Gift for Tempest

[Koshizu]

Waaagh, typical I'd get Mr Tempest to draw for!

Anyhows, here is my secret santa gift for the blue blur himself - I tried a different approach to my usual boring shading and drawing, this time watercolouring the entire piece!
It was only afterwards I realized I made a huge faux pas...I'm really sorry I got your tail wrong, Tempest! I only caught on after I was 90% done, and as much as I tried to correct it, it was so difficult as it was all coloured on one layer...I hope you don't mind having a normal Yoshi tail for xmas! : (

The story is, him being the 'weatherman' (harhar ;P) it is his xmas duty to hop from cloud to cloud with his Tetra Gavel, bashing out all the snow he can...

Merry Xmas Tempest, and happy holidays to you all!

Whoa, that's so wicked looking! I bet Ian would spazz out over this picture! Really nicely done! ^^ Very awesome how this is a complete value-only drawing. 'Tis some unique stuff right there.

And personally, I liked how you made the tail like that. Makes the whole thing look a lot cuter.

[Graedius]

Yes, I detect an oncoming hernia from Tempest when he gets on, heh. ^^;

I like the lack of outlines -- it gives a very distinct, real-media looking style.

[Enrique]

Whoa. Incoming REALLY cute picture. I really like the "no-lines" approach that you made in this picture. Tempest will love it for sure!

[sui]

Wowies, this is gigacute. I mean, seriously gigacute. o_o And that normal Yoshi tail has just made him more gigacuter, honestly.

He's surely going to love this piece of art, because the pure awesomeness is just lighting in this picture.

(You and your übernice drawings, aaa D: )

[Koshizu]

Thank you, thank you...I know the proportions may also look a little off, but thats due to me not used to painting. I'll upload the sketch if he wants as well, hahah.

[Leoshi]

Wow, Very cute! The new coloring tecqunique(sp?) does look very well done here! I'm sure Tempest will like this pic alot, very well done!

[Tempest]

*spazzes out and has a hernia* Holy crap! When I saw your name with Tempest as your Santee, I was like "Aw, no way!" That's too funny, because I kept bothering you about your Secret Santa, lmoa.

WOW. This picture, there are no words! It's so colorful and cheerful, and I don't mind at all that he has a normal tail! Like they asid, it makes the whole thing so much cuter. Wowwwwww - I LOVE THAT TETRA GAVEL. And the pink clouds and blue mountains make it look like.. I dunno, I can't explain it. Just like.. a happy fantasy land thats very .. wintery. Dude - no lineart looks amazing the way you do it! AGGGH I LOVE THIS!!! KOSHIZU, YOU'RE AMAZING!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Merry Christmas!

I love that this is lineless. Makes the picture cuter in my opinion. I love the use of purple in this picture. It's simply beautiful.

[Yin]

Ohmigosh! That so cute! I really like the coloring, the texture of the clouds, the lighting, if I keep going you're gonna get bored of me talking. What I trying to say is:
THIS PIC ROCKS!

That's cool!It's chibi (sort of..) I like chibi.

[Yoshifrog]

Aww, thats so cute! ^^ I love your style Koshizu, great job!

[Teo]

Wow, that looks like something taken right out of a dream...did you have a vision while doing this?

[Koshizu]

Thanks for all the comments guys!

A vision? Hmm...not entirely, but I was influenced a fair portion by a level in the game Spyro: Year of the Dragon...its called Cloud Spires, if anyone knows of it. I think that level is particularly pleasing with the colours in the sky and such, so I used it as a heavy reference for this colour scheme. That, and I'm just a sucker for pastels, pink & purples, heheh. ;P

[Dragon]

Ack! So late getting to a computer! That drawing is adorable Koshi! Wow, I love it, you're really talented with your art! That's really, wow, nice job doesn't say it very well. XD Anyhoo, I hope you have a great Christmas Koshi!

[Zippy]

Very cute pic! I love the colors and the soft feel to the pic. This pic is fantastic. Awesome Work Koshizu!

[Anjil]

Awr, that's so cute! The colors remind me of cotton candy or of some other pastel-colored sweet. XD
I really like the lack of outllines. Makes it look really soft and dream-like.

[Daxxe]

Wooohoho. Gorgeous workzzay as usual. With Now... like iftz turned everything into pillowstyled marzipan =DD. Tempest lookzzies as the thundergod Tor dependin that he also weared that hammer to shoot the lightningzzis with but in a yoshis body instead. Hmm, but, ho would those goatzzies ho pulled Tors sledge stand 4 instead actually XD?

But how did ya do that? Ma'm, ya know. I completey adore how yárr so extremely good 2 draw with any perspectives anglezzis which exist. (Well, completely straightzzay from below haven't i seen yet, but that wouldn't b any challenge, would it XD?) It's so totally cleane drawed with susha' sloped angle from above. i really like it. Yummy colourzzies also and expression

[roshie]
