I wanted to post this to DeviantART, but my Russian ISP has been having problems viewing the site lately. I hope this problem can be resolved, or I won't be able to use DA at all until June. At least I still have Photobucket. img.photobucket.com/albums/v502/Epesi/Dog.pngHis design may change, but I think I'm happy with it. I came up with him specifically to use in Darkness if and when that gets going again; I've been rereading the roleplay from the beginning to refresh my memory and draw inspiration, and this guy was a result of that. ^^ He's a dog from Kenai's village, born a few months before the start of the movie. He's a bit overeager, none too bright, and tends to draw unwanted attention to Kenai as a bear by calling him Master. I haven't thought of a name for him yet; for moment I'll call him Mr. Ears. XD This picture is entirely digital, drawn on my trusty tablet. ^^ I can see some anatomy and perspective issues with Mr. Ears himself -- I think his front legs are too short, for one -- but it was a relatively quick drawing, mostly just to see what he'd look like in color, so I'm not too picky. I'm actually pretty pleased with the background, except for the bushes. I fail at shrubbery. XD

looks at picture, . Your really talented Epesi. I can't even dream of doing something like that yet. I've some of your other pieces on DA they look great, I can't seem to see any flaws in them when I look, but I know that as an artist your worst critic is sometimes yourself. Sometime I need to start work on my drawing skills again. .

Wow, it's wonderful! I like the bright colors you used, and how it is SO close to being considered cartoon-style! ^_^ And, truthfully, I agree with Remmus. I didn't notice any flaws in the picture at all! Even the ones you listed on the forum. I like it above! The name is cute too! Your a wonderful artist, Epesi! ;D - Little preacher man. ^_^

Oo I love this character- great design (I like he looks like the dog that bites Denahi, yet at the same time not a clone) and idea for his personality. I wish I could draw as well as you. ^^ Ah Darkness- I'd love to see that one running again. I miss playing in it (and, having also been scanning my own past posts to complete a list of my characters and seeing how bad some of them were, would like to imrpove my writing ^^"). Mr. Ears sounds like he'd fun to play around with. P.S. This is a bit of topic, but do you have a pic of Savik's design? I have a picture I've been working on her with her in it. ^^

Thanks for your comments, guys! I'm really flattered by your compliments. :3 Remmus - yeah, that's very true; we are our own toughest critics. ^^; There's always some detail (usually several, in fact) that just nags at me, even if most people don't see it. The same thing happens if I play the guitar in front of an audience; my teacher back home advised me not to worry too much about making mistakes in a performance, because chances are good that the audience won't even notice it unless you panic. That's good advice, but much easier said than done. XD EP - Ooh, you're drawing Savik? I can't wait to see! Yes, I do have a recent picture of her that I can post. I've always had a hard time pinning down her design, and I'm still experimenting on a few points (mostly to do with figuring out how a sabertooth should look in the Brother Bear style), but any further changes I make at this point would be subtle. I'll post that next. ^^ Heh, I cringed more than once at some of my old posts. ^^;; Sometimes I got a bit carried away with flowery prose, and now even I don't know what I was trying to say anymore. XD I also feel I made Kenai and Koda act out of character at certain points. I'd like to strive for improvement as well. :3

Eep, sorry for taking so long to reply. Yep although it's not too far along yet. ^^" Yeah I think my posts were a little purple-prosey too ^^- it also hurts how OOC my characters would go and ack the dialgoue- I was terrible at it.
