senoritafishTwo works-in-progress that I need to get my butt in gear and get finished....
This the one my co-worker at work asked for as a gift for her new granddaughter. At first she said a cowgirl, them emailed me later and said I could throw a fish in there if I liked. This got me thinking about that old Disney cartoon with Pecos Bill andSluefoot Sue, where she comes riding down the Rio Grande riding a giantcatfish. I guess this would be her as a little girl. I'm planning on coloring the catfish like a red-tail catfish, the ones you commonly see at public aquariums.
I've got that thing with fitting the whole thing on the page going on again; didn't have room for the fish's tail, and the top of her head wound up spreading onto the facing page (pieced it together and added extra space after I scanned it). I don't draw people very often, sodoes she look totally off or what? I still don't know what to charge;maybe I'll just make it a gift.
I thought I'd do a gift art for someone who got a certain pageview, just to motivate myself. The person who got it is an Inuyasha fic writer who has her own huge following. My initial offer was to draw a fish, so I suggested for her, since Inuyasha is a dog-demon, I would try drawing him as a dog-fish! She liked that idea. So here's my start on him.
Still need to get them both cleaned up, colored, and finished.

Date: 2006-04-13 04:10 am (UTC)What might be bothering your eye is the fact the leg closest to us needs to be foreshortened and moved so it looks like it is wrapped around the catfish's side. Of course, you could change the position so it is the one being kicked up so the other one turns into the one holding on to the barrel of the fish, or you can kick both up.
Get one of your chibis to pose for you for a moment and look at how their legs work when wrapped around something they are riding. Take some photos of them to reference if you need to, then you will see what I am talking about.
If you want me to shoot some pics for you and show you what I mean, email me to let me know. I don't have the 'email comments to me' option turned on for any of my ljs.
