GIANT COMMISSION OF DEATH - Inks
Just showing everyone here on FA what I've been up to :3
There are a few people I'm very, very unhappy with how they turned out... mostly, anyone feline. I fucking fail at drawing felines.
To every feline on this picture (Except taneli, he came out not too badly...) I apologize for epic fail. D:
For the most part though, rather pleased with how this is coming along. Hopefully I haven't messed anything up and I'm okay to move on to colouring :3
This part always makes me nervous... waiting to hear how many people hate me for doing a terrible job or messing stuff up xD Bleh. Makes me feel a little ill even. Hopefully everyone is okay with it.
Edit- please, people. No critique on this one xD I normally don't mind it on normal pictures, but this giant thing is a totally different experience. It is what it is, and I don't think I could do much better here. I'm nervous enough about what the people in it are going to think already, I don't need you people making me worry even more! Hahah :P
Seriously though, I'd really thank you to hold back on the critique on this one.

See the guy, just to the right of the centre, with the goggles around his neck? That guy did. Well, sort of. He didn't pay for the whole thing entirely, what he did is organize everyone at a forum he's a part of together, got each person who was interested to pay their dues (around ten bucks or five pounds or something xD) and he gathered up all the refs and sent them all to me and manages all the complaints and organization....
I feel bad for the poor guy. All I had to do was draw it! xD

I had to cut the paper out of a piece of bristol board, making sure each piece would fit in the giant envelopes I have, and then tape two of them together.... in the end, it ended up being roughly 11 x 35 inches or so. To put it more visually, when the paper is held lenghtwise to the floor, it makes it up to my waist, and I'm just shy of six feet tall. So it's not tiny x3
It's certainly a mental challenge as much as anything else x3 Which is why each individual character looks somewhat... shotty, I'll admit, compared to my solo images. I'm kind of hoping they all wanted to be in this more to be together in an image than because they were looking for spectacular artage, because it's very hard, between the mass amounts of characters, and the smaller size of each individual character, to make them look too good. It's a huge test of patience and ability and everything else >.>
*laughs* Getting everyone in proportion... is something I fail miserably at. You'll notice the sizes are all outta whack in this picture xD I really tried to take size differences into account, but I'm so used to drawing everything in a set size that it's really hard to change it. For me. I'd say, personally, that getting people's sizes correct in relation to each other is the absolute hardest part of these giant pictures. So I always warn them before starting these that size-wise, they might not be anywhere near what they should be xD
It's supposed to be similar to a photo snapshot, you know, like someone with a camera gathered them all together and took a photo. Generally, 80% of the people in such a picture -would- have nothing but a simple smile on, right? I mean, imagine how odd it'd look if everyone had their own expression on. xD
*laughs* Awesome is probably pushing it a bit. I'm aiming for "satisfactory". If that's what I got then I'm happy xD
And so far... about three and a half days of actual drawing so far. There was a week in the middle though where I couldn't work on it for people to point out mistakes, but, actual time spent drawing is only about three and a half.

Welll, I dunno. Nearly 500 dollars is very, very good motivation xD It's just a matter of being methodical about it. Once you sorta get into a production line style mentality about it, it's not that hard. Really the only part about doing these I don't like is waiting to hear what people have to say in response to them >.> That makes me so nervous... I'm always worried everyone's gonna hate 'em xD
Hahah, I'm still deciding if I'm ever going to be willing to do a massive group picture like this again xD They're really... -really- hard on my nerves. Even the drawing part isn't so bad, but between knowing they don't look as good as my solo images because of the changes in size and stuff, and worrying that everyone is going to hate them, and the large amounts of money that get tossed around during these things, it's really quite nerve wracking and unpleasant.
I need to be about ten times better at sketching, verious species, various facial expressions, and various poses, and then I might be a bit more comfortable taking these xD I just don't think I'm good enough yet to really be the person doing these group commissions. I dunno why people keep coming to me for them xD

You're too hard on yourself sometimes. The reason people keep asking you do to them is because you do an outstanding job on them! I understand that keeping the image fresh by having a variety of poses and facial expressions can be tricky, however, if you compare your group images with any RL group photo, then you'll see that yours have so much more character within them! Sure, I don't expect you to always do group piccies like this since I can imagine they take a hell of a lot of work! But don't ban yourself from doing them since you are unhappy with a few little things
I wouldn't say I do an outstanding job on them. "Okay" is the highest I'm willing to go xD There's too many errors and repititions and mistakes and such for it to be outstanding, haha.
But, oh, I can't imagine I'll ever forbit these outright. They're good for money, and getting attention in my direction x3 As long as there's a demand for them, from me, I suppose i'll keep to it. Thanks though :P

I'd offer you a few pointers on cat facial structures, but really there isn't that much wrong with them. You did a wonderful job, and if someone has a problem with a few flaws just tell them your not a machine.
Also the bunny on the left has an almost cat like face, soooo cute!

I really, really dislike pretty much all anthro sea creatures though. I find them terribly unappealing, which would make drawing them not so great considering my main choice of theme.
I guess I just like fluff too much. Sea creatures pretty much always have no fur or even hair to speak of. And they just look weird in general to me xD I don't think you can expect to see very many sea creatures from me I'm afraid :P

Heheh, thanks :3
I guess I had a pretty good christmas yeah. Didn't get much of anything special, but then again, didn't ask for very much either. I already pretty much have everything matieral I want, everything I really need can't be bought xD So me and my parents sat around a tree, opening presents, they had some drinks, everyone was laughing and telling jokes and opening up cheap crap... a good time was generally had by all. I'd call it a good chrsitmas, yes.
How about you?

It was nice I cooked for 15 people from a wheel chair. I can start standing again but I am still to weak to stand for long. The dinner turned out great I made rost turkey, goose, yams,stuffing,gravya,greens. ,mashers ect. We didn't exchange gifts this year insted we took the money and gave it to worthy causes.
Cooking the trukey and everything sapped all my energy so I have been in bed for the past couple days. My boy friend thought I needed some atention.and I am still to weak for sex so he was gently useing a dildo on me and my mom walked in she got a real good look at exactly what was going on D8. The worst part was when she asked us about my dog knot toy and were she could get one lol.
I can't recall if I told you this but I sent you a little something so keep an eye out. I was also wondering if you had sent that pic yet?

Sounds like an interesting christmas xD And hey, at least she took it well.
Truth be told I kinda forgot about it, haha ^^; I'll be sending some stuff out in a few days, that giant commission being one of 'em, so I'll slip yours into the pile with them. *nods* Not sure why you'd want it though, it came out so terribly xD

well im certainly not going to yell at you after you've taken on such a project as this. that's just cruel XD though i do have two questions...who is in it?(if you have to list every single person's name to answer that then dont bother)
and who in the world commissioned this rather endurance testing project?

Maybe you did, but just incase you didn't... ;P
Who's in it? A lotta people... xD I don't have a full list, but as I said, there's one on dA with labeled names if you're interested.
The guy that commissioned it is Thrashwolf, the guy just to the right of the centre, on his hands and knees sorta, with the goggles around his neck :P
