Description This is my (very late, as usual) half of a trade with ": D She asked me to draw her an owl and a hedgehog and so I did. Of course interpretation is yours but my thoughts on this were concerned around the two quite a lot separate "worlds" these two usually are inhabiting and how they could possibly blend a bit...


- - -
I've been wanting to submit my part for an eternity now but my first try somewhat failed and I had to come up with a new one. Hope you like it! n____n

Media: aquarelles, ink, pencil and white gel pen.

No, no! I do that all the time (forgot things). : )

I've also been busy lately so we're on the same line here. ^^ Having a trade is always interesting.

Aww. I'm glad you enjoy my gallery. : )

I like art trades very much! : D But I have to warn you that already because of my current living situation (to be graduated this spring from our "high school") it may take some time before I manage to finish my part. But I always do finish them, so one shouldn't be too worried over it. n___n" Just making sure you to know before really agree on anything.

But as I said, it would be nice. Your gallery is beautiful. : ) On what subject you would like me to do my half? And in what type?

only thing, i want a red balloon on the ATC! is that okay for you?

and what can i do for you?

Aaah! Sorry for the late answer! Red balloon sounds nice as I really enjoyed doing the previous one, too. : D

What comes to the other half of the trade, I'm always curious in seeing how other people depict my own characters. : ) Nevertheless, you're very well having the right to use your artistic freedom and for instance alter or even change the outfits and choose a place you find most interesting etc. I'm not feeling too strict over them. Use of humor is also acceptable. : P

Take your time and I hope you have fun with the task. (I'm always feeling a bit awkward asking someone to drwa my own characters as so many people do that - in other words I'm a bit worried if people get bored in drawing other people's own characters. But send me a message if you would be more comfortable drawing something else. And of course the "less human-shaped" characters (or creatures) can be chosen, too. : ) Sorry for answering this late! o_o"

Uwaah! A hedgie and an owl!! Beautiful, the simple style of it reminds me of a children's book illustration. Heehee, these two would make quite a match for a book. ^^ And all the little flowers/clovers sticking the the hedgehog.. X3 Adorable!

sherega In reply to Ginasa [2010-03-19 22:34:05 +0000 UTC]

Haha! Maybe I'll illustrate children's books someday, then. It would maybe be fun, even. n__n Your pictures and the film of Aru helped me with familiarizing myself with the anatomy of a hedgehog, by the way, so thank you for uploading them. (I hope you can keep him! He's just one adorable little creature. : )

I liked how the spikes eventually turned out. Figuring out how to do them cause me some headache at first. o.Γ³"

Ginasa In reply to sherega [2010-03-20 03:03:12 +0000 UTC]

Yaay I was helpful! XD Aru's spikes feel like a rough brush when he's calm. But yes, your style here looks a lot like something I would see from a children's book. It would be a good side job at least. (I haven't talked to the housing office since then but he's still here)

Haha, those spikes would be hard to draw.. I wanna print this out and stick it on my wall.

sherega In reply to Ginasa [2010-03-31 05:41:29 +0000 UTC]

Your comments usually are. To me. Often times they provide always something food for thought. : D

Ah. He seems so small. And the spikes so sharp. I had to go through a lot of pictures on hedgehogs before I decided how to draw the spikes. n__n" I'm glad he's still with you there.

Illustrating children's books would be nice. I guess I could even like it. : D

Ginasa In reply to sherega [2010-03-31 05:51:11 +0000 UTC]

-^_^- Yay!

He's small enough to fit in one hand, I don't think he's getting any bigger since he's a little over a year old now. (other than getting fatter) Aru's not any more friendly than when I first got him but I've grown use to his grumpy personality. XD I think European hedgehog's are much bigger though from what I've seen of pictures.

sherega In reply to Ginasa [2010-05-06 11:12:26 +0000 UTC]

Aww. He really sounds really small. I've never seen any hedgehogs in any "animal supply store" here but in nature they appear quite large. They inhabit the Southern part of Finland, though - in other words: no hedgehogs found from our garden. ) : It's been a long time since I saw one last time in real. So my perception can also be clouded with the fact that I was smaller by my size then, too. xD

Grumpy Aru. He sounds actually quite of a character! Strictly keeping consistent with his train of behavior. ": D

Ginasa In reply to sherega [2010-05-07 03:53:15 +0000 UTC]

I was reading up about them, apparently those are protected and you can't take them in as a pet or anything like that. the european hedgehog is a lot bigger than the african pygmy. You can find plenty of pictures online of them fitting into both of your hands. ^^

Haha, yeah he's a huffy angry hedgehog who only wants to sleep and eat. At night though he comes out and digs in the cat litter and runs around. I'm thinking of making like a paper maze for him to run around in.

OMG <3<3<3<3<3 I love it! I especially love the hedgehog and owl in your style!Please email this to me! I am definately printing this out and framing it! D8 Its absolutely gorgeous. I want to jump into the picture and hug both of those! :3 I love the background. dont worry about being late, i still have to finish an art trade as well and ive been so busy i hope to finish it during spring vaca! I absolutely love it! Thankyou thankyou thankyou!!

Oh, good! I'm really glad you like it! And I'll email it sometime very soon. : D (Now I'm going to go sleeping) Aww. I printed Ophiopogon on paper too and carry him folded between my notebook containing the "organized" info on my "unreality"-related things. (After a year not having one, I noticed I begun to forget things like what was the real name of Scarlet's father and so on. I have a terrible name-memory and tendency to enjoy adding all sorts of random info within. -__-") I love the details of the objects around him and Ophiopogon as an overall. <3 Hope you get a good print.

And I'm sure the owl and the hedgehog would like to hug you back. : D Picturing down a hedgehog was by the way very useful. One of the works I need to do in order to apply to one of the Universtities I'm trying to get in, asks for drawing a hedgehog based on the poem given. xD

Haha! I was so worried over being late that I'm really relieved you aren't mad at me. x--D

Very nice! You made the composition nice and interesting with all the negative space at the top. They look very happy in their little moment, well done!
As always, I love your use of color ^^

I'm glad how it works in practical. But the small picture only annoys me - white and that blue mess on it. xD

I enjoyed how it turned out. This was my second try with the theme after all and I would have gotten really annoyed little by little if "forced" to paint everything all over again. n___n" Nice theme though. I've seen quite a many pictures concerning on owls and hedgehogs lately. : D

DreaGryphon In reply to sherega [2010-05-28 17:13:50 +0000 UTC]

Really? This is the only one I've seen at all with an owl and a hedgehog. I must be looking in the wrong places.

sherega In reply to DreaGryphon [2010-05-30 16:35:33 +0000 UTC]

No no! I meant I've seen a lot of pictures of them separately as I've been planning on what to draw. : D I remember none picture of an owl and a hedgehog being in the same picture, actually. So you're not maybe looking for from wrong place any more than I am. xD

Oh! That makes more sense! They look good together though, so I wonder why there aren't any.

I wonder it, too. I was actually somewhat surprised on it. I had so many ideas on how I could have used the theme. : )
