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.

Β Wicked design! Β Β That Guardian Spirit looks like a Summoning Creature from the NarutoΒ Franchise.

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

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.
