Description Here's a rare one. I kinda like it but it's tainted for me as well. When I first showed it around, somebody once again made the unfortunate comparrison to the obscure ( but not obscure ENOUGH ) 80s movie " Rock And Rule ". Every so often, I hafta endure the old " your characters remind me of this movie.. " and then I cut in and say " I know. I know. Rock and Rule " . It's either that or " Hepcats ". Bleah.

I think Amber has on blue eyeshadow though. Yum.

No problem, I just like it overall but its nice to know you like it too, after all the artists can quite often be the toughest critique

Could you recommend anything to...i don't know, keep the flame alive regarding art? I tend to be drawing more for other people these days and not for myself or of my characters (Sorry to bug you!)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Phraggle In reply to antlercat-anon [2009-02-26 00:59:47 +0000 UTC]

Drawing for other people can get overwhelming if one isn't careful. I had that problem when I first started posting on line. Keeping the flame alive? That can be tricky. I know that finding a way to feel happy helps As weird as that may sound, it is true. When you feel good, life reflects that back to you in all ways possible. I try to think about and look at stuff that I like and not do anything until the feeling strikes me. But that's just me. I do bring my sketchbook with me to work to just doodle in. It may be why I fill them up so fast.

Aww, thanks for the tips! Maybe I need to start taking a sketchbook out with me - I never do! I appreciate your help a lot!
I'd love to draw Ralph for you one day (haha, after bitching about drawing for others! ) because he's a sweetie. Would you mind if I drew one of my characters as someone of Ralph's "species" too, or...?

I'm sorry to hear that your image was tainted by someone's comment about a movie comparison. It's really frustrating, trying to insist that you created this on your own independently from a movie right? Expecially if a lot of people are doing so.

I get that a lot about my insect drawings and it's not funny. In fact I get it with just about every one of my drawings at some time or another. I got so sick of it I actually posted a rule in my DA journal no comments about Disney, Pixar, or Dreamworks and to read my journal. I created my characters at least two or three years before the movie. It'as frustrating and discouraging.

Phraggle In reply to Butterflyhornet [2005-04-06 23:56:23 +0000 UTC]

That sort of thing doesn't bother me as much as it once did. For one thing, it's probably impossible to actually create something completely never-before-seen. Everything has bits of something from it. If people could create brand new concepts, they'd need to have God-like abilities. One thing about people comparing my art to other things is that it pushes me to try and make my stuff as umm... " my own " as I can.

I like your characters. I don't see many folks who draw insects so that's pretty cool.

Butterflyhornet In reply to Phraggle [2005-04-07 03:13:33 +0000 UTC]

Thanks

I think it just may because I draw antro-like insects and many people associate antro-like creatures or biped animals with Disney/Dreamworks. And because they did a movie with insect characters, then any sort of cartoony human like insect gets the label. I notice it with people who draw cartoony lions as well. Kind of funny how people are.

Hm...I'm always reminded of those old kick-ass 70's storybook illustrations when I see your art. And some characters remind me of Jim Henson stuff...but...you know.

Regarding the pic though, *lovely*. Looks like the shot on the back of the comic or DVD that showcases the main characters. That's a good thing btw. Love the looks on their faces...AMber especially!

Thanks. I don't mind the Jim Henson references. Fraggle Rock is a huge inspiration for me. I'd love to be able to do a fraggle comic some day. I've thought about doing one for myself.

He owns it? I saw it once on HBO at like 4:30 in the morning waaaaay back in the summer of 1986 I think. I was all excited about it because the TV Guide said it was rated PG and had strong language. The didn't even say " hell " in it. I guess I just wanted to see cussing cartoon animals or something.

I'm actually afraid to watch that movie again.

Well, " Rock and Rule " isn't really bad or anything. I guess it's on par with people comparing my poozjad guys to Jar Jar Binks. " Hepcats " is an anthro comic. It was pretty good though. I have most of them.
