Title: Looking back
Post by: TheLeet on May 16, 2013, 09:58:39 AM
Do any of you remember the Porcelain I used to run on PonyIsland?

I coloured a custom Feli for Ryuu recently and looking through all the references there was also an old Porcelain version of her character. I hadn't looked at the lines for such a long time it was quite a shock to see how different it looked to the kind of stuff I draw now. Anyway, that has inspired me to re-draw the female Porcelain lines just to see how different they'll look. It only took me about an hour. :D

I feel like I've made a lot of progress since then and am pretty pleased with myself right now. To be fair, it's not that much progress considering how long it's been. XD

I've always loved them, and the new one looks amazing! Your art had definately improved over the years :) Does this mean they might make a comeback here?

I don't remember these.. but I love the new version, she looks quite regal!

As another note on "old lines"  I was doing a google search the other day, forget for what exactly, and in some of the image search results there were LeetKats!  Those I do remember and miss, seeing them made me smile.  but it was really odd for them to show up in that search, I couldn't figure out how they related at all to what I searched for O.o

Thanks for all the comments ^_^

I miss the L33tKats too, they were my first ever adoptable and I just love kitties anyway. I'm not planning to bring either of them back, though. Two different adoptables is pretty much the limit to what I can manage without feeling too overwhelmed. Otherwise I would >.<

I think the Prancers must have been someone else's as I don't remember them. :)

I got a few LeetKats and Porcelains back on PI and I still have them! ^_^ I love them!

This revamped female Porcelain is beautiful! While I love the 'chibi' look of the original, the new version looks like much better proportions and you can really tell the fur texture is there.

I wouldn't want Leet to give up Noms or Feli, but I do miss the cute Porcelains! lol

You certainly weren't bad before, but I can see definite improvement in your skills with the redo.  You have a better command of animal anatomy now - more refined shapes & better shading. :)
