Look at that sexy dragosaur! Look at him! <3

He all poofy! (Probably needs a bath.)

aaa that owns

i think we have similar tastes in fursona reinvention

which is why it owns obviously

I will settle on some kind of design, I swear God I will


Someday

Eventually


...I think. :/

just be a vague notion. a cool new fursona every time.

That just might be what happens.

Berbie you have such happy cheeks.

He's a poofy-cheek kinda guy. This time around at least.

I know the urge to constantly redesign characters very well... love the idea of the designs shaved into the fur, and that it's actually a different design to the last image a few weeks ago.

Cool, unique character, without being convoluted or overworked, I think :3

Thank you very much, for that last comment in particular, since it felt like this took at least an hour too long.

Oh but he's adorable! And it's neat to see that you seem to "sketch" with paint. Lots of volumes there!

Hee. *blushes*


I've spent so many years working super-tight that it takes a lot of work to shake those habits loose. I much prefer loose and chunky painting. Gil Elvgren, Frank Frazetta, Greg Manchess, all them buggers, living and dead, that painted as if paint was cream cheese and the canvas was a thick slice of challah. I love 'em. That's where I want to get.

I love tight paintings personally (SO PERFECT AND REALLLL) but I also find the ability of people to do chunky free-form stuff with only a few slabs to be incredibly awesome. The idea of sketching with paint is magic to me!

Ok..really love the eyes and the smile here. Oddly enough, while it doesn't look at all simian, for some reason, the eyes, smile and genteel/inquisitive seeming nature remind me of Roddy McDowell as Cornelius in Planet of the Apes. Actually...that's really who you remind me of, for some reason. I think it has to do with how polite you are and how kind hearted you seem. And floofy! omg, I want to hug :3

Them's gracious words, goodbean! You're aligning me with my favorite character from the Planet of the Apes series, too, I'm not about to turn that down! :D

Come over to my place, we'll wear you so far out and stuff you with so much tasty food you won't be able to be grumpy.

I will happily spend an evening with good company who--*schlurp*--knows how to cook! :D

Well my alter ego cooks well, and has an open door policy. :D

I am feeling the temptation....!!

Well good. That was kinda the point!

Sadly we're far apart. Otherwise I'd be there in a flash. However, I now have a functional stove; there might be a cook-off in our future!

Well I donno, there was a pretty mean JapChae made last night :)

The Berb, he is not afraid of the cooking thing!

:D

I think he's very cool, and very painterly.Great, fun expression too, dood! Thing is, I'm so used to YOU, I never really learned to know you through your fursona! :"D

Hee! *hugs* Thank you, Master T', you are always so good to me. Berb isn't my "fursona", not as I understand the term, but maybe I don't know what people consider their "fursonas" to be. He's got his own personality. We share a few characteristics--what creation doesn't?--but on the occasions where I've drawn *myself* as a furry it's usually been a giraffe or wolf-thing.

I guess that's how it falls out. Had I a furry representation of myself, it'd cleave much closer to the bone, but I don't have need of such a thing these days. Berb is part wish-fulfillment, part mirror for id/superego junk, part means for getting comfortable with figures again, part weapon in the ongoing campaign to augment my tool chest. Berb's meant to be a fun fantasy play partner. I've no illusions that I'm a bipedal furry bisexual polyamorous dragosaur deep inside, but hey--I wouldn't mind playing one on TV!

All I know is that you're a major sweetie. :"D Thanks for sharing! It's always good to know more about you. *hug*

DEM FORMS! I want to have an art-affair with you, but I'm afraid I don't know exactly what that entails.

It probably means sharing a pitcher of beer and talking late into the night about art stuff, that's what I think. Sounds kinda fun, actually. ;)

Okay! I want to do that.

You're on. We're bound to cross paths eventually at some event or con or whatever. When we do, let's make this happen!

I plan on being in Washington eventually (need to gets me an industry job!) So you or Iiji will be the first people I notify. c:

Well, the Puget Sound area (not to mention British Columbia) are booming, and I, for one, will happily tout the Northwest's many virtues 'till the cows come home. Lots of gaming companies, good food, good beer and coffee, and oh, the natural splendor. It's like living in Princess Mononoke's forest.

It does have form to my eyes, so don't be too harsh. And you do fluffy creatures too, which is a major plus!

Thank you kindly, good sir! I thought "what the hell? Let's try making a version of Berb that looks like he just got out of the dryer." Fluff the boy up!

'teas here:

Middle column of pages, left-hand side, the red critter there. Super-coolest among a great big pile of super-cool sketches.

You rock. Truly. You're one of the people I look at when I think of what I want to be capable of with figures. Bam. Said it. Yep. Take that!

Ohhh I definitely get a sense of volume to this. That's why I LOVE paintings, you're definitely rockin' it

It's all about the volume! Well, volume and energy or gesture, something else I'm challenged to conquer. And weight. Volume, gesture, weight. And anatomy.

Criminy. 0_o

Thank you for saying such kind stuff!

aww man i love him. seriously!!! so cute c:

*Blushgrins* hee! You're making him all squirmy and embarrassed, but he'd also soak up the praise like a sponge. :)
