Description Yeah yeah, I should've had this up earlier, I know.
Anyway, Winx the Crocodile is my oldest character still in use, and is still my main character. Truth telling, she started out as a Super Mario-koopa fancharacter and looked fairly different, but I'd never told anyone about her or shown any pictures until 1997, in a form very similar to how she looks today. (So there were never any of her on the internet as a koopa)

Her first name is actually a contraction of my last name, with the 'ks' replaced by an x.
As I said on the image, she's rather sweet for a crocodile, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't bite or eat anyone, though...because she has, and might. Her temper can be set off fairly easily, too. She is (naturally) carnivorous, but likes sweets also. She will typically only eat any other food types just to be polite (for example, at the home of a vegetarian friend), or if they are served as part of a meat dish. Eating too much vegetation is bad for her.

And just to add a little more info on her--
Things she really likes include: trying new foods (preferably the meaty kind), sunning herself, gardens, water (rain included), dancing, and relaxing at home, or some other secluded place.

Things she hates include: militant vegetarians, mammal supremecists, having her rest disturbed, ice, and snow.

If you'd like to see some of the things she likes to wear, click here for a few samples.

And of course, the end of the artist comments contains the obligatory 'rights info which you probably already know (or read already), but I put on every picture description anyway, because I just do.
Winx Rayala Kyphon is property of Elizabeth J. Wilbanks.
And if any of you are just joining us, I made this character long before that similarly named show was made. (1997 is before any year in the 2,000s, you know) Asking if she's named after them now will only make you sound like either a non-reader of artist comments, a trouble-maker, or a moron.

She's one of the greatest anthromorphic I've seen so far! And you did all the emotions very good at the left!

Oh, nice character sheet there. It could really be useful for future reference of sorts.

Nice history too... I would've guessed she used to be a Koopa at all!

Every time I saw this character I thought she was a gecko. But something about me knew she was a crocadile too. What a cutie!

Heh.. yeah, she gets mistaken for other reptilian things fairly often.
Thanks for the comment.

She's a cute chara design, creepy hair-curl and all. (it's a cute touch, really) I like that you've added various expressions down the side - it's a nice inclusion for a ref sheet. I see her scale-spine thingies only go down the tail... I'd been thinking of doing that with one of my own characters (they currently go down the back too, which in concept seems to get in the way of clothing) but I guess I hesitate to keep with realism or something dumb like that... XD Anyway, very nicely done, pretty and concise.

EJW In reply to kureejiilea [2006-07-09 04:05:41 +0000 UTC]

Thank you.

Hmm.. well, if you wanted to keep your chara's back spines (I assume you mean Crazy C.), but not have them get in the way as much, you could reduce them in size to being nothing more than tiny bumps. So they'd be there, but not big enough to really cause any problems.

That's probably the best compromise. Thanks!

Hooray for Winx! She's definitely my favourite character of yours. I like the cute expressions on the side. I think that's the first time I've ever seen the character with so many various emotions.

Wow, long time since you posted an image with Winx in it.
I do love specially the face study you have made on her expressions...

She was something very very special... maybe it is the fact that she can be nice and mean... Ok, don't burn me, but I should say that she is in her way, Sexy.

You should made more art of she... or at least tell where I can find more art from she

I do like this char of yours

Yeah, I really need to draw my own characters more often, I guess.

And thanks alot.

kadai In reply to EJW [2006-07-09 01:46:13 +0000 UTC]

Yeah!
she has potential!
you know... isn't so easy to find cocrodiles/lizards/birds characters all around there...

Go ahead with her develop and art
I dunno... maybe something good can happen in the future...

EJW In reply to kadai [2006-07-09 04:51:37 +0000 UTC]

If you wanted to see art other artists have kindly made of her, you can go to the 'Vanity Hall ' section of my website. I have lots of gift pictures of Winx from the almost ten years that I've had her as a character. I need to update it though, as I have more since last time. ^..^

I haven't kept all of the oldest pictures I have drawn of her, and these days I draw more gift art and fanart than things for myself. There is nothing wrong with that, but it does leave my own characters with less personal art.

I know, reptiles and birds are not common in the anthro world... There are many more now than there used to be, though. ^..^

YAY!!!
I'll be waiting your update of the site ^3^~
and see more of the gifts you have received

erm... is a pity that you haven't keep all your old drawings ... why does most of the artist do that? whatever...
Maybe there is something good from made art of other's people char... I don't know, I'm not an artist... but maybe, when you take back to draw your characters, I think that one just prints much more effort to get them... I don't know if I was clear x-xUu ... but in few words: "You'll put all your heart drawing your chars".

or maybe I'm just excesively optimist...

Yeah, because there aren't so many reptiles and birds there in the fur/anthro world, that's why they rule x3~

x3~

EJW In reply to kadai [2006-07-15 00:08:25 +0000 UTC]

Oops. I'll try to remember to fix those when I update.

Well, I think it was for more reason than one. I may have simply lost some of them, and after one really gets a grip on what they want their style to be, the older pics have much less appeal...still, I wish I still had certain pics that were simply lost...

I'm afraid I don't clearly understand what you mean, but I think I have a pretty good idea... You mean that after drawing others so much it should feel more special to draw some for my own?

kadai In reply to EJW [2006-07-15 19:30:18 +0000 UTC]

hehe, I'll wait for your update... I'll keep an eye above you Eli ^^

whatever that it could be the reason of why you have lost them it doesn't matter ^^ because you have evolved in your style

and... well, I don't know if I do explained myself... but, I do thnk you get it
after drawing other people chars for long time... in some moment, you'll feel a need to draw your chars again, and then, you'll enjoy to do it ^^ at least that is what I think

YAY!!!
I do love your new avatar ^^

Excellent! Awesome character sheet of Winx, Liz. Great set of facial expressions and very helpful info with both poses and colors. I remember when I saw her at your website and enjoy your drawings of her. I doubt anyone will claim her as an idea from that cartoon show. Besides, who would want to be her next meal.
One of your best work, Liz.
