Description the "Finish Avatar" project week six.

Hope it's not too dark to see... again...

...

So, back when I held my first Kirban at 10,000, =LingLiliChan won. But, being that it was my first kirban, I put up the journal announcing it late... and I got a lot of comments from people telling me they missed it.

As far as I can tell, only two... maybe three people were actually able to participate. And of that unknown number, only two people sent me pictures.

So, even though ~IvyShadow 's screenshot was one off and someone else had put one up (on the correct number), I told her I'd make something for her too, because she went to the effort of trying to catch it at short notice.

What she asked for was a werepanther (like a werewolf... but they become a panther-like thing instead). I'm not very good at animals in general, and I've never delved into Anthropomorphism (which means giving human characteristics to animals or inanimate objects, often shortened as simply "anthro"), that's why he looks more like a fluffy toy than an angry beast. Sooooo.... I hope you like it

If you guys ever want me to do something for you, you can ask. Believe me, I won't bite (^he might though ). The worst that can happen is I'll say "I can't do it now." In the near future though (unless it relates to a Kirban that will be better advertised), I'd be more likely to take requests related to the project.

...

Art belongs to me, please do not steal.

Thanks for looking
-Matt

P.S. did you see Ryuki, The Hidden Ninja Strawberry? (If not look here: [link] )

Very interesting. I liked the way you did his anatomy, his muscles and limbs and whatnot, making him look very strong and genuinely freaky.

Thanks

Yeah, I thought that mostly human musculature with catlike accents was the best way to go. Thats how most werewolves I see are, so I assumed it would apply here as well.

Oh, I see. Yeah, most werewolves I've seen are mostly the way you've drawn it.

How cool. I love the shading, and how it appears all black at first, but if you look at it close, it's actually not.

Ryuki is in the top right corner behind a strip of green!

Thanks

I was using real black panthers for reference. And the thing you notice first when you look at those pictures is that they are never truly black... They're often a very deep shade of blue, and the highlights shade accordingly. So, that's what I went for

Yep! Ya caught him

AmazingGlideh In reply to Mattierial [2011-02-17 14:08:47 +0000 UTC]

No problem.

That's amazing! Betcha that helps them a lot with camouflage in real life. It sounds fun to draw, also.

Personally, I think the shading looks more like a teddy bear than a furry werepanther...

THIS IS THE MOST GORGEOUS WEREPANTHER I HAVE EVER SEEN! *hugs it to death* And it shall be named Makarios, because that is the name I have given to my werepanther character. Thank you so so so so so so much Mattierial! Whenever I happen to upload anything from his story, would it be alright if I used this as a preview image? I would totally give you credit. ^_^

And dang it, Ryuki has elduded me this- wait, what is that? *pulls out magnifying glass* HAHAHAHAHA! You have not managed to pull the wool over my eyes just yet Ryuki! I have won this round! HAHAHAHAHAHA! *coughs and loses the evil effect* Darn it.

Mattierial In reply to IvyShadow [2011-02-17 02:10:11 +0000 UTC]

Glad you like him Makarios huh? What's his story? And, of course you can use him as an upload image

Good job on finding little Ryuki! He tried his darndess to get away

IvyShadow In reply to Mattierial [2011-02-17 02:21:40 +0000 UTC]

^_^ Yup, Makarios. Well I already have the prologue of sorts up, though I might have called it a chapter accidentally. It's called Tooth and Claw for now.

XD Thank you. And yes he did, but I prevailed! *pauses* And I just realized I'm getting worked up over a piece of fruit. *headdesk*

Yep! But... He is a pesky little fruit
