Phew, finally.

I seriously thought colouring this would finally be the end of my pathetic existance. It was so awful to get the colours as accurate as possible, and it didn't work. Rooooaarr. I uuuused... eight different colours for just her fur. And the frosting (white-tips) don't look so good... Aw, well. I'll look at this in a few days and think "OMG I RAWK!1" XD

I'm very pleased this with one overall, anyway. Her face is soooo cute. :P

Goth's is next. I haven't even started it so it could take a while. XP


Refer to my drawing of Shade for the Silverwing design blab. Like I said in it, the cartoon's designs are cool, but they are, well, incorrect. (Yeah, so are mine, but at least I tried to get the species' major characteristics in there. XPP)


Prismcolor pencils and blender, black liquid ink .5, black pigment liner .05 on printer paper.

Edit: My gosh I am soooo awesome. It was picking at me all day but I realized what I did wrong with the fur! I had to break my no-editting-to-drawing-after-it's-signed rule but oh well. No one cares. Her fur looks so much richer and now I'm going to go marry myself. :P

She looks all soft and cuddly. ^^ Nice! I can't wait to see Goth though, he's my favourite character.

My parents keep asking me how school was. It's like asking, "How was that drive-by shooting?" You don't care how it was, you're just lucky to get out alive.

OMG!!! This is first time I've seen someone draw the bats of this book, aside from myself, the way Oppel intended them! Everyone draws them like action figures, it's digusting! It's nice to see some art that actually looks like the real-world bats they are intended to be! PERFECT Red Bat, with the round fluffy head and everything, you have been REALLY true to the animal!!

You know, I never did find out what her species was, I just remember seeing a reference of her with reddish fur like this. Again, awesome job, and such a cute little pink nose and tiny bat ears! ^^
