Ok, so first off, this is probably going to go down as one of my most difficult pictures to draw both in terms of concept and execution. (seriously the background took me a good 7 hours by itself). Started this last week and worked on it as I could. I wanted to Reintroduce two characters, One of which is pretty familiar, the other... you've heard of him and may have only caught glimpses of him, until now that is.

I reintroduce Faulkner Reidd the Cat and Mathis Crowe (his adversary and a Crow). I'm still working on the cat design of Faulk so expect it to develop more.

...the two are currently in a 'meeting' . Can Mr. Reidd Call you back later?

so a bit of backstory time, Faulkner and Mathis are arch enemies, both in terms of business competition as they both own the two leading robotics and weapons manufacturing corporations on Alaria (and subsequently in MetaNova City). Also, Mathis is and has been Kaius Grey's right hand man since before the Hylex project, so the 'rivalry' is far more personal than one would initially believe.

As most of you know, Faulkner has the unusual ability to generate gravity 'spheres' with a focussed gravitation field, allowing him to float, hover, and control objects in their proximity.

Mathis is an odd fellow. Since he saw the power behind his technology and weapons research, he began to replace his organic body with the cybernetic counterparts as he believed that they would further his potential rather than be held back by his own organic limitation. However, the more he augments himself, the more inhumane and brutal he becomes psychologically and physically. Therefore, there's a direct relation to his 'evilness' and how distorted his body becomes (story motifs? OH GAWD). Anyway, Mathis can fly as most birds can, but he can, because of his cybernetic augmentation) create dimensional portals in which he can fire objects and even sent his appendages through for hand to hand combat (picture getting punched in the back of the head from this guy because you didn't see him nail you through a dimensional portal.) However, he cannot go through the portal entirely (like in the portal game) or it causes a collapse trapping him in a dimensional pocket killing him.)

Villains are fun to make.

ANNNNYWAY, they're falling down the side of a skyscraper. The angle of this shot was incredibly hard to get (you have no idea) and i am aware it's a bit awkward in spots, but with something this complicated and it being something i've never attempted before, I know it isnt perfect, but i did my best. c:

Also, there are some 'cameos' in here. The BUNI sign features robot bunneh, which belongs to ~R0b0t8unny , The very very old drawing collaboration between me and *cat-meff of Gauss (who needs one hell of a redesign), A few of my other pics on the back billboard, and the 'GRIN' Logo for *Toughset industries.

Heh.

Anywa, it was good fun, but i might wanna scale back the complexity for the next image so I don't hurt myself xD.

Hey, I can even see your skunk anthro in the back there |D

The only thing I'm really confused about in this picture are Mathis' wings. One kind of disappears and forms what looks like a fist, while the one in the back looks just like a normal wing.

And a bit of anatomy advice - I know this might sound awkward, and I noticed it in your Syron picture as well - But the crotch area should either be a bit bigger or have some definition, because it looks like you're trying to draw a female.

Ahhh, okay. That makes more sense. I wasn't sure about that, since I couldn't see the end of his other wing. And you're welcome, man! I'm sure there are plenty of reference here on dA.

I think you got the angle right, it looks all good to me. The colors and the shading are wonderful and I like their expressions. Like they're having fun. XD

Oh my godness Dan this is so ajksvanskjghaksjvn
Damn just look at those details, specially that backgound, those 7 hours doing it were so WORTH IT. I also love Mathis Crowe's design; Dude your character's design is so incredible!

You really deserve another DD for this

This piece is amazing. Yours always are.

However, allow me one criticism; Faulkner doesn't look very feline. His muzzle is far to long; it makes him look like a fox or something similar. Try shortening a bit. Also, cats don't have a straight muzzle either. Look up pictures of cats in profile. Their muzzle is often aligned with the forehead, only broken up by a soft curve.

yeah i ran into that problem as I am still trying to differentiate styles and stuff. In future pics, i'll get him looking more like he should. Thanks though

Aaaah this is still so cool ;u;

All your hard work definitely shows in this one, and it kinda amazes me how each one of your pieces seem to rise above the next ;o;

I love your anthro stuff so far and the designs of your characters~ And....that perspective....oh gosh

I could go on and on about your colouring but since I've done that on almost all your other pieces I shall just say it is fantastic as usual and I can tell you took a long time thinking about how the lighting would all work! (Which is really admirable with all those light sources everywhere!)

That background was definitely worth the time as there's just so much to look at and, once more the perspective is done really well!

Whoops SORRY FOR THE LONG COMMENT.....but yes this is definable your best work (in my opinion at least) and I can't wait to see what you pull off next ;w;

that you actually can make all thos detales, shades, pose, diffrent views... I dont have words anymore x)
Im gonna find a day where i can get to write a longer and better one later ^^
Keep up good work!
