FAC Sam mascot by luckylace222

Description

If you guys didn't already know, FAC is starting to choose a new mascot for the site. The old cat is getting a little boring, so we are making an improved version of the pherel in addition to bringing back the human mascot that accompanied the cat a long time ago named Sam. Here is the link for more information if you want to submit your own suggestions of ideas for the new mascots:

This project is NOT a contest! D; So don't draw something and hope to get something in return. I did this for fun and because I love this site so much that I would SPEND 18 HOURS drawing something for it. ;__; *eyes bleeding* I think I'll take a nap soon, and then after that, I'll take a deep breath and do some of my long-awaited homework. Winter break is more stressful than actual school days!

P; They said the pictures had to be feature quality. I don't know...does this kind of picture look like it could pop up in the Featured category? The mascot didn't need that fancy of a background, so is the pose and style of the picture feature quality? UGGHHH my lack of sleep kills me!!!!

*dies*

Oh. And enjoy! Sorry I didn't make a Christmas picture; I was working on this!- HAHAHHAHA-*hit*

That's a cool design. But, I really want to know, how do you make the picture so it's that shape? I can't figure out how to make a file that's anything other than a rectangle or a square. Like if I'm drawing something, and I want part of it to hang off the side of the picture, how do I do that? (if you know what I mean)
Thank you!

luckylace222 on June 25, 2012, 8:09:20 AM

Thanks for the comment, and I know what you mean!

They are called transparent backgrounds (it took me a bit to learn about them as well). They are a special type of background where, on png and gif files (there are more supportive image files, but I cannot remember them; I mainly use png), hey pop up "invisible" showing he background of the website instead of white.

I understand you have PS, so this is possible.

Tell me if you have any difficulties!

Thank you so much!!!

God that's so good!

manga_cat_girl on June 2, 2010, 5:53:31 PM

This is absolutely wonderfull! I adore how you did the coloring, it's simply put amazing! :D

VictoriaZepeda on February 1, 2010, 3:20:43 AM

Nice!!!!

Tinner1214 on January 31, 2010, 12:06:17 PM

Very, very nice.

aeris7dragon on January 28, 2010, 4:00:11 AM

Oohh, shiny!!!!!!! XD

Animeviolingirl on January 23, 2010, 1:07:12 PM

Awesome ^_^

Figment on January 12, 2010, 12:56:12 PM

Damn you sure as hell got better.

Fantastic picture, a bit creepy in my opinion, but great, unbelievable coloring job.

(If you recall Ages-Ageshero or Ages_thescarfedhero) take a guess.

luckylace222 on January 14, 2010, 4:10:12 AM

Did you delete those accounts? I can't seem to remember you, and there's no record of those accounts. ]; Awww...

But thank-you very much! I LOVE YOUR USERNAME. Seriously, sometimes I get tempted to make a new account JUST so I can make a username like that. Something simple but it means a lot you know?

Once again, thanks!

xxXShadowWolfXxx on January 10, 2010, 6:27:34 AM

This should get picked. That's all I can say.

Awesome! I really like how you shade and stuff. X3

luckylace222 on January 12, 2010, 9:53:49 AM

Oh thank-you! On this picture, I actually tried a different shading method to make it look like a "realistic-anime" style. ;/ I'm still working with getting my art style to look less kiddy when it needs to.

Thanks again!

CRwixey on January 8, 2010, 9:29:09 AM

Looks really cool to me! ^^

I don't remember them saying these pics had to be feature quality, but it makes sense, what with it being up on the site for everyone to see...

Christiane on January 3, 2010, 5:16:32 AM

Very cool artwork, well done!

chichirifan92 on January 2, 2010, 2:09:22 PM

FABULOUS!!!! i hope you get picked!!!! This just screams "FEATURE PIC"

Pocky_PixieSticks_Anime on December 31, 2009, 12:44:29 PM

looks really cool, kinda like a pirate or Team Aqua member (>.> *total Pokemon geek*). beautiful and awesome. =^_^= *gives pocky and pixie sticks*

luckylace222 on January 2, 2010, 11:20:23 AM

No no! You're actually right! 8D I originally was going to make her a pirate but I didn't want it to stray too much from the FAC theme. >; And it DOES look like those Aqua people from Pokemon! The cat is her pokemon. He comes out of the Pokeball and bites someone's ear off, then goes back inside.

