Description
Okay so is took me a while but I think I'm getting the hang of backgrounds and clouds, I might add more escape pods and maybe even the skylark back there when I get an idea of what it looks like
This picture came to mind when I was thinking "Wonder what all the monsters were doing when they saw hundreds of pods falling down to Cradle?" So I drew what one of those monsters was doing.... Stargazing! It's not quite as detailed as I would like but I'll fix it later on X3This picture here is a widdle gift for Hope you like it!

Because the pod landed on the gremlin, so that's why King Tinky hates the spiral knights.

I don't really like anthros but if they are, then you make them in a very special way. I will watch you from now on, just for these little guys. It doesn't transmit anything bad.
Awesome, It's a looooong time since I pressed the watch button, probably the rarest thing I do here, it takes quite a lot for me to do it, and you as well as you little creatures really deserve attention. Thank you for doing them.

Thanks dude, means a lot ^w^ gremlins are fun to draw!
I'm guessing you try to avoid what is know as "furry" not specifically anthropomorphic characters, don't worry I don't make that kind of stuff >w<

Hi
No, I mean anthropomorphic creatures in general, their sense is to spiritually represent things but apparently, they don't, not anymore.
Yes, that's the first reason for which I don't like anthros, but people misunderstood personification in general, and things like anthro dragons for instance don't make any sense (for some people, the human body can represent everything... what the?!). I'm strictly talking about the typical human body with a dragon head, because many people draw creatures that walk in two legs and call them anthros, but they are not really... That's the majority of people, but in my eyes, not even your gremlins look like anthros... there are a few details that actually make the difference, like, even the way he is sitting, the flexibility of his back (if you wanted him to really be an anthro, than for me at least, it's not so sorry about that... It's just me, I always find reasons to avoid calling a creature I like, anthro, lol) People rarely see ways of personification like you do, a way to really make a simply unique and beautiful creature feel like it has a personalitty and is capable of feelings... No, they have to draw a human body with whatever head, and call it a creature. They are so blind they can't see more than that, and will prefer to lose sense and value (not in money) in order to do their thing, and due to the fact that people like this usually represent nothing, they have felt even more into the abyss, and made those creatures become victims of dirty sexual acts, gore and whatever those "artists" think that will attract people's attention.
Back to dragons, they were created by us as a mythical creature to represent the most powerful spirit. That spirit is not ours, if we had to imagine such a creature to represent it, and even if anthros do genuinely represent a spiritual connection, in a dragon's case, it just doesn't work that way. Dragons already represent that spirit, but what's different from wolves for instance (there are lots of anthro wolves) is that, wolves were created by nature, they are true creatures, and nature does allow us to bond spiritually with it's creations, while dragons were created by us, and we don't allow such things, due to selfishness and other factors. Even more, you cannot have two bodies representing one spirit, so even if we have to chose, our ancestors already chose : dragons.
So anthro dragons don't make any sense, and in my eyes they are an insult addressed to dragons, dragons are a lot more than that. People oftenly use the example of the movie "dragonheart" where draco shared his heart with that prince, and say "it's fantasy so anything is possible" well not really, nature is the same everywhere so what is impossible here, is impossible there as well, and we know that. Fantasy needs to make sense, and as a matter of fact, even if that prince had half of draco's heart, he didn't grow wings or scales, or spit fire did he? now that's some fantasy with sense. Energy interchange is possible in nature so there you have it.
I know that movie, it is my favourite movie....
Anyway, these were just dragons, but there are many other things which were understood wrong by the majority, and it is so delightful when I get to see works like yours, where things just seem to make sense, and if there is talent too, it is even better.
You got it all in my opinion, as you don't really follow anything known to be wrong regarding the art of fantasy. You use your own imagination to create your art, and you really do express yourself through it. Congratulations, that is some achievement!
Take care.

Wow this is one of the most in depth comments I have ever received here on DA, thank you so much for taking the time, in fact I didn't reply quickly because I was trying to have a proper response. Well basically I do use "anthro" characters to represent certain things or people, for example in high school I would identify people as different animals, occasionally if a person really stuck out I draw them as said animal. I use them as representational.
I like the movie dragon heart, I saw it in spanish though when I was littler >w<
I'm sorry my response isn't as in depth are yours, if you ever want me to sketch you up a gift send me a note of what you would like ^w^

Hey, don't worry about it, it's just that, when I say something I also have to justify it. I can't just say I don't like green stones if I don't say why, can I?
That's a proper way to use them, but you are a good artist, while other people won't just stop here... thay will blow general sense away and go into extremes, calling it "talent". The fact that you can combine a few lines together doesn't mean talent, talent is meant to be improved and those people seem to literally be stuck and repeat the same thing over and over.
Anthros, as I've learned by one of the proper anthro artists here, are supposed to represent a spiritual connection, or a spirit itself. Many kinds of spiritual changes can happen to one man, and we can use everything that makes sense to represent it. In the anthro field, anthro fantasy creatures, easpecially dragons, are exceptions, because anthro dragons don't generally make any sense at all, and I explained why in the other comment.
This is obviously just in theory. People will not consider sense when it comes to their well being, they will smash anything to get to pleasure and money...
I saw Dragonheart in 1996 when I was 4 yrs old...
Don't worry, you don't have to apologize, you have left a comment which comprises everything that was necessary to give it a sense, I understood it.
A gift art for just a comment? Oh don't bother, It's too much. Or if you still do want to do something then do whatever you want, I will anyway respond back with a painting as well
