this has to be the best rendition of Red XIII/Nanaki I've seen

omg right?!

Totally agree! So fluffy!!!

Haha, thank you! ;u;

Agree. This is SO STUNNING!
Red XIII is so COOL! I love the colors.

so freaking badass!!!!!

Thanks! c:

Thanks again. :D Can't tell you how much I love it.

You're most welcome! Sorry for taking a few days to get it posted! XD

Amazing work! (And I love the alternate title! XD)

Thank you!

At work I do a lot of puns and alternate titles... perhaps I should start doing that with commissioned work too, haha. XD

This is incredible.

Thank you!

Oh beautiful work!

Thanks! :D

Oh, it's finally been released! Glorious as always, well done. Loved watching the stream for this.

Yeah, I was a bit slow in getting it submitted! Thank you very much. c:

Gods be damned... that color pallet and transition is skilled.

Thank you! I got a ton of great advice in the livestream. I think can't remember if it was damie-m or stigmata who recommended adding some red flowers in random places, but boy were they correct. :B

Well there are a lot of those pictures out there for sure. You just have to know where to look, you know? ;)

Yup, it seems to be my mission in life. ;) And oops I even forgot one of my favorites!

I agree! I love seeing Red XIII more often (if I could draw fanart all day I could! It's a lot of fun). It's rare to find someone so dedicated to a cause as Robbo. :D

There are a couple of pics by the awesome  yell0w_f0x of Nanaki as an Anthro - wearing clothes, even. I have to say it looks good on him.

Stunning!

Danke! :D

Thank you~

This is great! I love the way you've used saturation and tone to control the focal point. Also the way you've used the light from his tail to tie his colour in with the background colours.
I wish I understood colour and tone half this well.

Thanks very much!

You're putting words to something I can't explain very well, haha... you know your stuff! If you haven't already, I highly recommend checking out kuler... you can even upload paintings with their tools to sort of figure out how things click, so it's a great learning tool. Doing master studies for color/value never hurt either... grey is used a lot more than I would think. :0

Oh hey, thanks! Bookmarking that! I've seen sites like it, but probably none that nice, or with the feature to reverse engineer images. That's really awesome. I'm not nearly as confident in my coloured work as I'd like to be, and the vast majority of people commission me for sketches. I'm looking forward to trying this out when I get the chance though. :)

Lovely work

Thanks!

This is extraordinarily beautiful. Truly wonderful. I don't have enough good words for this!

_{WHAT U DOING HERE COMMENTING, NAMBROTH?}

Thank you so much! ;u; I think it was the perfect storm of enjoying the character and getting some pretty sweet advice when I was streaming. Extra sets of eyes are always goooood.

Fantastic composition and color work.

Thank you!

It's so rare when a piece forces me to stop and stare at it for a long, long time.

I'm flattered! I always love finding pieces that pull me in like that. c:

Your work always inspires me. Thank you for sharing it :D

I have to comment on this. I HAVE TO.
ITS NANAKI OH MY GOD THIS IS BEAUTIFUL *spasms*

Thank you! He definitely needs more fanart! I have one more commission to do for robbo, so this definitely isn't the last Red XIII fanart you'll see from me. :D

Brilliant! Can't wait to see more!

So serene, beautiful work!

Thank you! c:

Gorgeous!

Thanks :D

This is a damned good pic of Nanaki, and you are an awesome person for doing it.

Thank you! Props to robbo for commissioning me to do it, though! ;)

!!! :3 Nanaki! This image is absolutely beautiful~ I nearly had a fangirl moment when I saw this in my submission collection. One of my favorite characters! :D

He's one of mine too! Thanks so much. :D

My brain just went: This. This is me, a creature of the jungle. This is my home, and you are merely a visitor.

Awesome work!

Thank you! I think that's a good way to put it... he looks like he's at home (although he doesn't blend as well as he probably hopes, with his tail and all). ;)

Jaw-dropping awesome.

Thank you! c:

What program did you use for this?

The thumbnails (on tumblr) were pencil/marker, but the sketch and above were all done in Photoshop CS6. :)

Yes yes yes yes yes.

My eyes could follow these surface allllll day!

Better hope you brought your escape rope! <8)

This painting doesn't even have any Zubats.

This is stunning.

Thanks, bb! ;u;

Daaaaang! ♥

:D <3

Breath taking

Thanks! c:

This is fantastic. I don't suppose you have a wallpaper sized version by chance? Really amazing work.

Isn't this wallpaper-size already? It's actually too big for my laptop screen, haha. ;)

Oh yeah it's close enough that I set it as my desktop anyway, haha. My screen is 1920x1080 so its slightly bigger than the image, but nothing major. Thanks for responding! <3

(And thank you! I appreciate it.) :D

Any chance that you will be selling prints? This is by far one of the best Nanaki pictures out there.

