Sketch Gelert

Post by Joeno »

Now how's that for random? It's a Sketch Gelert!

All poses


Not exactly the most creative of pets, but I don't think this is too bad considering the limitations you've got when drawing a sketch pet...

Mmmkay. I like how you can see the tail through the body.

You know, I've never understood why gelerts and pteri have square eyes.

I like it :0) But then I like gelerts and I like sketch pets, and I think blue looks especially good with gelerts. So what's not to like?

It has a nice balance of sketchyness and construction lines, and seeing the tail through the body is a great touch.

I love gelerts and I love sketch. Therefore, I quite like this. :3

I think the blue may be a *bit* too harsh, but I like in nontheless. n_n Yay random new gelert colour!

Well . . . it's a sketch Gelert alright.

I don't care for sketch at all, but I suppose this is fine as sketch pets go.

Meh.

The angry and sad poses don't quite match the rest :? They're a darker blue, with thicker lines. Other than that, I think it's a decent pet. Nicely sketchy.

Maybe they should use a different color for each Sketch species.
Not that I would care more about them if they did, but just to make it like the Jelly pets.

Looks a bit more "lively" than the usual gelerts, somehow. Something about the set of the mouth. It's ok. I'm not hot on sketch pets generally.

The Gelert is sketched quite nicely, by the way.

The blue actually makes sense though. Certain shades of blue don't show up at all on certain kinds of copiers, so it's not unheard of for someone who is having a picture printed to sketch it in blue. I forget which of my how-to-draw books says this, but I'm not pulling this one out of thin air....

How to Draw Manga, Vol 1: Compiling Characters p25 wrote: . . . Blue lead pencls and mechanical pencils are both very convenient. Blue does not show up when printed; therefore, cartoonists use it to specify tone to their assistants, and or to show where tone is needed, where there is no shade or drawing.
(Black and white comics are usually shaded with transparent stickers called "screentone" that you trim to fit the area you need. These stickers have little black dots in various densities and patterns to simulate shading and textures. Though nowdays it's becomming popular to tone on computers, but many still tone the traditional way.) Here's an example of some photoshop paintbrushes that are designed to look like screentones if you want to see what kind of patterns there are.

People keep saying this but I don't get it.

If you mean this:

then it's not through, it's just in front of the body:

If you mean something else then I am lost.

Gelert Day is on Monday so it's not too random ;) Hopefully the other colour will be more exciting and the gelerts won't get screwed like the wockies did on their day. Oh yeah, I'm still bitter ¬_¬

The colour itself is actually really nice for a sketch pet. I think I still prefer the wocky style of sketch pet with the really faint lines but the gelert is a handsome pet so it pulls it off well.

I just really hope the other colour is exciting like darigan or tyrannian or something, I like gelerts =)

Oh, hm. I guess for some reason I thought it was supposed to be behind the body. I didn't compare it to the normal Gelerts.

Or how about that mutant gelert they've still got sitting on the servers? I wants the mutant gelert to be released already! D:
