Insomnia Paintingby *KMCStudio

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Animals

My dad let me borrow his laptop for the night. He should really stop doing that; I never get any sleep. xD

I was looking up painting tutorials and decided to try and mess with it a bit. I've never actually sat down and tried before, as I typically don't have that kind of patience. For some odd reason, whenever I do sit down and paint, it's always something potentially morbid. 8I I swear, I don't do it on purpose.

My goggie-type character, Insomnia, who is actually a Herdier/Mightyena hybrid, but for this, he's just a dog. Insomnia is named for his inability to sleep; he's got some paranoia issues that keep him from sleeping properly. The perfect character to draw when I can't seem to get sleep myself! 8D

(So no, he's not dying/dead. Just tired, basically. And not really fully sane. 8D)

So there are a lot of mistakes on this. But it was fun anyway. C:

...I think it's sleep-time now.

But late night spontaneous drawings are often the best drawings, yes?

I do really like the shading on this one, especially the eyes. They look kind of hollow and glossy, kind of glass.

Gorgeous, gorgeous painting, KMC. :3 I love the detail on the fur, as well as the colors you chose ... you did an awesome job with the technique here, I'd love to see more like this.

Thank you so much! <3 Really, doing fur (or really anything that involves varying strokes) in SAI is really relaxing for me, so I tend to go a bit overboard. xD;

very nice!
you definitely have a lot of talent for painting.. and I'm sure that, if you were to start painting more, you'd notice that you get a lot faster, quickly ^^

very nice lighting and choice of colours.

also, hooray, insomnia! as someone who suffers from insomnia, I feel like this is an accurate image.

cdiught, thank you! 8D I'm really looking forward to doing more things like this. c:

Insomnia suuuccks. D: Thanks for letting me know; I was sort of going off my experience with it, but there's always a bit of doubt that I'm not quite doing it right.

*Eicarus Nov 25, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Waaaooooo this is amazing ;u;
I really love those colours you used AND HIS EXPRESSION, like he's panicked himself into sever fatigue xD the shading too omg

his fur looks really nice too, all fuzzy and omg
do more of these yes. Wow

*KMCStudio Nov 25, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Yeah, the long story is basically that he's terrified of sleeping because bad things have happened in his past whenever he did, so he basically just ends up with random moments of collapse. Tortured characters are such fun. c'B

FUZZY YES. <33 These are surprisingly fun to do so yusyus. c'8

THANK YOU SYNCS. <33 CB
