Timeskip Herrington gift art

An alternate design for Herrington where they're older and some sort of gang boss or something. I still don't really know.

This one was an art trade with TFOTR back in 2011. I really love the colors on this one. I remember the artist asking if Herrington was a boy or a girl. Yes.

Art by Lightshelter, done for either an art trade or DA gift exchange, also in 2011.

Things I miss about my art in 2011

 A snapshot of my art style in 2011. I will be writing about characteristics I want to preserve or bring back.

• Notable characteristics

• Blurry overlay to create an ethereal effect

• Soft blurry shading

• Drawing

• Thin linework to accentuate softness

• Crisp outlines

• Color and shading

• Pastel colors

• A relatively narrow range of hues

• High contrast shading used sparingly

• Colors flow together to create a soft, ethereal feel

• Hair: Fine strands

I like the fact that it's both crisp and blurry at the same time. I struggle with deciding to give things definition or to leave it vague. This is an interesting solution, especially for the art I like to draw. I enjoy the ambiguity.

Love the pastel colors on this one. Minimal shading and very subtle gradients. Also, kitty~ This would be a good reference point if I ever get back into cel-shading (this was specifically cel shaded for a charity commission event)

This was an entry for a coloring contest on Deviantart hosted by the user Gasara. I have always liked how her midriff coloring came out. The coloring is soft, blurry, and ethereal, but still crisp enough to have definition. I really want to bring this coloring style back.

In a world where owls were domesticated. Like cats but they can fly!
