These have all been thoroughly saved, and loved. Also: Major brownie points for referencing Mystery Skulls.
Oh man, nothing like Arthur fan art to hype me right back up for the next animation. XD
OH WOW haha! You know about MSA too?? YEEEES. That was meant to be a joke since Oleander has this creepy arm that comes out of her book XD I enjoy crossovers and that seemed pretty perfect. Next video hype! So much to be hype for recently
aw thanks! If I sketch any more I'll be more than happy to post them here XD
Is Oleander supposed to be using Fred as a pillow, because if so, that is just hilarious! Also, really diggin' the art style man, they look really good even though they're incomplete.
Well you know sometimes your body is like "it's time to sleep" but your brain say "juuuust one more chapteeeeer please?" and the body is like "okay I think I can stay awake a bit longer" and then if give up in the middle of a paragraph and you woke up with words printed on your cheek... O MY GOD that's how Oleander's fur turned dark!
I'd argue that colorless is not the same as incomplete. An artist can absolutely make a sketched out and shaded piece and easily consider it complete. For quite a few artists, that's their job. For others, they just prefer it that way. One can absolutely have a preference for colored in art, but calling an uncolored work incomplete seems a little disrespectful imho. (though from what I've seen, I doubt Rhodes would have been too upset, if at all)
By all means! Feel free to color any of my sketches.I'd argue that colorless is not the same as incomplete.

However, you have given me an idea. I agree that I would like to see these fully colored... plus I've colored one of Rhode's works rather recently, and would like to get some more coloring practice in... Hey @Kressent Rhodes, would ya mind horribly if I took a crack at colorin' these as well? Or d'ya have something else in mind for 'em?
Edit: Also, if ya don't mind, it might be a good idea to edit yer OP to include your other regular haunts. That way people who like your stuff here canstalk you even more easilysee your other works from the source.
My bad. I didn't mean any disrespect to Rhodes, it's just that whenever I see a sketch done by an artist, I just assume that they're going to color it later on. Sorry if it came out as something other than awe at his art prowess.I'd argue that colorless is not the same as incomplete.

*cracks knuckles*
Like I said, I've seen Rhodes around the forums previously, I doubt she took much offence. Just helping ya understand the mindset of an artist. (two of my cousins and two of my longest friends are artists of varying degrees of dedication who I talk to on a regular/semi-regular basis, so I know a few things about the topic. XD)
oh wow! That turned out so nice! I look forward to seeing you develop your technique!
I'm also sorry that I said "HIS", I didn't check your profile page beforehand.
Well, this next coloration job shows pretty much exactly what I meant:
) However, for now, I have a more... fiery task ahead of me.
I spot ONE thing wrong with this picture... why ARE there NEVER ANY WORDS IN BOOKS!? At LEAST put some squiggles in there! <----Supposed to be taken as a joke.Okay... so remember when I said...

Can you spot the difference? I certainly can. I employed a more precise, and slightly more time consuming practice this time around, and I'm much happier with how it turned out. Smoother color transitions, less artifacts, and most evident... colored lines! Overall, I think it looks way more vivid than the previous one, and will certainly be refining the technique as I go. Now don't worry, Velvet enthusiasts, I'll go back and make her shine like she deserves before I take on the final project here. (until @Kressent Rhodes grants me more to work on, ofc.
P.S. It just occurred to me that I might unintentionally be stealing some of the spotlight here. The last thing I want to do is seem like I'm hogging the limelight, so if at any point you feel I'm overstepping my bounds, Rhodes, I'd be perfectly fine making my posts here more sparse, sending you the images privately for you to share here on your own terms, or even moving over to another thread, whatever you feel is necessary.
Keep in mind, that's not just any old book...I spot ONE thing wrong with this picture... why ARE there NEVER ANY WORDS IN BOOKS!? At LEAST put some squiggles in there! <----Supposed to be taken as a joke.
The horn.Keep in mind, that's not just any old book...
It's more likely that there are words there, just none that us mere mortals can see, let alone comprehend.
But now that you mention it, I did actually add some lines somewhere else. Brownie points if you can spot where.
Oh I'm sure we can see them, it's just that the artist did not include them to protect our feeble minds from the madness contained in the mere appearance of the words. Eldricht forces can probably leverage a simple squiggle to turn our brain to mush...
nah its totally cool. I really just wanted to put these up here for everyone to enjoy. Its pretty neat you actually want to color them. I really like what you did with the lines! It makes a difference!Okay... so remember when I said...

more often than not I think the artist just hopes your brain fills in the blanks and takes the opportunity to be a bit lazy. Especially if its just meant to be a small scribble and not like an elaborate piece.I spot ONE thing wrong with this picture... why ARE there NEVER ANY WORDS IN BOOKS!?

Fair enough.
Not exactly "character," but I'd like to see how you draw Honored Mother/Father.
I'd love to see some AZ in the near future. Some Ice Sprites would be cool too.
They're absolutely characters, I think the real issue is the fact that, afaik, they have no physical representation through official artwork, so they would rely more on artistic interpretation than they would resource gathering.
