Awwww. That is a sweet thought. I'm sure he'll like this very much dude. ^w^

Keep up the great work! X3

I-I hope so anyway. ^^; I admit my shading is nowhere near his epitome of shading perfection that I oh so marvel. I just had make some fanart for that devishly handsome rat of his, goodness, he runs chills down my scales. X///3 If he likes it, I shall be...probably super giddy in a corner, trying to calm myself down. I do want to try shading again for maybe some other pics, even though...gosh, it takes hours. AGGGGGHHHH!

Thank you EZDBud for finding this little fanart a fun looker. ^///^

Eternal looks good in his usual robes, as a cowboy and certainly dressed up with a monocle, and I think you've reproduced his likeness perfectly in this piece. I'm sure Eternal.knot will appreciate your work, particularly the shading.

Oh! Well, that idea of him being all dressed up was from...a silly idea I had that just...stuck with me. I was imagining him as a sage and looking very suave. >/////> You are right there, Eternal has such tastes, even though he doesn't care for fashion. Anything he wears he looks so alluring in. And...you really think I reproduced his likeness perfectly? I'm not sure about that, Eternal.knot draws so beautifully. -////- B-but, t-thank you Lylithix. I'm not sure how I did on the shading myself, although gosh this took awhile. I kept giving little smears in, going over it in multiple graphite pencils, going over and again, giving lots of love taps with the 'gum' erasure. Ugh. Frankly...maybe I should have shaded over it some more, but if I went on any longer, my hand was going to punch my face to make me stop. XD

Shading this handsome rat was fun, yet...very tedious. XD If Eternal.knot likes it, then I shall be doubly glad with what I made.

I think it is a Xray monocle

Sorry for the late reply.

this shading looks really awesome. You did a very good job on this. It looks like an old photo from the 19th century

I defenitly need to draw such a pic myself.

you gave me the inpiration for a new profile ID pic

Oh I am so utterly honored that you find my shading awesome. I was literally shading over and over again, thinking I didn't do good enough of a job and taking in your own shaded pictures as reference as well as what I learned in my old art class. Frankly I wouldn't mind doing this again for something else. :3

And goodness, I wasn't expecting my picture to inspire you for a new profile ID pic and give you the need to draw a new picture. I'm very flattered that my little drawing is able to give you more inspiration.

I had the upmost fun shading him in, making your rat's handsomeness pop out. This croc could give him a much needed smootch if he didn't mind too much. -////-

indeed it gives me inspiration

you show all the important skills for good shading. Only thing I could add to mention here is that you can also fill in some deep black spaces, maybe with the ink pen and then shading the remaining parts, that would give it more intensitiy.

But nontheless it is awesome, no doubt about it.

May I ask, if I can upload this pic in my gallery too?

I wish to copy it as a side note to my future ID profile pic, to show others where my inspiration came from

0/////0 O-of course you can upload this pic in your gallery! I'm honored you wish to upload a little peice of fanart from me. -/////-

Hmmm, an ink pen? I don't think I have one of those. In that case, I suppose I can experiment and use that after I go to the art store and get one. And thank you for giving me some much needed advice on the shading. I was wondering if I should have shaded the remaining background, but I admit considering how long I was shading your handsome rat, I got pretty lazy and didn't want to shade the rest. ^^; I shall try what you said in the future, as I do want to try a shaded peice again. :3 Again, I'm flattered that you find this awesome and I greatly appreciate your comment. *bows humbly while my mind screams internally like a fangirl*

thanks much for the permission. Now I have a very cool idea on how to combine your pic and mine
