hiimben Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Yeah, there's that or Polar bear. What with the positive reviews from friends about my Eagle avatar. I decided to continue the idea with a new animal. Without further adieu, Say hello to my little friend. Rate/Hate/C/C appreciated :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remoteman Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Hello ben's little friend. Looks cool, cudly, although some big teeth would be cool :P More detail in the eyes, looks like eye sockets, i know they don't have white eyes, but still. The part inside the ear is meant to be the colour of their skin, and i'm pretty sure polar bears/pandas don't have black skin. :anxious: Lookin good though, well done.

hiimben Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 Thanks Remote, I used this Pic as a reference. That explains the eyes and ears I think :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripsis Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Aww it's so cute and cuddley Great job :) To add on to what remoteman was saying, maybe either: -Draw the whites in the eyes (basically white eyes with a black pupil). -Draw a white glare in the eyes. Just so they don't look so entirely black :P - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryomancer Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 i'm pretty sure polar bears/pandas don't have black skin. Actually polar bears do have black skin, to absorb as much heat as possible, we cant see it because the fur reflects the snow and sky and makes them look white. I like it btw.

hiimben Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 Thanks everyone, I might make the eyes a lighter shade of black and add the glare in the eyes. Along with the ears...except the glare. Keep the thoughts coming :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel104 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I wouldn't know how to do it but maybe you could givwe the bear a bit more of a bear texture, looks like plastic. dark shadow has some really good examples of how to do fur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiimben Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 I'll give that a shot sometime soon. Any other thoughts :?: :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remoteman Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 A polar bear's nose and skin are black and the fur is translucent despite its apparent white hue. It can appear yellowish brown as they age. The black skin is designed to absorb heat from the sun, keeping the animal warm even in the coldest weather. The fur is good camouflage as well as insulation. Stiff hairs grow on the soles of its paws; these insulate and provide traction on ice. I beg your parden, they do have black skin, thats coool.

Actually im pretty sure they do have dark skin. im pretty sure thats already been mentioned.. (and yes its correct, they have black skin) ontopic; as said before, the bears fur dosnt look like fur. i hope you dont mind but i played with it a bit. a basic rule i made for myself when doing animals with long fur like this (bears, tigers, lions, etc) is dont dither if you dither, you get a smooth looking surface, and animals with long fur certainly dont have a smooth surface. if you zoom in on my edit you'll see how i randomly added darker 'lines' in the direction which the fur would seem to flow, making it appear more three dimensional. this was only a quick edit, but you should be able to see what i mean i also changed the colout of the nose, ears and eyes Featuring in my sig: TURT, ma pet turdle!

hiimben Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 Thanks for the help :P How you've done it kinda messes up the texture of the polar bear. But I'm taking your advice and giving it a shot, Hows this :?: :-k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remoteman Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 A bunch of triangles aint look good. Dark Shadow's looks realistic, do it like she's done it. The eyes look much better now though. And Fearspudgod try reading the whole post and you'll see i corrected myself like 3 hours before you posted. EDIT: sorry dark shadow, i new you were a girl, slipped my mind lol, no offense intended.

dark_shadow Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 no offense taken ontopic; i didnt mean for you to do the fur texture as triangles, to be honest, it looks really fake and weird... and i dont like it. if you dont like it the way i did either, just play around with it for a while...

hiimben Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 Albinos have red eyes ;) Hehe, the title was just to make people interested. It's a Polar bear. Thanks everyone, but I think the lines to make the texture take away from the picture :( I know it seems that I'm turning away C/C but I appreciate it. How Darkshadow has done it is awesome, but it's not really the look I'm going for. Thank for the help everyone and I'll be posting a new pixel here shortly. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
