:D I can't believe I actually did this! HA! Finnagan looks good in purple doesn't he? Check it out I DID SHADING!!! the apocalypse must be iminent everyone to your bomb shelters!
*cough* okay to get a little less exuberant I'll explain this. The hat belongs to Medi20's character Raven from her dreamworld comic series. I fell in love with Raven because he's a goof like Finnagan in many ways. This pic was inspired by medi20's recent pic : [link]
Finnagan is coyote and Raven and Coyote are naturally rivals so Finnagan would love to mess with Raven by stealing his hat. I asked Medi20 and she said it was cool to draw this.

Medi's really inspired me to new heights here so I decided to go all out with this one. Still THIS TOOK FOREVER and my hand hurts now after all that coloring. But I can't deny iwth the results as this is the most awesome thing I've done. EVER! I know there are still flaws but he looks awesome!

Anyway to the hat, the reason it's got curved edges is because I looked up top hats and found that they all have a curve to the sides (yes I used a reference for that hat). If you want to argue it we can say Finnagan bent it. :evillaugh: The band has raven's name on it because I wanted to make it clear this is Raven's hat. The purple tux is because Finnagan has a costume fetish so if he wears that hat he HAD to wear the matching tux. I do apologize for the sucky background I didn't know what to put there.

Finnagan: (quoting from Men in Black) "You know the difference between me and you? I make this look good!" :lol:

comment please!!

OMG NICE!!!! :XD: Haha, Finnagan looks GREAT wearing Raven's hat! And the tuxedo isn't bad, either :eyes: Great job with the shading, too! For a first attempt, this is great! I remember when I first started shading my pictures; they were awful. xD But yours looks a LOT better than my first attempts, lol!

XD horray! I'm glad you like it. I wouldn't have been able to do such a great job shading if I hadn't been using your pic for reference. Thanks for the fave too XD

:hug: Aw, you're very welcome! Since I've been reading Dreamworld, I've turned into a HUGE Raven Swiftwing fan and now fangirl over anything that has to do with him. Or his hat being stolen X3

XD I drew this because I became a raven fan too. That and Raven makes me think of Finnagan who is also a jokester. X3 Horray for all of Raven's fan girls! XD

Well, I very much love it! LOL I became a Raven fan because I have this sick and twisted love for male characters that are open about being perverts (just not pedos but he's an exception). X3

:iconraven-swiftwing: RAVEN FANS UNITE!!!!! :iconraven-swiftwing:

Nice job on the cell shading and the facial expression. He looks devious. :D

Raise the hat up some, it's a little too close to his eyes. That's also contributing to a bit of a clutter / cramp feeling in that space where you've got hair, eyes and the brim of the hat. Give that some more space by raising the hat. And with the character being Coyote, I might even have him wear it cocked a little to the side.

I would recommend slightly fewer spikes on the hair. I figure it's supposed to be "messy" hair (based on what I know of the Coyote myths), but with too many spikes, it ends up actually looking like deliberate spikes (like punk-rocker). You'll get more of that messy-hair look by giving it a few curves that lead into a handful of shorter points. And bring the hair down a little further in the back so you can see more of it behind the jaw.

Last thing -- find a reference for the tux, just to straighten up the lines of the lapels at the top.

Again, great job on the facial expression and the cell shading. :D

Ah maybe that was what looked wrong about the hat. Heh well I'll keep that in mind next time. I actually DID have a reference for the tux but I guess I didn't do a very good job. ^^;

I often describe Finnagan as having messy tangled hair but I have to admit I like doing the punk spike look a lot more. I'll experiment and see which one I like better. :D

I'm probably talking back too much for a critique but I AM taking the ideas to heart. Obviously I didn't look at my reference very well at all.

Thank you so much for this and I'm glad you liked my cell shading. This is actually my first attempt ever. I'm also glad the expresion worked out as I never know where to place those stupid eyebrows. XP

Anyway thanks X 10 hundred million!!! :glomp: :hug:
