I was thinking about giving someone something interesting. Sometimes I see a beautifully crafted treatment: color, light, textures, and so on, but here the basis is made with inaccuracies that strongly irritate against the background of the high quality of the rest.

It would be interesting to see how my drawings look like after the qualitative refinement. But as a rule, every artist sees by his own and those who know how to work qualitatively with color, work with their pictures.

I've thought about it, but if you were interested we could possibly work out something.  And not just me providing colour work, but a background and so on.

I say this because I'm not skilled as far as drawing muscled monster/beast-like creatures go.  And yet I have stories that certainly involve them, especially for a current project I'm working on where they're important to the story.  So... if you're interested, I have several creature types that I think your style would comliment well.

It's interesting for me. List those creatures that you wanted. And also a description if there should be some features (Clothes, a certain weapon, a pose).

What level of processing do you need? I'm not a coloring specialist and I do not know how you would be more comfortable. It is possible for you to use a carnage pattern without exact details like

Or a drawing where there will be clear boundaries, but few details. Or the maximum detail with shadows and the rest (although it is better to do the shadows yourself, depending on how you arrange the light sources in the surrounding space).

Shading is preferred.  It helps portray the volume/density of the body so I'll have a better understanding on what I'm working with, what additional highlights I may use or how ambient light sources from the background would be involved.  Nothing is ever straight forward for me either so what I initially want to draw may turn out differently altogether with the finished piece.  (And if I need to change any shadow details from your side of things that's no issue for me.)

So... something like this (with the excepotion of the shaded background) is perfect:


As for clothes, no need.   I usually begin with a naked beginning and, if need be, add clothes later.  Photoshop is great for that, since layers help.

That is unless we go with something like the armour your minotaur knight here is wearing.  Then it's just easier to not worry about what's beneath.

Anyhoo!  I'll send you those creature details I was thinking of in a note.  Hope you like a little story!
