Description

Felt like I needed to practice Saliko in this style a bit more. Thing is, dogs translate easy into this style; but the feline/ferret/rat-like anatomy of Salikos (particularly their egg-shaped heads) needed some revisiting here. Need to practice both adults and whelps, so I can start finishing off those whelp achievements owed to myself, UNGODIY , and Terra-Bites .

Be prepared for an enormous dump of Tariq into my gallery over the course of the next couple of days.

Beautoful pic.
I really like this kind of style. Looks great

But for the Achievement it's not enought.
'Nest Robber' means you have to show the nest (not only one egg)  and at least a bit environment. 
Show us where the sali has found the nest and how it gets the eggs. Is it a bird's clutch or a reptile's nest?

I'd definitely consider it if people were interested. Probably not until the summer (June/July), since I'm finishing off owed art right now and then will be vanishing for the last week of May; but feel free to note me if you'd like to discuss it.

Love this style! I need to practice Saliko anatomy as well. I have the tendency to go too far in either canine or feline direction, when it's more of a blend. The new lineart provides a much better reference though.

MechanicalCerberus In reply to Terra-Bites [2015-05-10 15:30:27 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! And yeah, I was going much too far into the canine for a while; particularly in the faces. The new references are an enormous help, though.

Thank you~! Hoping the whelps end up as cute/cuter... trying to add more roundness for them, but man, it's hard. Anatomy (even when exaggerated) is not my friend.

coyote-cat In reply to MechanicalCerberus [2015-05-10 19:02:26 +0000 UTC]

ahh yeah qvq still though
Anatomy is my worst problem with drawing salikos haha
I need to finish some quick commissions before i draw them, but I definitely need to start drawing Ze more

I am going to keep an eye out for that, then. Ze's markings look fun! Happy they'll be showing up on the other whelp achievements. I'm going to be hoarding EP for Tariq because I want to push him right to the top of the hierarchy... and then I have 3 other pending Saliko to work with. Plus my Tokotas. Lots to do, lots to do...

coyote-cat In reply to MechanicalCerberus [2015-05-10 19:31:20 +0000 UTC]

Ahh yeah. They are fun, but a little tricky to get right haha
Ah yeah, same. I have lots of sketches but rarely enough time to line, color, and possibly shade all of them..pff 
That sounds like a lot of work holy cow

MechanicalCerberus In reply to coyote-cat [2015-05-10 19:33:02 +0000 UTC]

It is quite a bit of work; but... most of it I can take at my own pace, so I'm not worried. Since both the Saliko and Tokota groups have no activity requirements. Phew!

coyote-cat In reply to MechanicalCerberus [2015-05-10 20:16:52 +0000 UTC]

Ah, yeah true. I'm glad they don't have the requirements, makes things less stressful. x)
