Izyl's features look more upright and streamlined, as his feet and thighs aren't as large compared to his whole body. His nose is also shorter, and his back is straighter. I rather like the subtle changes, because added together they make a noticeable difference. And it's a good difference!
Kougo overall looks about the same to me, but his outfit might be different. I don't know if it changed, but either way, love those pin-striped pants. Also, I think it's the coloring, but he has this really soft, smooth look that is really appealing. :3

Also, I think it's the coloring, but he has this really soft, smooth look that is really appealing. :3 Thanks for the comments! Yeah, one thing I wanted to keep in mind was to fix Izyl's anatomy... partially because there was one comic where I wanted him to be sitting in a chair, but the leg proportions were so messed up that he could only stand. So I worked it in to the story (even if it is a bit hard to tell he's standing at that table) and now it's a plot point that he's got an arrow to the knee <_< In any case, I still might have to play around a bit with the mane, because I liked the way it looked before and didn't feel like matching it in that short time frame. :/ Kougo's outfit did change a little bit--from a Brown Suit Jacket to an AAA Host Jacket, and Lupe Chef Trousers instead of the old Khaki Trousers. As for the coloring, it's probably from the blue glow effect I put on the border (playing with post-processing, woooo). Fun fact: he's another one that I had major trouble getting to take interesting poses like sitting or grabbing something those shoulders ugh because Lupe proportions are in no way comparable to real dog proportions and he was like the third character I modeled so there was still a lot of rigging weirdness, most of which is fixed now (hence the reason he can actually sit properly). He can also open his mouth towards the back for the first time, and comparing side-by-side, yowza, original Kougo looked weird.

Wooo, long time since anything new, innit? Sadly, this is not news on anything new, but to say that "December" is now more likely "May" and that's still in the water especially since the NT is out of commission for now. But the point: with the uncertain fate of the NT at the moment, I've backed up all the Ventures comics with some commentary here on my dA for your perusal, so feel free to take a look if you're so inclined.

Gosh, yeah, sorry folks, I completely dropped doing any original art. There is this pretty cool SVG-based imp thing I just finished for an Inkscape assignment for my vector graphics elective, though? Maybe it's cool enough to warrant the thread revive? (any deviation from standard musical notation is probably intentional. because devil imp thing entails deviations) (...also, if the professor happens to do reverse image search and Google can find this forum, congratulations on finding me online)

Definitely cool! When I venture into that scary place best described as "art" I tend to do so with vector art, more specifically with Inkscape, but have not got the skills to make anything quite so fancy and polished as your pic there! So I guess that all combines to give me an extra few levels of appreciation for what I would've enjoyed as nice art anyway Also Coaster's professor, if you do find your way here, her Australian friend says hi, and she totally deserves a good mark for that piece of work, wouldn't you agree?

Reviving this thread (after years, oof) to mention that I finally managed to get into the Art Gallery for the first time! (which was very welcome after having missed out on the Random Contest that I also spent a lot of time on but at least may be able to repurpose for Grundo Day) www.neopets.com/art/picview.phtml?req=2021-02-13_468_0072548001613213658.jpgMight add a higher-resolution render at some point, or just show what the full coat of rainbow paint looks like, because I went a bit overboard on it.

More comics! I'll try showing them off here ahead of time and then submit the whole batch later since each of these seems to take at least a month to make. (I've got a few ready but it'll be a while before the whole arc is finished) I also swear this arc isn't pure self-indulgence and does have its share of twists and plot threads to work through, but I do aim to get some outright LGBT+ Rep™ out there in the process, so be ye warned.
