Description So, I've been coloring

This is my new character, Xerxes (zerck-sees). He's like a big cat/dragon/mythical sky creature...thing...dunno how I thought of him, but this is the first time a colored version has been dished out.

So, this guy is pretty cool, I think. At night, his colors completely change. See the colors of his bands-the black and silver? Well, at night, Xerxes takes on those colors. His body is black and his mane is silver (other colors just stay the same). ALSO! Xerxes is very much associated with the constellations of the zodiac. At night, the constellations are present within his black fur. I thought the idea was pretty cool

I will make a nighttime version of him soon

Hope you like him!

I think I remember helping you name this guy... I don't know if you drew him first, or if I told you about the name...
I just remember being fascinated with the spelling... Xerxes is the god-king from the movie 300, and when I watched the credits, that's how they spelled it.
Either way, he's a wicked awesome character. =]

first off I would really like to apologize to you for what I did. I did not in any way mean to steal your work or your style of drawing. i am truly SORRY for what I did I only wanted to improve my skills by looking at how you draw.I just wanted some ideas to work with that I could change into my own style.So I hope that you could please forgive me, because I did not mean any harm.I really like this picture and also the color! I really admire your drawings and your talent! I do not like when people are mad at me, it makes me feel worthless.so I hope you can forgive me.

if people use my drawing for REFERENCE it's fine, but to completely copy someone's work is another thing. You should find your own style and forget about my style and Angie's style because then the 'style' that you've adopted isn't original at all.

i won't have a problem as long as my style isn't seen in your work. just make your own so you can have individual art that's not like everyone elses.

I am still very SORRY. I will work very hard to create my own style.

Amazing! ^^ I had a character named Xerxes once! ^^ He was a daemon. Awesome job! I can't wait to see the night version! Does he change with the sun rise and set? Or does he take on a splash of both versions on the in between times?

Lare7 In reply to Keira-the-Wolf [2008-04-26 02:07:43 +0000 UTC]

I haven't even thought of that. I suppose he does just switch over; like fade from the green to the black
