Again. Staff, feel free to remove my previous threads.
So far I have one amazing image to show you. Stunning selection of artwork, huh?
My first true artwork made in Fire Alpaca!
...I'm still furious with it XD Red's anatomy, especially her maw, ear, and that leg, annoys me and could have been drawn better. Where is her rear leg?? No idea how that happened o-o
One thing Fire Alpaca keeps doing that is seriously annoying me is the fact it basically does whatever it feels like with the colors. You probably can't tell, but Red is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too vivid in this! She looks like an apple! ;-; I am RedlightWolf, not RedappleWolf!
Granted, I did use a technique to make the scene more sunset-y by making a new layer over everything, coloring it all red, and making that layer slightly transparent. But not enough to make her look like a cherry! This usually happens when I add her markings and then blur them. The color kinda "morphs" and grows darker and vivider. It annoys me because Red Lightning looks even more neonthan she already is.
Hmm. This drawing was originally going to be Velveteen, then I went to Red, then back to Velveteen, back to Red, finally decided it was going to be Velveteen, then FINALLY decided it would be Red and added some older (and more Red-like,) features XD I could do that because they're very similar build-wise.
This is a kinda Out Of Character pose/moment for Red Lightning. I wasn't really paying absolute attention to exactly what I was making and next thing I knew Red was all emo o-o Well, at least now I've adjusted her character to where it isn't SO Out Of Character for her >:3
I also had several music sources when I drew this. Often I'll use one or multiple songs to enhance the mood I need to make a certain picture.
Here are some songs I listened to, just to name a few. It took me two days to make this:
Alone Without You by The Nightwatchman.
If Everyone Cared by Nickelback.
If Today Was Your Last Day by Nickelback.
Zombie by The Cranberries.
Whispers In The Dark by Skillet.
Shadow Of The Day by Linkin Park.
Hurricane by Thirty Seconds to Mars.
In The Shadows by The Rasmus.
Is that just me or do those songs kinda go everywhere mood-wise? o-o Maybe that's why everything is kinda...blah, with it XD
Let me take a moment of your time to say I am actually pretty happy with those stars.

...
Yes. I just drew a delphox.
...And I am serIOUSLY HAPPY WITH HOW THIS CAME OUT.
You see, to be completely honest,
I SUCK AT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING HUMAN.
So by drawing this human-like Pokemon, and SUCCESSFULLY DOING SO,
I am a very happy Red.
Anyways, why did I draw a Pokemon, you ask?
i.i I like Pokemon now. And Delphox is DEFINITELY my favorite. No question. Fire and Psychic are two of my favorite types--
Stay on topic, Red!
This is basically what happens at night when you're listening to Skrillex and want to play Pokemon o.o
The song behind this picture is "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites," by Skrillex.
REDLIGHT IS OUT.
Cake I swear I am still working on my part of that trade.

DARN YOU CLOUDALPACA AND YOUR STUPID STUPID WHITE BACKGROUNDS.
TRUCKING SON OF A BIRCH TREE.
;~; Still looks halfway decent, anyway. Considering the fact I haven't made a full-body wolf in FOREVER.
Grah. Anatomy derps. At least her colors aren't warped anymore! :'D Scroll up and compare her colors here with Red Appling.
Oh, and I would've added more elderly features, but this was actually made for something on dA and she was made a lot younger ^^
In other news, I've more-or-less finalized her realistic form. There is another colored version of this lineart with Red if she were an actual Iberian Wolf. I think I did pretty well in the area of making her color scheme fit with the rest of my gang of PmC wolves, as well as keeping her unique yet still showing she's related.

Wolf mother, where you been?
You look so worn, so thin
You're a taker, devil's maker
Let me hear you sing, hey ya hey ya
Wolf father, at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter, shapeshifter
Let me see you run, hey ya hey ya
Holy light, oh, guard the night, oh keep the spirits strong
Watch you grow, child of wolf
Keep holdin' on
When I run through the deep dark forest long after this begun
Where the sun would set, trees were dead and the rivers were none
And I hope for a trace to lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound, there was only me and my disgrace
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Ya.

Let me see you run, hey ya hey ya
Wayward winds, the voice that sings of a forgotten land
See it fall, child of wolf
Lend a mending hand

Hmm?
Ohhai.
Here
Have a Redlight.
She's very aggressive so you'll have to keep her chained most of the time.
*Casually walks away.*
Uh, in all seriousness, I drew Red again! XD This time I'm pretty happy with it! For once! Crazy, right? It isn't perfect, but it's better than most.
I need to think up a story for this-- I've already decided she's in GIPS territory. Probably off ranting to herself.
Oh, and I tried to add some phasing/grayed fur to her. It ended up making her head look overly highlighted and it did something weird to her facial markings o-e
I'm never going to be able to draw my own character properly, am I.
More to be added...

CakeWolfy.
CAKE LOOK WHAT I DID.
CAKE BE PROUD OF ME CAKE.
CAKE ARE YOU PROUD.
I MADE THIS FOR YOU.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHA
HAhahAHAHAHA
I LOVE YOU ALL.
*Sobs*
...Yeeeah, now that I've gotten that out of my system, onto the actual description!
I spent F O R E V E R on this.
FOREVER.
More time than I should have anyways. The actual image here took my typical time length of two days or so, but the art trade itself took a billion years. I was starting to think PmC would be released before I finished this up! >:I
I had about maybe...eleven different linearts made for this? Yes, eleven, I think. Nine of them were made in a style where I tried to copy stocks. The other two were failed attempts at my normal style. I felt uncomfortable using the nine of those and none of them were what I was looking for, and the other two were just downright fails. I never got past drawing the head, if that says anything on how fail they were.
Then I had a sudden burst of inspiration and made this!
On a very, VERY bright side, I found a new, awesome alternative to blurring markings! Remember above, when I drew Red Apple Lightning and I kept complaining that the blur tool on FireAlpaca made her colors morph and become more vivid? Well, the finger tool doesn't do that! I made the finger tool very tiny then went around her marks and made tiny etches ;u; Gives a more natural, fluffy appearance, and NO COLOR MORPH! :'D Hear that, Red? You're not an apple anymore!
Hahahah, now--
WHAT.
FFFF
I FORGOT TO ERASE THE DARK SHADING AROUND HER HEAD ;-;
JUST PRETEND I DIDN'T SAY THAT.
YOU SAW NOTHING.
NOTHING.
...i.i
Okay, now, where was I? Oh right. My music inspiration.
It changed terribly throughout the drawing.
I somehow went from "All Around Me" by Flyleaf,
To "Cinema," A Capella cover by Mike Tompkins.
...And somehow that worked XD
Just a note, her silver chest/back markings ARE there, they are just hard to see because of the lightning and shading ;u;
Her body looks like a fluffy rectangle.
Song inspiration is "All Around Me" by Flyleaf. But "Cinema" by Skrillex, covered by Mike Tompkins, gives just as strong a feeling.

and I know new art programs are hard to use, put you will get use to it eventually! One of my favorite parts of this pic is the sunset 
(P.S. red's colors don't look bad at all)
