I know this is from GlacierClear but damned if I can find where the hell I got it from! She’s got like a bazillion archives, sites and even more actual sketches. She must draw every second she’s conscious.
This one has no reason for existing but to titillate. But sometimes that’s okay too. I recognized that not only does she not have a tail, but her pussy is extremely puffy. Someone said it looks like a pussyball. But I figure there’s a fetish for everything, and in the scheme of things a pussyball fetish isn’t so bad.
Original by Chochi:
Yeah, that’s not a bad place to start! Base colors first:
Went with the exact complementary color for the bed, just to try it. I wanted to try some soft shading (and highlighting) using opacity on this one. Came up with this:
Then I added sharp shading to boot. Because of my debacle with light sources last time, I actually drew in the light source lines to help me with shadow placement – based on the reflections in her eyes.
That’s my attempt at soft shading with an opaque brush. But I also did similar with highlighting – as well as normal highlighting:
And finally some little shading on the bed and a couple more little tweaks:
That’s it. Naughty tailless Kitty by Chochi, colored by me. With Pussyball at no extra charge!
This one took days. And then FurNut pointout out the multiple problems I had with the shadows. First, here’s the original sketch by Chochi…
What possessed me to think I could do this, I really don’t know. I pulled out every trick I knew. Then I posted it to FurNut’s server for review. He pointed out what was, perhaps, a problem with the light sources in my shading…
I laughed. I cried. Then today I got to work. I’d already put too much time in to give it up, that’s for sure! So instead I erased all of Chochi’s shading on the table items. Then using the hightlights he drew in their eyes, I figured out where the light source was. In fact, there are two so it’s inherently inconsistent. But I extrapolated a light source triangulated to the intersection of those two which was the best I could come up with.
And so, here’s the final version:
(removed the window. It was distracting.)
Now, for details if you care. First, there are no nipple bumps in Chochi’s drawing. I added them. Because I like nipple bumps. I think nipple bumps are God’s gift to mankind. I also added the Shiny – but at least only on things that might be covered with shiny cloth. Mostly.
I said I used all my tricks, and I meant it. I did my little furshading on the two tails you can see. I did the woodgrain on the table. I did the hair highlighting. I can’t even remember the rest. I hope you like it as much as I do. I can pretty much tell the individual personalities of all of em! Good job Chochi! I know he doesn’t do much Kitties anymore, but I wish he would. They’re still A-Door-Able.
He’s got some others I really want to color. He does better than me, but he’s been absent 7 months and seems to have disappeared. I’ve yet to find an artist who minds me coloring their sketches, so hopefully he won’t either.
Here’s the final version:
Not a lot of new experimental techniques or anthing, but I think she turned out nice – and I toned down my shiny to a tolerable level I think.
I showed it to Kaz and he was okay with me putting it on the Booru. Rather pleased at that, though if it gets taken down by mods, I’ll understand. It’s pretty much the furthest edge you can get without being totally totally NSFW.
Anyway, so I came across Starfighter’s work while looking for a Rajirra or Katia to draw, and darned if he doesn’t say right there on his FA page that he’s fine with others finishing/coloring his sketches. So I took him up on it!
I wouldn’t say I’m GOOD at linework/inking. Just that I’m getting better. I kept most of the sketch in behind my lines here as I was planning to go truly furry with it, and some sketchy lines enhance that I think.
I wanted to experiment with this one, so I tried some colored gradient shading on her boobs and a bit of belly. The result was less than optimal. Interesting, but naaa… It’s not just that I only did the boobs and belly so they pop out as 3d on a flat cat – but the color just is wrong and the gradient is TOO smooth. Someone said they look like eggs. (They do!) But it was funny so I’ll show it here anyway.
No, instead I went for 2 level hard-shading. This is an in-progress point. I had the background basically added and most of the colors. But I wanted it more furry than this so I wasn’t done yet.
And here’s the final. I got some suggestions – mostly on the shadow and there’s a VERY slight pink on the nipples. Hopefully almost imperceptible.
That’s it. Starfighter’s Rajirra. She thicc. I also learned a new acronym! BFCT.
There will undoubtedly be more of similar proportions to come. Starfighter has more! Hehehehehehhhh. I’m calling this one nsfw, because it isn’t. Nothing is obviously showing, but, let’s be honest, you don’t want to use this as a screen-saver at work.
I don’t know if I can call it an Artists Block because I’m not really an artist. I just color other peoples sketches and stuff. But I sort of hit a wall with nothing I was interested in. I started working on a Kazerad Katia, but honestly it was boring.
So I asked someone for something to work on. He sent me this so I colored it.
