behind alone.XD

I feel you. Yeah, I've put on hold everything too, because of a commission :/ And I have to many ideas what to do with the time I don't have now ^^" Typical

You are offering commissions now? Interesting. I believe you told me once that you were afraid of offering those... or am I confusing you with another dA-friend of mine?:>
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, for some time now I've made commissions available. There's not much intrest, sadly, but who knows. I wasn't so keen on doing commissions, that's true, for various reasons, but I've overcame my insecurities and decided I should try, at least

It took forever for me to get a decent amount of customers. The trick is to make some special offers at the beginning. Maybe accept points for a while and make a 30% discount. This way you won´t have as much pressure ('Well, they didn´t pay much, so if they aren´t 100% content with the result it´s not the end of the world.' instead of 'Gosh, I´ve got paid a lot to draw this picture, I can´t mess up!') and attract way more customers.^^
I could also feature you in an upcoming journal, but it might take a while before I write my next.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I accept points either way, but the discount is a good idea, I guess ^^
As it turned out, I'm not going anywhere for summer holidays, so I may just as well get my business going
I would be honored if you do, thank you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aaah, I have a lot of pending commissions (meaning I´m on waiting lists, but haven´t paid yet). Otherwise I´d definitely consider ordering something from you.<3
Well, let´s see what´s left of my points once all these artists asked for their payment. Maybe it´ll be enough.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww, you don't have too xD I would like to order quite a few commissions myself (from you included) but the money's tight. I'm gathering cash for new pc hard drive ^^ but after that I would like to support people with comms :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I only order commissions if I like the artists works, not to do anyone a favour. I worked hard for these points, after all, and want to spend them on artworks (and adopts X´D) I will enjoy. So there is no need for you to say 'you don´t have to'.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yay, I'm happy you like my works, seriously ^^
And I also want quality work if I'm going to pay for it, so for me not anyone would do too. In other cases I just make art trades :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of course I do! Otherwise I wouldn´t be watching you. I only watch people I consider equal/better than me and from whom I can learn new techniques, anatomy, compositions, etc. - or who simply manage to inspire me with their great ideas and creativity.:3
Art trades are almost more valuable than money to me, to be honest. I put so much time and effort in trades, sometimes even more than in commissions. That´s why I rarely do trades anymore.

I admit, my belief in my skills isn't that great, so thanks for that
Yeah, I do too ^^" Most of my best works were for trades 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I believe most artists underestimate their skills. We always only see the mistakes in our paintings, not the things that turned out well.
When I discover a new, interesting artist I often leave a comment when I put them on my watchlist. Some answer, some don´t. And when they do I sometimes use the opportunity to ask for a trade. Most decline, but at least I tried.
The majority of my trade partners ask me, though. I get up to five requests per month.

Oh, I often leave a comment on profile page too ^^ That's nice. When I get my 'to do list' cleared I would like to ask Lingrimm or Shinerai... not counting on favourable response, though xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow, you really aim high.XD
These two are always booked out with commissions, so the chances aren´t in your favour. But hey, you just might get lucky and catch them on a break.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I know. There are less busy and popular people I would like to trade too, but we'll see
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I have some of the people I traded with here on dA featured with their trade picture underneath my profile ID (together with commissions and giftarts). Maybe some of them pique your interest, they are all great people that definitely will do their parts and not let you down.^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh! Thanks for info. I'm going to check them out
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Don´t know if any of them are open for trades right now, but it´s worth a shot.^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
BlueJay-Cat agreed to trade with me :>
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That´s awesome!
Can´t wait to see the results of your trade, I´m sure they´ll be darn pretty.<3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She has so many charas, I don't know which to choose!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know, right?XD
They are all so cool and unique, it´s hard to be limitd to one.
Do you have (a) favourite/s already or are you still completely undecided?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
One of those three, I think...
But there are others that I like, I just thought that those would also pose some kind of challenge. What do you think?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I think ill be drawing Phess, ive seen the character before and I was blown away ;^; of not maybe 505, id like a challenge myself as well! The top and bottom of the ones you chose are definitely some of my favorite characters, for sure! i cant wait ;u;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh my gosh, awesome! Phess is one of my favourites too, so I'm happy :3
I'm pretty torn which one to choose... But probably I'll draw Cre because he poses a better challenge, but I would want to also draw Khenti some other time. He's so pretty ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Holy shit happy birthday by the way!! I didnt even see!!! <3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I drew the first one and had a blast doing so. One of my favourite creature designs ever.<3
I like the strange anatomy and creepiness of the second one, it could be put into some very quirky and interesting poses. And the third is just downright pretty... also: water effects, yay!
Difficult decision... I´d either go with the first or second character.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it's a tough decision... I think I'll try to sketch them all and see what comes of it.

Thank you!^^
He is such a beautiful character, sketching him is a lot of fun.

Ach gottchen, der ganz oben ist ja unglaublich süß ;_;
Gott, ich mag deine Skizzen, die sind echt schön und so sauber und detailiert *-*
Aber ganz unten der Screenshot von Sai, ist das wirklich mit Sai gezeichnet? Das sieht wie eine Bleistiftzeichnung aus, oh mein Gott o.o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wenn du ihn nicht kennst, dann schau dir unbedingt die unendliche Geschichte an. Ein sehr schöner (Kinder-?)Film mit vielen tollen Charakteren.
Jep, das ist SAI.^^
Ich habe den normalen Pinsel mit Standardeinstellungen benutzt, dazu schwarz als Farbe und die Größe 1px.
Musste auch ein bisschen rumprobieren, bis ich den Bleistift-Look gefunden hatte.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aaaaah, ich hätte di ebeschreibung genauer lesen sollen, ich dumme Nuss ;_;
dachte er sieht aus wie Fuchur, hehe, ich war als Kind total verliebt in die Unendliche Geschichte, habs sogar gelesen und die kassetten rauf und runtergehört ^^
Wahnsinn o.o
Muss ich auch mal ausprobieren, das sieht echt ziemlich supi aus und ich suche nach diesem Look auch schon seit ner Weile^^

*patta*
Ist doch nicht schlimm. Sowas übersieht man eben manchmal.
Dito. Mit den Bleistiftpinseln, die ich hier auf dA gefunden habe oder die das Programm selbst zur Verfügung stellt, war ich nie wirklich zufrieden. Sie sehen immer zu rau und eher nach Kohle oder Kreide als nach Bleistift aus. Viel Spaß beaim Probieren, ich empfehle wenig Druck zu nehmen und schnelle Striche zu setzen. Das erziehlt die besten Ergebnisse.

Awesome to see your sketches
I already thought I remembered the first sketch form somewhere, I knew it! XD

Most of them are just quick doodles and/or early stages, but I don´t have much to show at the moment.^^'

Ermergawd, you reacted so fast xD
No, I understand, but that's ok. Besides, these all look very wonderful
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Well, sometimes one can get lucky and I check dA right when they sent their message.
Thank you!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xD Yes they can.
And you're welcome ^-^
