Artist's Comments

Badru is an OC, who belongs to :iconlover-of-the-drow:

I promised her a long time ago (I guess it´s been longer than a year) I´d paint one of her characters. And after much delay and during a random inspirational week this is what I came up with.

I like this particular character a lot. He´s got a bit of a sad story, but he pulls through really well and is strong and independant :) You can read more about him and her other characters in this journal post: [link]

He wasn´t so easy to paint though, I had the hardest time making his legs look convincing (respect to all you anthro artists). And hands have NEVER been my forte. So sorry if it looks awkward. Other than that, I´m pretty happy with this :D

I hope you like this, *lover-of-the-Drow

Time Taken: 11 hours? Something like that
Medium: Corel Painter Essentials 2, Wacom Intuos 2 and this tutorial for the anatomy: [link]

P.S.: I seriously hope there´s no one out there who watches my Scraps gallery... And if people are, I promise to come back to dA soon and get back to painting my creatures. This dry-spell´s lasted for way too long. :paranoid:

P.P.S: If you´re wondering why Badru´s holding out his left hand like that, it was supposed to be him holding a human for scaling purposes. Titans are incredibly tall, so I thought it´d be nifty to get a good idea of his actual size. However, I couldn´t really manage, so now it´s just a fancy pose :D

OMG!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!! *glomps a million times* He is absolutely wonderful! *Snuggles into his hand happily*
I finally figured out the scaling for a Titan/Human.
a 10/1 ratio. We'd be like a 6 inch doll to them. ^^ So we'd be about the size of his hand <3

I'm going to TAKE OVER THE WORL - Oooh! was that a butterfly???

If in doubt, POKE IT!!!
*poke* :poke:

Did you know.. that when you smell, look at, or pick a flower, you're sniffing, staring at, and ripping off a plant's genitals???
:iconzorro9:

Thanks, dear :)

I´ve been busy, but good. Ever so sorry for up and disappearing on you (and everyone else for that matter). This is definitely not the first time and I seem to be doing this every half year or so :( Whenever I go completely frustrated with a painting I tend to want to get away from painting alltogether and I slowly start drifting away from dA too. I hate it when I do that. But, I think it´s high time I show my face around again ^^;

I have been keeping an eye on your gallery tho in the mean time and I think someone´s improving leaps and bounds ;)
:icontifa22:
You're back, yay! :iconweekenddanceplz:
Wow, he looks cool B-)

Pure Awesomeness.
Wonderful avatar by =MixedMilkChOcOlate :aww:
:iconvyrilien:
Phew, that's a HUGE relief ^^; I'm so glad you like him :hug: :heart:

Oh, I like that scale! Actually I was wondering what happened to your older drawing of Badru. I couldn't seem to find it in your gallery when I was looking around for more reference material :P I liked that one.
:iconigriel:
He is kinda cute - nice drawing ^^ i hope i also gather my creativity and start drawing again :D
:iconmudkipblader:
Woah! You're back! :glomptackle: And with such a pretty pricture at that. :3
I really like how you did the entire colourscheme in greyschale and the little hint of yellow just on top of his head.
The mix of human and animal worked out really well. I have respect for people who can make it look natural. (b'';)b
It's a very good one. ^_^ You should draw more humans, you're good a at them. ^_^
