Description
wow, uber color loss from that jpeg compression. Whatever.Anyway, another character from Character Creation class. We had to base a character on an aesthetic of another culture besides our own, so I chose Maori and Haida to portray this guardian spirit thing. It's kind of a cross between an owl, a whale and a bear.

May I ask you in what school you were? Seeing how good you are now, I hope more schooling may do something about my case

Thanks! I went to the Rhode Island School of Design. School isn't the answer for everything but it can give a leg up if you make the most of it.

Very cool! Have you looked at [link] ? She does a wonderful comic called "Bird Boy", much akin to this.

Thanks! Haha I do know Anna, we went the same school although she went a few years after me... and now, we're co-workers at the same company!

Heh! Awesome! Give her a poke about the Bird Boy knife for me... I'm going to make one like in the last couple of pages of the comic for her. It just looks cool- but I figger I ought to make it as close to exactly what she wants iffin' I'm a-gonna do it!
I think it's cool that 2 very different artists, stylistically are in the same company. Speaks well of them, I think! Also of the school!

This reminds me a lot of the anime movie Princess Mononoke and a bit of Spirited Away for some reason

I saw this drawing years ago, looked at it strangely intrigued and forgot it. Now stumble upon it again to find it has inspired a couple drawings of my own (not here in DA). Weird and wonderful

First thing I thought when I saw this was how bad I wanted to make a ginormous sculpture of this thing.

Totally unique and eye-bending! Vaguely reminiscent of Spirited Away etc, but with a style all of it's own....awesome!

Anatomically it's a bit confusing, but the colors and patterns are great.

Great design and concept! I can see the mix of the different influences, making it familiar and at the same time otherworldly. Very nice work!

I just went with what my spirit guide told me in my dream back when I was fifteen, Bear Wolf. That was an odd blend.

I had to ask too. how to you become a character designer? Do you have to take a class?

If this is it with color loss the orginial must be even more amazing. Would you be able to use thise design/patter/colors to fill in a peace sign for me for a tattoo?? PM me if Possible!

wow, how to get the ideas for such beautiful work

i really like the pattern it reminds me of stuff like chakra, aura and spirituel stuff. but i think it looks too pokemon-ish thats why i dont know i dont like how it is but i love the spiritual touch. it looks really traditional.

I can't stop looking at the colors/patterns on this, and the face of the creature is so unique.

It's got a lovely natural, yet uncanny look about it. And the swirly patterns are absolute love.
