Rick Rat [Secret Santa]by *Heyriel

Anthro / Digital Media / Painting & Airbrushing / Animals

_{My part of the Secret Santa held at #SecretSanta2012-DE, for ~RatteMacchiato who wished for his character Rick Rat!

Comments are very much appreciated!

Tbh, I'm very dissadisfied with the colors, since, upon starting, I was still operating under the misconception that coloring a greyscale painting is a valid option -but let me tell you: It is not. Filed under: Another lesson learned. BUT(!!!) this also shows that shitty colors cannot completely destroy an drawing in which the values are (mainly) correct and consistent. A big triple-WHOOP to that! _{And big thanks goes out to *Olessan, without whom I probably would just have left it as it was xD}
Making the initial painting, however, was incredibly fun and gawd...I love painting (anthro) so damn much. -I may be doing some 'master studies' (`balaa, *CoyoteMange and the like) to try out other, more detailed, styles of painting fur and then there's still all those gifts to do. For after the those are done, there's also another big painting with lots of background already sketched out -let's just hope I'll be able to cram all that into the Christmas Holidays