No, it’s not my best work obviously. And the style isn’t what I would call my favorite, but it got me over the hump and back to doing stuff again.
Fortunately partway through doing this I came across another artist that actively encourages people to line and color his sketches!
As for this one, I’m afraid I forget the character or artist. I’m sure someone will remind me and then I’ll update it.
I was gonna do the one on the left also, but there’s just too much missing. But I do like her expression anyway! I started linework on it before I gave up. Yeah, she’s a bit too too (pendulous?) for my preference, but I can still see the appeal.
Alas Valtik appears to have gone somewhat dormant.
Last FA Journal entry 2 years ago. Most recent FA submission 7 months ago. Most recent Tumblr post 4 months ago.
No response to my email asking if it’s okay to color his Roo drawings.
I’ll try to lay off them, but… I couldn’t help myself.
Warning – this isn’t cheesecake like most of my color jobs. No, this is just flat out furry porn. (But I think it’s GOOD furry porn anyway!)
Here’s the original by Valtik:
He’s got a fully nude version too, but I went with the “frantic-rip-the-clothes-and-get-the-Roo-butt” version for my color job.
In typical Tsunderoo fashion, she loves it and looks all frowny and pissed off at the same time. Why do I find that even hotter?
Anyway, I won’t do the layers thing. Here’s the final colored version.
I’m not going to go into detail on the content. That pretty much speaks for itself. But I did get some suggestions from another artist on this one. The green spandex with black edging was my idea, but originally I had the saturation up even higher than this. He suggested I tone it down a bit as it was blaring everything out of your eyes kinda green. Some suggestions on revising some shadows a bit. and some hair shading improvements. The rest you can blame on me (and Valtik of course!!! It was his idea!)
Background pretty simple but with a RL photo of an exercise mat.Seemed appropriate, even if the angle isn’t EXACTLY right for her pose.
I rather liked the little rip-strappy bit. 🙂
And, per Valtik himself, um… that’s… not… well, how can I put it delicately?
There is no concern about her getting pregnant (regardless of what species the male is or what time of the month it is). Yeah, that sounds better.
Anyway, I like it (obviously!) And when Valtik comes back, hope he does too.
At least I’m keeping up interest in his stuff while he’s away.
So, I wanted to try my shading technique on a butt instead of boobs. And I did kinda want to do another Audrey. She’s such a cutie! And so helpful too! Look at her picking up around the house when people KEEP leaving stuff on the floor.
(That’s by the Herny-man himself. I just think it’s too cute to not repost every once in a while)
Anyway, so I came across this which is pretty much perfect for what I wanted to do. By balooga on e621.
Yeah, she’s boobless here. But hey, for a change boobs aren’t even the focus! Frankly I thought about drawing a curved line to add them, but that’s kinda cheating the original artist. He wanted to draw her sans-boobs, so she should stay sans-boobs.
Obviously she’s sporting thigh-highs there, but when coloring it, I realized that those lines could easily be used for another purpose…
I turned em into water. 🙂 So now she’s hanging at the wading pool. Very COMFORTABLY hanging at the pool I’d say. Oddly, no one’s complaining. They just asked her to lift her tail a little bit. Not sure why.
****************************************
Slight edit by some people I highly respect. Primarily lightening of most sun-reflections, but also if you’re keen-eyed, a subtle bluish tint on butt and tail from the water.
UPDATE: Artist is Valtik and character is named Roo. Updated colors to match her canon colors. But I’m not going to repost since I already did once. Bottom image is final version with canon Roo colors.
APB out for the artist and character. I don’t know either, though I colored her based loosely on Freya – though I’m pretty sure it’s not. Mostly more practice of my new boob-shading technique. Gotta find a good butt sketch next to see if the shading works as well there too.
Anyway, pretty hard to elaborate much on this picture when I know so little about the character so… what you see is what you get.
Here’s the original sketch:
And my colored version
Revisions due to suggestions by various people, all of whom were right.
I hate doing revisions after I’ve declared something as finished, but sometimes it’s really worth it. Revisions include:
1. Shading in boob-valley. 100% improvement and gives a better 3d effect.
2. Removed shading at edges of arms. As someone pointed out, dark doesn’t “project” like that. Light does, but not darkness
3. Added boob-shading to inside of arms. Again, improves 3d and there would be shadows there anyway as evidenced by the dark directly under them.
4. Added blush as indicated by lines on cheeks.
I think I’ll reblog myself. I try not to do that, but it is a significant improvement based on suggestions.
That’s her proper colors btw. And check out Valtik at FA or here at http://valtiik.tumblr.com for more naught Tsunderoos.
