Description
This is the lineart to a new character i have been working on. I have decided to start designing characters around rare animals or rare color variations to animals. This guy is based off of the King Cheetah. The king cheetah is a beautiful animal, this is what they look like: [link]His name is Keng, which is pronounced like fang but with a K. He weilds a jumbiya which is a dagger of middle eastern descent, cheetahs were once common in the middle east until hunted out of the area. I will have more info on this character once he is finished.
I have already invited several friends to create their own character inspired by a rare animal or color variation. The only rules are that they must still be human, and their weapon/weapons have to make sense with the animal in mind. I chose a dagger because of its speed and elegance like that of a cheetah. It would be awesome to see more people start up designing their rare animal characters. So feel free

Thanks autumn, i did get a chance to learn a lot from drawing bootcamp. It really helped me a lot. Now that i know real proportions pretty well i can exaggerate them much better.

He stands like a boxer with his guard down....does that have any pull on his fighting style or did you just draw him like that because it looked cool?

I wanted him to stand on his toes because it makes him more agile ya know

It doesnt hurt to try right?

For me, to attempt art = epicfailplz. >< I draw what I think might be within my grasp, and even that doesn't turn out right. If I had the program I have at school, or if I could draw well at all in general, I would try and fail a little bit less. But I don't, so I sit back, watching in awe, and praise those who do have the talent, such as yourself.

Me, a defeatist? Pshaw. XD Sorry if I sound terrible. Bad days are commonplace among the pessimists. I have had a bad day. I'll probably be in a better mood after my interning job tomorrow evening. I'll spread the word, if nothing else.

π: 0 β©: 1
Yesh~ Quite a good job. (BTW, can he change into a cheetah!?)

Very very creative concept! And based off the king cheetah, that's a plus for me

Im glad you like the idea. Are you gonna be participating in this idea?
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm, I might try that out. There are some creatures I would like to make a concept out of such as a cassowary
π: 0 β©: 1
I actually thought about a cassowary character. It could be pretty freakin cool.

Well he is super fast at everything so about 20 minutes XD

Awesome! amazing design! his face looks quite elegant but you can tell he's deadly *.*
i actually kinda had an idea like this, reading 'the life of mammals' by david attenbourough
Some of the mammals are so cool, so i was gonna make characters as those animals, but I may make them human now, so thanks!

Yeah i really tried to get the look of a king cheetah without relying too much on spots or like a fur pelt. It took forever to get a weapon idea though XD. I would love to see what you can come up with, link me if you do one. I might make a journal with thumbnails of everyones characters.
π: 0 β©: 1
well, you did succeed, i think at least
The eye lines and spots on the shoulder do just top it off however
Ok, it'll be a while coming though
You should do a Great Panda, they're rare are they not?
But, perhaps, that is not original enough (:
In a list I found that there is only one alive Pinta Island Tortoise... that is rather sad ):
Btw, Ike is pretty good in SSBB
π: 0 β©: 1
Nah i dont really like giant pandas. They are pretty rare in the wild, but they are a little too well known ya know?
Who said ike wasnt good? I like using him a lot
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, I thought that you might say that, cos they are very popular.
No its just that you said to me a while ago that he was good, when SSBB wasnt out here yet, and now I'm agreeing

you did a good job portraying the animal :] looks great!!

Thanks, i did what i could

Yeah the pants make the character, i had a lot of fun designing them. I wanted a pretty unique design, something i hadnt really ever seen before. Also thats not a scarf, its a hood with a front cape thing, i thought it looked really unique. Youll get a better view of it in future pictures

Oh, can't wait. I think it's mighty creative. I can't think of anything except for bland clothing. No matter how much I play Fire Emblem. lol
