Drawings from the ocean's edge

I always wanted to do a series of avatar cartoons, displaying different emotions, for my own LJ icons. But I never could pick an avatar for myself.

However, since oceansedge liked the avatar drawing I did for her, I decided to do the next best thing: avatars displaying different emotions for someone else. :)

    

    

I hope you like 'em, oceansedge. And if not, don't worry about offending me -- I had fun doing them. :)

Wow! Nice Work! :)

The faces look excellent when shrunk down, very nice use of the ears to capture emotion. Ears are highly indicative of emotion, but often overlooked because mobile ears are not human.

Nice Work!

Thank you! I've gotten better at conveying emotions over the years. I don't get as much practice as you do at it, obviously. :) And I cheated by humanizing her face a bit, too. Ears are fun to work with. On Sythyry, I used the height of zir crest to indicate emotion. Whiskers can be good too, if you draw in the whiskers. :)
