Wolf Girl Urarayumi -- A New Digital Painting by Wolfzol!

Image
  This charming portrait-cum-cityscape is one of our recent favorites by the talented Wolfzol .  We especially like the momentary quality of the scene and the pleasant drama that unfolds in only a fraction of a second as we pass by.  We risk a glance at the attractive form and alas, we have been caught looking!  The subject's sense of reverie gives way to shy acknowledgement as we meet the young lady's eyes.  We feel ourselves nodding and smiling, perhaps stammering a greeting before our destinies pull us apart.  It is likely that we will never see each other again, but there is always hope! It takes a real artist to imagine such an encounter.  And to translate it in terms of anthropomorphism is more impressive still. We forecast great things for Wolfzol and feel sure that we will be seeing more of his excellent work here at Hybrid!

Who Would Have Thought?

And I always thought plushies were soft.  Watch the Mega Plush films for a real stuffing everywhere hard core action film.  This is by Matt Burniston, and what a good concept well carried out that this is.   Sex... Violence... Action! Could this be the end of Mega Tiger? https://youtu.be/w1gkT667cJo?list=PLf13yI4Lxiklxv79Uc7nkQTCH6cr2SFjV Fight tyranny wherever it exists.  

Mice - A Small Story

Image
Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. It began with the forging of the Great Tabs.  For within these tabs was bound the strength and the will to govern each race. But they were all of them,.. deceived. For another tab was made. In secret the Dark Lord forged a master pop top, and into this tab he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life.  This is the one pop top tab. One Tab To Rule Them All. https://youtu.be/wOsb02uPOyw       The time will soon come when mice will shape the fortunes of all. https://discover.therookies.co/schools/isart-digital/  

The OC Universe

Image
  "The Circle of Stones works as a gateway, bringing entities from many universes randomly. It has been inactive for centuries, but a random event activated it again, attracting it's first target." Nina has been brought into this through the magic stone circle. Right now she's all alone, but what will happen next?   Nina : My OC, an anthro catgirl, a singer that is surviving by instinct and movie knowledge.   Nina explores a bit of this place and finds water. It's the 3rd day Nina that inhabits this land. She tries to build shelter without success, and explores a bit more. It's the 4th day, and Nina finally gets some company. It's for the best... right?    It's the 5th day.  Alucen discovers a bit about this world, but didn't found Nina. Alucen : OC from a demon with high strengh, speed, regeneration, and can generate bone spikes from his body. His powers are failing here.   It's the 6th day, when Nina and Alucen become friends, and things...

Modelling characters for Replication

Image
Modelling Shelagh the Roo: I have been meaning to show my research projects more on this blog~ Based on my research in this topic, I am improving my ability and understanding on how to model a character efficiently and effectively. Efficiently: The best way of drawing a character and replicating that same character design in multiple iterations, for example in animation or comics, time efficient and Effectively: The most recognisable features of a character, the identifiable parts that make that character unique and favourable, and how to draw these features in a way that the audience can identify instantly. (figure 1.) What is the most recognisable part of a character? Depending on the character design, this would normally be the face, and/or the eyes and mouth. This is the more relative part and as humans we recognise the eyes and mouth the fastest based on research.  (figure 2.) In figure 2, this page form the comic shows the protagonist, a replication of her original character ...
