Oh, you. :) Rats are some of the smartest, sweetest, most affectionate animals around. It's their hoodlum alley rat cousins that gave 'em such a bad reputation. ;)
Lucky you getting the awesome presents! Everything Felicia Day is superb, and sillie82's rat illustrations is beyond precious.
You also did an amazing job with Tamara. She is a gorgeous gal, and while you may not love her jawline, you did fully capture Tamara's attitude and essence. And considering how tricky dark skin tones are with markers, you did a fantastic job getting the richness of color without going too dark. Simply lovely!
Thanks, bb! ♥ (I miss your art, lady. When will we see more?)
how tricky dark skin tones are with markers
IKR? It's a learning process, for sure. I also discovered that the deeper shades are lacking in the pinkish undertones that most skin tones have -- ended up overlaying her base "caribe cocoa" shade with bright-pink "blush," just to get some blood into her.
Art: Just when you think you've figured out a technique, along comes something new. :D
Sillie82's rat drawing is adorable! And your picture of Tamara is stunning! Her eyes are truly mesmerising. You absolutely captured her spirit and now I'm racking my brain for a way to include her RL counterpart in our collaboration just so you can draw her again! :D
Adorable rattie is truly adorable. :) And thank you so much for the wonderful comment about Tamara. Her eyes are truly striking (which is why I exaggerated them a bit), so I'm really glad you like them. ♥
