Description
This only took me about 4.5 hours. >w> I'm getting faster and hopefully bolder with my experimentation.This character belongs to ~Hawk-v3 , who has my permission to repost and do whatever he wants with it, since I drew it of his charrie.
This lovely birdie gal is Phoenix, a helluva hot-tempered lady with the ability to control and conjure fire. See Hawk's page for more info on her.
I was trying for iridescence in her feathers. There are definitely better, more detailed ways to do it, but for the time being, this is the only way I knew how to do it. So whether I succeeded or not, I'll let you folks decide.
But personally, I think she looks pretty damn beast! She finally let me have a pose that shows off what appears to be her best business side... That is, if you catch her off guard while she's sunbathing.
: Enjoy, buddy!

Catch her off guard while she's sunbathing? Looks like something Gryphon would 'accidently' do in the summer....

xD Well... His funeral, I guess >v>
Sunning or sunbathing or whateva she does, it ain't good to surprise her while she is

XD It would be that bad? Whoa..... Gryph's toast then, haha.
Trust me. Gryphon won't just jump out and attack her.... He likes to take in the moment from a distance too.
Unfortunatly, it seems the girls he like never like him back. And the girls he doesn't like are all over him like a blanket. Poor guy.
I have to draw Gryphon and Phoenix sometime.

xD I would assume so. But I dunno Phoenix's overall reaction to that kind of thing. I would assume third degree burns at best. O.o
lol Silly Gryphon. Just not much luck, huh?
Heh heh, you should! ^v^ I think it would look pretty good

Oh wow! This is one of the most interesting phoenix-styling I've seen in a long time! Great job, it's very neat

:3 Thanks.
I can't take credit for her design, though. That goes to ~Hawk-v3 . I just illustrated her off a text description. >w<

Well, first off, it's beautiful! ^v^ *sqees like a fangirl, hugs*
I mean it. I loves it. ^v^
Additionally, you've done me three massive favours:
1: Her colouring! Holy crap you've done it well, and I like it enough to use it myself. ^v^ Best thing is, she looks unique with that colour scheme, so I will be using it meself.
2: Her body. Damn I hate proportion, so I'll be reffing this as well...
3: Iridescence. I personally think you've done really well with it, though I will be altering it slightly and toning the blue down a tad...
There are some small things I might nitpick, but that's small fry compared to how much I like the picture. ^v^

Chobaryu In reply to Hawk-v3 [2010-02-19 03:06:44 +0000 UTC]
So glad you like it!
Y'know, that's probably always my biggest worry whenever I draw someone else's character. >w> Whether or not I did that charrie justice.
You have no idea how much I fussed and fought with the reds and red-oranges. lol And learning proportions sucks. Always has, always will.
Heh heh x3 I fussed and fought with the blue, as well. Sometimes it looked too bright, others too dull, and sometimes the layer's Blending mode just outright fucked me over. Dx But in the end, I put some green into it, because I almost forgot that there is some green in blue iridescence.
^v^

You did her a lot of justice. ^v^
I bet they took ages. >v>
Well, I have to do proportion properly soon... VvV Reffing myself for an opposite gender character is going to be... Tricky.
Well, you did a nice job. ^v^ Might have to pay you to do another sometime.

Yay! ^^
Well, just a lot of fussing with. x3
Hmm.. Well, that's where reffing yourself for poses only comes into effect :3 That's how I do it with my guys.
^v^ Fwee~
=O I don't think I could accept a paid commish from a friend. But a free request thingy, sure :3

How do you turn a ref of yourself into a opposite gender, then?
>v> In which case, I'll say Hawk, and leave you to think about it.
Chobaryu In reply to Hawk-v3 [2010-02-21 00:10:55 +0000 UTC]
I draw gesture lines and use the rods and circles method to lay down the basic idea of the pose that I want. That's me, personally. Guys and gals are built different; shaped different. A girl is an hourglass, a guy is a trapezoid.
I've committed anatomical structure differences to memory since I started drawing anthro. x3
lol :3
