| I've been meaning to draw a picture of Nildro Hain from FurryMUCK
for some time. This sketch is kind of cute, apart from the fact that it doesn't
really look much like how I see her in my head. :/ I've always had the same problem
with Raster too. I think I know what they look like in my head, but then when I
try to draw them I think, "That ain't it." Maybe it's something about
bunnies. :D
|
| Another idea for Nildro Hain, which still doesn't look anything like
her. :D
|
|
| Not bad bunny piccies, but they still don't look like Nildro Hain.
|
| I rather like this picture, but (you guessed it) it still doesn't
resemble Nildro Hain in the least.
|
|
| Although these still don't look like her, they're an improvement.
The less anthropomorphic head suits her better.
|
| Nildro Hain says she should look more like Peter Rabbit's mother,
which is rather the way I picture her in my head, too. I guess I'd better get
some references and give it a try. Attempting to draw like Beatrix Potter is
a pretty tall order, but even the attempt should help improve my skills. :D

|
| The other night in the burrow, Nildro Hain was talking about her German
heritage. Later, while chatting with HillBluffer on IM, I got a mental image of
Nildro dressed up like the St. Pauli girl, or one of the beer servers at the Munich
Oktoberfest.
Here are my first efforts at the concept -- too toony, and just plain ugly. Nildro
is supposed to look more like a Beatrix Potter bunny than a Warner Brothers one.

|
| Ah, much better. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what I was
doing wrong. It turns out that the key trick was pushing the eyes out to the side of the
skull. Anyhow, here's Nildro Hain, in a traditional drindl, serving up some mugs of
German beer. :)
