Howdy! Constructive critic is still the best critic. It gives me much time and chances to think about the drawings or to compare my thoughts to the meanings of the others.
Yeah, I noticed the different arm sizes when I was already shading and detailing the fur. I couldn't erase it because it's nearly impossible to erase on bristol board - would have destroyed the thing, actually. A perfect picture would be boring, I thought and just let it be. lol
And yeah, I took references but only from my own drawing I submitted earlier. It was the picture with the elf girl and the wolf with the weird paw. I didn't like it very much and wanted to do a newer version of him with a similar pose. I'm sure there are many versions like this on the world, that's why I actually avoid drawing wolf anthros. It's going to be banal and ends up in a world of copies, which I actually find embarrassing. But hey, I'm still searching for the innovative style, which isn't found yet.
Thanks anyway.
The next pictures are about a species group on which design I work at since ages. For the subspecies, I finally found the design, which will last to the end of my days. For the main species Cutis Cataractas, there is still much to do.
The first two drawings are done with coloured pencils, at which I used one colour for each picture. I didn't find a better description for that, so I just called it mono-coloured drawing. Here, I was trying out new designs of which I'm not very pleased with yet because the faces are still too human.
The other two drawings were done with Photoshop. The first was actually a design for a tadpole, which turned out to an embryo-like-creature with a jelly-fish skirt. It's one of my most favourites because it has a very strong meaning to me and I really enjoyed working on it.
Second picture was a face and head design of the subspecies Parvus Scolopendras, on which I laid the attention to the back side of the head, which is transparent. There are many important organs bound in this bag of transparent membranes. It's still too human like for me, though.
A good thing of this picture is, and that was a big surprise for me, moderators on Elfwood chose it as pick-of-the-day, which was displayed on the main page of this platform for one day. What a honour.
Hope you enjoy!
And now I need to have a look at the other's dude gallery to look for that wolf pic. meh
