Roses Are Red

Posted Jan 13, 2017, 9:17:00 PM UTC

Seems like all the pieces I get done real fast are half bodies, which is odd, since usually the character in a piece isn't what takes most of the time. I decided to draw one of my kiddos cause I'm done with all the art trades that I owe people and now just need to wait on my halves. Anyways, here's a piece of one of my babs, being a flirty dork as he always is. This is probably his reaction to hearing that red roses are a human sign of romance, so of course he'd find a dried rose (since a fresh one would wilt pretty fast) to tote around. I was inspired to make this piece because of how a dried rose I have looks like a pipe, which I thought was an interesting aesthetic. His colors came out pretty good here, and the picture overall.
Art and character belong to me. Don't steal.

      Thanks! It would be pretty funny to see how this guy reacted to Valentines, lol. I may or may not be making a picture of that now.

    I don't know if I'd be endeared or a little bit freaked out to meet a dragon toting a rose around in his teeth. :p The pipe-shaped stem is definitely aesthetically interesting, regardless! And the background clouds are quite pretty.

      Reactions would rely on who the person is, for sure, though I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have to worry if it was this guy you met! And thanks~ I'm pretty good at clouds, though it had been a while since I've drawn any, besides in Waking To Snow, so I was working through some rust.

        Well you're shaping up pretty well, for being out of practice.

          Thank you~ It's a lot easier to get back to where you've been than it is to get to new places- well, most of the time, that is.
