Cherry and Uma

Description

The lovely Cherry and her dear pet Uma, short for Ursa Major.

I'm not quite sure what Uma is, exactly. His smaller "form" Ursa Minor, a.k.a. Umi, is a sort of bear cub with horns. I was inspired by the behemoths of Final Fantasy fame (you can see it there), and wanted to draw something similar. I got the horns, bulking muscle, and the little goatee on his chin. And those are fangs popping out his abnormally short muzzle; I can't quite explain the exact reasonings behind Uma's details. I was thinking of adding a bow tie or a bell-n-collar combo, but decided against it because of the chin hairs. He also doesn't have a tail, I was debating whether to give him one or not, considering his main components are that of the mighty bear and powerful gorilla (you can see it there). And then of course there's the random spiky hair, gotta have the spiky hair, yo'.

I had a bit of fun drawing this, utilizing the variety between a mechanical pencil and a #2, one for lines and the other for shading. I think I did a pretty decent job with this.

As for Cherry, she's similar to her most recent picture, except I hiked up her dress a bit to show off some heeled boots (I was inspired by Dorothy in "Oz: the Manga" by David Hutchison). She also has a large butterfly clip pinning the hair to the back of her head; looks a bit off, that and I forgot to give her curly bangs and horns. Oh well, next time.

I was a bit relieved, of all things, to draw this. It's been a while since I've uploaded anything reminiscent of my sketches, and this piece has brought me back to the days when I could draw like a second nature. Time to continue with it. Huzzah. *zleeps*