Thank-you so much for the comment!

qazqaz1 on December 31, 2009, 3:42:02 PM

I thought it was a pirate. good job, and happy new year!

CrystalKnight on December 30, 2009, 11:32:47 AM

"They said the pictures had to be feature quality."
The original one certainly looked horrible!

but I get a piratey feel from her, awesome! =3

aeris7dragon on December 29, 2009, 10:58:35 AM

This can be your Christmas present to FAC!!! It's certainly awesome enough!!! XD

scooter_girl_Haruko on December 28, 2009, 9:47:20 PM

I want this one to be chosen!!! >_< this is very good work~~

Rubius on December 27, 2009, 11:41:40 AM

This is great Buu...I hope she gets picked. ^-^

luckylace222 on December 28, 2009, 6:48:33 AM

D; It will never be picked! ;__; NEVER!!!! ;P LOL JK- thank-you so much Rubius! Hope you're having a good Winter Break!

Rubius on December 28, 2009, 12:14:20 PM

I hope it gets picked too...

I wish I was having a good Winter Break, but between the 2 blizzards, (and if I hear one word about the good weather in Florida, no Remi pics for you) the family-less Christmas, the piles of housework, and the online drama, I'm just exhausted.

ZeroMidnight on December 28, 2009, 10:50:55 AM

Wow! That's GORGEOUS! Especially that fantastic color.
I had no idea they were looking for a new mascot pic.
I like all your entries, and that realistic cat is awesome! ^-^

TotalWeirdo666 on December 27, 2009, 10:44:48 AM

cloot

rlkitten on December 27, 2009, 8:24:30 AM

"win" i.e. Choose this and stuck it up there instead of that kinda odd gray cat...

rlkitten on December 27, 2009, 8:23:26 AM

That's awesome! I don't care if they want horizontal- you should win >:P

Ishida16 on December 26, 2009, 2:54:49 PM

so this is just your idea of what the mascot should ne? Hey how come every time i spend the night at a friends house you submit art and i view it at like 1 in the morning XD!!!! I like the bandana hat with fac on it and the pose is pretty good too... I think this could definetly be in a featured thingie!!!! Night luvs you!!!

luckylace222 on December 27, 2009, 4:09:45 AM

GO TO SLEEP!

Oh wait, it's the morning.

GO TO SLEEP ANYWAYS!

Ishida16 on December 27, 2009, 7:41:09 AM

but i want to look at your artwork!!!!!! its like my drugs!! im just addicted and i hae to see more MORE *eats doughnuts*

Prodigies on December 26, 2009, 4:42:31 PM

...all I have to say is...

...you better win...

...because this is beautiful...

luckylace222 on December 27, 2009, 4:09:11 AM

]; Unfortunately, they wanted a horizontal pose more than a vertical one, so they won't use this one probably! But I'm so happy I made the picture and gave suggestions, because then I was able to discover this new way of shading! ;]

-Which takes forever but the result is pretty cool.

;P Thank-you so much Jessie! You should try different shading techniques one day and tell me how it turns out!

miknart on December 26, 2009, 11:13:03 PM

Looks awesome luckylace ;D ♥, & everything she's bluee but I love it 8D ♥.

WH2007 on December 26, 2009, 3:04:26 PM

In my opinion, it definetly is a picture of feature quality. Good job!

lashanta22 on December 26, 2009, 2:58:44 PM

ohh wow!!! thaat is so neat!! i love the ik coming out of her stick that she is holding and i love the bright blue colors.

Tuntun422 on December 26, 2009, 2:42:46 PM

Wow,very hip.
Say,just to let you know I sign up on deviant art.com not too long ago so if you also want to see some of my art feel free to check it out.

Although I do go under a different screen name on there.I'll be posting some new drawing on here as well as there though it's taking longer then I thought.

Well,happy X-mas.

Falconlobo on December 26, 2009, 1:51:48 PM