Thank you! I might sell a few prints the next time I go to a furry con (which is likely next year)... copyrighted characters are a bit tricky. In low runs I don't think it'd be much of an issue, though. :)

awesome stuff XD

Glorious!

Crikeybeans you do gorgeous work.

works cannot express just how beautifully amazing this came out.

Best artwork I've seen in a last few years for sure.

Would make a great desktop image

Excellent work - you're one of my favourite professional-quality renderers. I love your colour balance and depth perception.

fantastic work !!!

so beautiful！the color is amazing! i want to try~

Hey bb!
I wasn't sure if you read your comments at dA, so I figured, I would just comment here <3

I really, really love this picture!
Your way of drawing things is unique and just simply awesome, I love it everytime!
Also the scenery is great, and the character fits really well into it x3

And it makes a good desktop background <3 (Hope you don't mind <3)

Hope you are doing great

Arguably the best Nanaki I've seen anywhere. Easily better than the abomination he made him in the film.

This is a really great picture, loved Nanaki back from VII and he is still one of my favorite Characters <3

I wish I could favorite more than once . . .

Gosh I love the composition in this!

Oh wow this is amazing!

I know what my new wallpaper is!

Very beautiful

I'm seriously just so in love with pretty much every aspect of this piece; the way you controlled that value contrast to silhouette Red so beautifully against that pale green/yellow haze makes him stand out in the best possible way-- and those colors. GUH. THE COLORS. Red and green is a hard scheme to pull off without looking like some kind of twisty Christmas callback, but you did it super beautifully. And then there's the awesome design interpretation of his design in a more natural slant. And those luscious oily paint strokes that are so rich on a digital canvas. And uh. And everything. I'm a massive fan of both you and how beautifully this piece came out (and your others too); just OH MAN AAAH SUCH GORGEOUS NOSTALGIC FANART.

Pretty much one of the greatest RedXIII pics I've ever seen.
I love the mood and soft drawing/coloring-style.

These can't be

Nanaki is the first creature who i learn that i like animalistic characters :) I am a big fan of him and in real i have also the sign on my shoulder as he :) this is a absolut fantastic picture :3

This is a great piece of work, impressive. The colors, shading, composition... Everything! I enjoyed it.

My God, your coloring technique are always amazing! I wish i could at least copy your style for a little bit XD but it looks like it's very hard to do!

Spectacular work. :D

Yeah, that's probably where he went after the credits rolled...

Really nice work, love the detail !!

I can't handle this epicness

Prefect Desktop Background :) Thanks so much Red is my Favorittales FF character of all time. I really wish they put more animals in RPGs
My second animal in a RPG is the Roos in Ys and Third would be the Ors of Tales of Legendia

Sexy and stunning.... I'm blown away.

Computer is atm plugged to a big tv-screen, so seeing the pic full screen is darn awesome. Those details are gorgeous!

Absolutely stunning! The detail is insane and I can tell you had a good time working on this because it shows through in the work. Excellent piece. <3

I loved Nanaki. He deserved more time spent on him and his character than he ultimately got in the final game. A small blemish on what is still a masterpiece of a game. Ah well, he got his own novella so I guess I can't complain too much.
The art itself is very well done, I love the detail you put into the BG. Just gorgeous all around.

Looks awesome . I love the landscape

Simply Amazing.

So pretty

Amazing.

Mannn the way you use colors is beauutifullll and the brushstrokes and /touches everything and gets finger-grime on it all from artgasm

Don't forget to grab the Typhon (Typoon) materia! :P

Very nice, I like how you draw the charakter ^^

I love Nanaki. He is just so cool.

Just....absolutely stunning,

Oh my gosh this is amazing!!!!!!!

The moment I saw the thumbnail I SO KNEW it was Red XIII. Recognize that guy anywhere. :D

I love the way you paint and use colors, beautiful piece all around!

How you do it to draw these beautiful backgrounds? C':

Oh wow, best RedXIII ever!

Love Red XIII/Nanaki off of FF7.~

Beautiful Pic.
I love the faded as well as the focused detail.
Gorgeous.

Beautifully atmospheric. I love the triangles in those trees.

Ahh, this is so beautiful!!

Beautiful scene here :)

I wish so badly, so very very badly that I could work in colour like that one day ; ^ ;
Freakin gorgous

This is gorgeous!

Beautiful!! The scenery detail is stunning!

C'mon centra! Keep saying that you to everyone xD It seems too much

Red XIII!
This is gorgeous!!

I can't even handle how perfect this is

Oh man, i love this!

Definitely getting something like this from you in the future, if you're open!

Really love the color contrast on this piece!

It's way too beautiful! <3
