Artist's Comments

Well... Haven't uploaded in a while. Hope you like this style... I'm beginning to find it more fun and soothing than cartoon stuff. I'm obviously not that good at it yet XD If you want some awesome digital realism go see =daisy7 or *balaa. Anyway...

This is Katook the ring-tailed lemur, the main character of my favorite book: The Katurran Odyssey. Katook is copyright Teryl Whitlatch.
(^ hence why this picture is in "Fanart" rather than "Animals")

Please critique and stuff -- I'm very new to this style :) This is only my second attempt at it, though, so be nice XD

EDIT: At the risk of sounding bossy, please full-view ^_^; I noticed that a lot of detail was lost in the preview...

:nod: Definately a lot of detail was lost in the preview, because I full-viewed and the fur just blew me away. It is just so gorgeous, each seperate strand standing out and adding a lot of feeling to it. Very fuzzy, I really love it all! :heart: Your anatomy looks fine, you got your ears in the right places and a wonderful lil' nose to round it out! :hug: A little tip I could offer are the eyes. They are beautiful, quite sparkly and full of life, but I do admit they seem a little flat compared to his entire body, which is very 3D. I personally think that a little more blended shadowing along the top of the eyes and the very bottom of the eyes might round it out a little more. But I am quite inexperienced, so maybe you should just keep experimenting and see what works ^.^ Just pointing that out, and overall, this is just too cute! :hug: Keep it up!

First of all, thank you so much for the compliments and the wonderful comment :)

And thanks also for the suggestion with the eyes! I can never seem to get them right >_O

I saw this while browsing the fanart section, and I was like, "Hmmm...?" But I see there's a reason to it. Anyway, lemurs are adorable, in this is really quite well done. You're right, the full view has much more details and subtleties, the preview just doesn't do it any justice. I wish I had some constructive criticism, but art is just a hobby for me... The one thing that I think could be improved is that the eyes (or at least the light reflections in the eyes) are to well-defined, it gives them a bit of a cartoon-y look whereas the rest of it is rather realistic. Anyway, great job. :)

Thank you :) And yeah, the eyes were(are) a problem XD I really must work on them. Thanks for the great comment :D
