Hedgies are fun to draw! They are so cute. Oh and I forgot to answer one of your questions from your previous post: yes, definietly, I'll add some scribbles on the pages to look like writing once I shade. And whiskers! :)

Let me know if anything needs to be tweaked and I will be happy to fix anything for you!
If everything looks okay, I have set up a trade for you to offer: Lot . After I accept, I will send you a larger, watermark-free version with a transparent background along with a smaller 200 x 200 version. :D

You're welcome. I would love to work with you again! :)
I have finished lining your character and I have also added some flat coloring:

Again, let me know if anything needs fixing and I can fix it right away. I know I changed the vest quite a bit from your ref so let me know if you'd prefer it to be more like your ref! :) If everything is all fine and dandy, I'll get straight to shading. :D

actually saving up monies right now, waiting for kozis overlay to be switched over at the moment...very excited...my hubby thought it was fantastic too...my next character might seem a bit complicated..even if I dont think so...but I will either give in and flail...or let you know when I feel I can do it.. XD

it looks really good so far! Im excited to see the end result
remember to ping your group when you get a new slot! I wait to order again :) and your overlay is up dances just letting you know!
[img align=right]https://i.imgur.com/lCJSVpA.gif[/img]
I'll definitely make sure to ping my group next time slots are open (I just hope it will work properly this time around, grr)! I am not planning on closing this shop anytime soon so will definitely look forward to working with you when you save up enough if you'd still be interested. :)
And, omg. I really love Kozi's profile so far (btw, I am in shock at her stats and treasure chest size, haha, way to go!)! :D
Btw, do you own any hedgies as pets? I showed my sister the overlay I did for you and then some real life pictures of hedgies and she almost died in cuteness overload and became interested in having one as a pet, lol :P
Hello! :D I apologize for the long wait, I have finished making some rough pencil sketches of your Valerian:
Let me know which pose you prefer (or if you'd rather try a different pose; that's okay too!) and any tweaks that need to be made and I will edit! :) Oh and I am aware that the fin on his left arm in the second sketch looks funny, lol; I will definitely edit that if you choose that pose! Otherwise, if everything looks okay, I will start digitally painting your work! ^^

well Im am ready whenever you are for the next overlay (have the monies, just waiting for a slot) and currently I dont have any hedgies, because I am full up with critters I have rescued and given a safe home too (they have issues and I have worked for years with difficult, abused, etc animals) to pass...I know a ton about them though (hedgies) and my hubby is planning on getting me one when Im ready (told him I want to be able to give it more attention but with so many other critters it wouldnt be fair) I have been around them though..and they are FANTASTIC...if you have any questions about them please ask! :D they are becoming very very popular!

It's no problem! 8) I really like second pose! I think it's the intense gaze or something that gets me LMAO.
I'd like to request a couple of relatively small changes, though!! Could there be a little protruding point on the top half his tail fin, like this? And could the two chunks of hair in his hair beads be a bit longer? I'm thinking just put the beads where those stands end currently, and then obviously adding the part after the beads, if that makes any sense (I'm terrible at explaining these things)!
Lastly (and this is pretty optional), is there any chance he could be smirking, even if it's just slightly? Otherwise, I love it, and I really can't wait to see him painted!
[edit] I TIHNK YOU PROBABLY ALREADY SAW THIS BUT IF YOU HAVEN'T I ACCIDENTALLY SAID SECOND AND I THINK I MEANT FIRST??? I COULD HAVE SWORN THIS ONE WAS THE SECOND ONE
I'd just thought I let you know if you've already started painting on the other one it's no big deal since I like both sketches anyways!!
Awesome! I'll probably open up slots again right when I finish the two commissions I am working on now. It's taking a while as I am also busy studying for the GRE but it shouldn't take too much longer now. That's so cool and very admirable that you work with animals in need. :) I understand waiting on getting a hedgie until you're ready, that's very smart and would be best for the hedgie! :D Hmm..I'll let you know if I have any questions. I can talk more with my sister to see her thoughts and everything on getting a hedgie!
Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, I already started painting the other sketch! :( I could try and make it more like the first if you want though. I hope this is okay!
This is what I have so far.
It is still very much a work in progress. Ignore his hair right now (I will make it longer!), and I will fix his tail fin so it looks more straight and with the protruding point and everything. And I'll add that arm fin. Oh and I'll add some markings on his torso like in your refs! And nipples. Definitely nipples.

Oh, it's totally fine! It was my mistake, not yours (and I didn't even notice for like TWO DAYS LMAO), so don't apologize!! 8) That looks so good so far, though!! I can't wait to see it finished! ; u ; He does look a liiiittle dark (or, at least his fishy parts do! His skin tone is fine!!), though, BUT I thought that might be because you may lay your darkest colors down first when painting, SO PLEASE IGNORE ME IF THAT'S THE CASE. 8)
ANYWHO, HE LOOKS SUPER RAD AND I CAN'T WAIT AHHH!! Thanks so much for updating me!! ❤️
@ sentinel
Awesome, I am glad you like it so far! :D I do tend to paint from darker to light, so the fishy parts should get lighter once I start working on them. So, no worries, haha.
@ Ezio
Sorry for the wait! I have finished drawing your character! :D

Sorry for the wait! I'm about to head off to vacation and then college so I've been busy packing mostly! AHHHH I LOVE IT. I absolutely love the texturing on his tail, and your ability to paint faces in particular is stunning! 8) I LOVE HIS HAIR TOO, IN FACE I LOVE EVERYTHING. I can't quiiiite tell on the preview, but it looks like his sclera are white, when they're actually black!! That might just be the highlights on his eyes that I'm seeing, though! If they're already black, just ignore me!
Since it's like the tiniest change (and might not even be one LMAO), I just sent the payment over! ❤️
No worries, haha :P Hope you have a good time at college! You probably will on vacation, lol.
Thank you SO MUCH! ❤ I received your payment. :) I did make his sclera dark but not completely black, so I went ahead and changed that for you. :)
Let me know if you want any other sizes (working size?), and I'll be more than happy to get that to you. He was a lot of fun to paint and it was nice working with you! :)
