Trakoclock asked:

Hey, if you don’t mind sharing, I’ve always wondered how you got that soft celling look on your characters in your comic. Any tips? I’m currently working on my own comic and I kind of want to go for a less harsh form of cell shading. Thanks!

A couple people have asked about the way I color things and I’ve been meaning to post a tutorial on it :]. I’ve never been too good at describing my process, but I hope this helps!

my response to anyone who is like ‘you know those characters are related/underage/animals, right?’

is

you know those characters are??? pretend??? right?? pretend/imaginary/NOT REAL PEOPLE??????

I’ve been dealing with this argument for over a decade. There’s just some people who will never understand that cartoons aren’t real.

because it is the bane of my existence to see artists who don’t even TRY to get bird anatomy right, when they’ll gladly put forth the effort to learn mammalian anatomy

BIRDS ARE SO EASY TO DRAW

THERE ARE NOT MANY MOVING PARTS ON THEIR FACE

NOT LIKE US SQUISHY MAMMALS

still debating if I should make my own HOW TO DRAW WINGZ ref or just link to some good ones I’ve seen, since there are a plethora of both good and god-awful tutorials out there for wings already. I’ll probs make my own because other guides neglect to mention that GASP DIFFERENT BIRDS HAVE DIFFERENT SHAPED WINGS BECAUSE THEY FLY DIFFERENTLY

THIS IS AWESOME BUT JUST ONE NOTE

Almost all birds are capable of moving their upper beak, aka prokinesis, it’s just that parrots have the most obvious degree of it. prokinesis is the movement of the beak at the point at which it is hinged to the skull of the bird.

There’s like a million different types of kinesis to do with the beak/rhamphotheca/whatever but yeah, parrots aren’t the only ones :D

I can’t find any good pictures to demonstrate but yeah, it’s present in almost all birds. Loons and ducks are good birds to look at c:

Raccoon spirit for Gaia’s newest CI. X) I… really love raccoons, but this is probably no surprise. I gravitate toward all things scrappy and roguish so… I had to do the raccoon. I also ~~secretly~~ openly have a crush on Mayhem so… ahem.

datcatwhatcameback:

Back in September of 2010 I bought a drawing from an artist at Furaffinity (link below). He charged me ninety dollars ($90) for it.

It is now August of 2012 AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE DRAWING.

I am pretty pissed off now. There has been ZERO communication and on the rare chance I do get…

Holy crap, Brian O’Connell is still around. I thought he dropped off the face of the earth almost a decade ago.

Yeah, he’s been like this since the 90s. You’re kinda screwed. Best I can suggest is keep trying to contact him and perhaps post to artist beware: http://artists-beware.livejournal.com/tag/artist-brian%20o%27%20connell

Sullivan’s Fur/Feathers/Scales wildlife texture brushes: LINK

The eyedropper blending tutorial mentioned in the Q&A: http://youtu.be/XMM3Z7lXPwA

Sullivan says:

The Brushes (Tutorial Part 2)

Hard Round 25 Fading
Take your normal hard brush, make it 25px large. Now go to the Brushes menu and click “Other Dynamics”, and set the Flow jitter to Pen Pressure in the drop down menu.

Hard Round 5 pixels
This is your basic, default hard brush when you load up Photoshop with the regular brushes it should be right at the top… no need to change it!

Airbrush Detail
Load up default Photoshop brushes and scroll down til you see the soft brushes—- pick one that is at least 60px large. Open the Brushes menu and click “Shape Dynamics” and set it to Pen Pressure, then click “Other Dynamics” and have the Opacity and Flow jitters set to Pen Pressure as well.

Tips For Custom Sullivan Fur Brushes

these are easiest to use when highlighting, try picking a color that is lighter than the area you are drawing on.

the brushes are pressure sensitive, so you’ll want to use these with a tablet. try drawing lightly for softer fur, and push harder for more tufty fur.

just scribbling one of these over your drawing will make it look dumb, trust me. try layering the different brushes, or going over with your own brushes to add in your own details for a more realistic look.

try playing around in the Brushes menu… color effects can look really neat with these, see what works for you :]

Rules

you may NOT attempt to resell or redistribute these brushes; if you want to share these brushes with others just link back to the original deviantART post.

please give credit when you use these! i’m not normally fussy about giving credit, but i worked hard on these so it would be appreciated.
