For a long time I been wanted to change, a bit, the design of Amaranth, as well are-design his reference sheet. His original sheet was very dark, and I really don't like how I arranged the information, not to mention that design was a mess and his mane was so dark that you couldn't see any detail. I didn't change his original design much, because in the end it's a design I am very fond of, but if I simplified it a bit and changed the green tones for more orange tones, seens it was the least I liked about his original design.

Hey, I was at my aunt's house, and I was very bored, I wasn't quite sure what to do, so I decided to do a quick painting study. I was trying something different, and it was not paying so much attention to the texture of the fur, so I forced myself to use a single brush to paint everything, like trying to add small accents with other colors. My second rule was to keep it simple, and not add too much detail, but I guess I didn't quite make it ^^" well, it's less detail than I usually do. What do you think?

Wow another cat, who would have thought that? A small reference sheet for a story I've been wanting to write for a long time, but every so often I change details :b and then I don't even know what to write. The story is about witches, or wicca, and this is the protagonist's cat, Candle. And Candle is a mix of bengal because I like them too much XD The story is based on a dream I had :b and in the dream the cat was completely black, but there are already many characters like that, so I wanted to make his design a little more interesting. I also want to make a mini reference sheet for the rest of the characters, but first I want to improve my human drawings ;-;  

A quick cat profiling practice I did, I used the same method of splitting my reference into straight lines, it makes understanding proportions much easier .3. except for the first cat, I used a vanishing point since it's in perspective.

Appropriate Appropriation

For class this quarter, my teacher wanted me to do “Appropriation Self-Portrait.” That is where I take a famous painting and put myself in there as the subject matter. It draws on the reaction you have of the original art, but changing it adds a new layer. I took "The Happy Lovers" by Jean-Honoré Fragonard and changed it to "The Happy Lovers of 2016". ;) To be fair, this has been a few date nights of late. :P

“The Happy Lovers” by Jean-Honoré Fragonard

“The Happy Lovers of 2016″ pencil by E.E.Nix ;) I darkened it a bit digitally to show the comparison better.

Here it is as the original

And 3 pictures of close up detail

Go Fish

Another boyfriend requested sea slug. He is shaped like a friend.
