Royalboy Ixi

Post by solarith »

Yeah. I was bored and decided to draw something for Ixi Day Art Gallery. A Royalboy Ixi ended up appearing. And since I have more of a chance getting in if the picture has a background ...

Anyone have any suggestions as to what sort of background would go well with him? :)

Also comments/crits are fine, too.

If he doesn't get in the ixi day art gallery I'll eat my shoe. Terrific draw, shading, expression.. no faults whatsoever.

I either see him in the some old library or in the castle, eyeing some busty ixi girl painting ;)

That's lovely :)

As for a background, I would say a simple stone archway? You could use it to give the picture depth and perspective but without cluttering the image?

Thanks guys. :D I asked around elsewhere too and someone suggested a portrait type thing. Kept trying several things, but finally settled on the portrait frame.

Turned out alright, I think:

Aww, so cute.

I like the way you did his nose/mouth, so many people can't get that bit right when they're drawing Ixis. It's well done.

And I love all his little swirls, especially the beard. The beard is my favourite part of the whole thing.
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

Portrait frame was a good idea! I like how he's not a full out, straight legged, completely humanized anthro - more just he decided one day to walk upright and put clothes on. He's so damn smug looking. :) Great job all around.
