Description I happen to be the new archan artist over on subeta, although to be honest there aren't a whole lot more to do! And this one was already started by the wonderful DNA, so I only had to ink and colour it to finish it (The very clean sketch she left me was incredibly easy to work with. I only had to add the tail/markings and rainbows!)

Anyways, I loved this pose - very full of movement and a kind of dog/cat personality mixture which I like as I've always seen the archan as part lion, part bull terrier. Trying to match DNA's colouring style was fun, and I enjoyed working on this pet. I just hope that when it comes to drawing my own archan from scratch I can do as well!

I love the pose this Archan has - he just looks so happy!


I don't suppose you have a similar sized image for the blacklight Archan, that you could upload by any chance, Rah? (I'm struggling to take out the white background on the 200x200 image to make it transparent )

Oh this is a late reply as I don't come to DA very much any more, but I think I do have a BL FS version, and I can make it transparent for you if you still need it? Just send me a message on subeta!

This is so awesome. Its seriously fighting to become my new overall favourite pet. I really want my internet back so I can start seriously earning SP and actually get one. So. Awesome.

I was wondering why the sudden Archan. I think you did a fantastic job of adapting DNA's roundish kind of coloring to your own, to maintain consistency with the breed without losing your personal touch.

The use of the aura here is my second favorite creative use on the site--and the first is the Ruffie, so.

I love the movement, though I wish a little that the rainbows had fading trails.

Ohh that would have been a nice idea. I don't know if any of our spectrums HAVE fading rainbows because they used to be in .gif format, and that kind of effect just wouldn't have worked. But we're in .png now so it might have done :3

This is possibly the only archan I really like xD They always seemed so overly bulky before, but this is adorable =3
