Quick Indrik sketch

SickleCider

I decided to do an indrik (from memory) as a warmup sketch this morning. I thought some of you here might like to see it.

Wow this is awesome! The fact that you did this from memory makes it even more impressive. Thanks so much for sharing your art with us @Versispellis

That would be fun to see realized in the game engine.

This is great! I love the angle of the legs and how it makes the pic look dynamic instantly. I used to draw too when I had more time on my hands, and I could only ever do poses like that when looking at templates or models for reference. That you drew this from memory is really impressive!

Thank you very much! Well, allow me to let you in on a secret. I drew the indrik's design from memory, but I did have a little photograph of a caribou in the corner of the canvas to look at, so I had some general guideline for the pose and anatomy. I kind of abstracted that and added a little canine in there, because, bark bark bark. I hope you find the time and motivation to get back into drawing! It's been a struggle for me, too. This is actually the first thing I've drawn in months. But, now more than ever perhaps, it's important that we nurture our creative pursuits, isn't it?

Yes, absolutely! I always like to see how people express themselves artistically (in all ways, shapes and forms), and I did think about seriously getting back into it more than once. It's just a bit hard to find a long enough stretch of time to really sit down and draw something when you have a little kid that wants your attention as well. But the one good thing about the situation right now is that my husband is working solely from home office at least until the end of the month, meaning he gets to spend more time with his son (and I have a bit more time for myself ). So, yeah... maybe I'll really give it a shot again. Thank you for your words, it's good to have a nice conversation here once in a while that doesn't have anything to do with the game's performance or anything like that

They say every dark cloud has a silver lining, and you seem to have found yours. If you have a really hard time getting back into it, don't feel badly about it, too. Nurturing our pursuits is important, but nurturing ourselves is even more vital right now! I wish you and yours the best.

You're right, it is nice not to bicker about stuff on here. I think people on games forums lose the forest for the trees. We all do it. I find myself doing it a lot, too. But, you know, it is what it is, and it isn't that bad, otherwise none of us would be here, yeah?

Gosh, I sound so maudlin. LOL
