Description Guess who bought a new ballpoint pen yesterday!

that's right

*Gah*, I love the scapulas on this one... finally did an anatomically correct night fury back, yay Β°vΒ° The head might be a bit big for my taste though... What do you think?

God I loveΒ being anatomically correct. My favourite muscle is the trapezius, it's so awesome how it works with the neck and the shoulders. No problem x)

Whoa ! cool Night Fury ! though I kinda agree with you on the 'head a little too big'Β  but still cool though

Thanks! Well I'd try to argue that it's a 'teen' if ya get what I mean... But he already has the little nubs on the chin from the 2nd movie when Toothless is already 19-21ys old, so that excuse doesn't really work xD

Well Toothless is Hiccup's age in the 2nd movie, so about 20 something, technically he's kind of a young adult
but seriously, this is one cool Night Fury !

Yeah, but his proportions are different from mine, that's my point C: Thanks nonetheless though!

Ooo very nice! Β I think the head is fine, I think the neck might be a little to thick for the angle it's at. Β It also looks very stiff and straight, even though the head is turned around quite a bit, so there should be some contortion int he neck too.

MonoFlax In reply to Kia-arra [2016-04-11 21:45:49 +0000 UTC]

I thought so too! There should at least be a few wrinkles on the neck around the chin to indicate a 'twisting' motion. Thanks for the feedback

good anatomy! Β 
left wing looks a little short though ^^

MonoFlax In reply to InsanityImpact [2016-04-10 18:22:36 +0000 UTC]

I agree, mainly the webbing should be wider. Thanks a lot though!

Daaaaang, this is fiiiine!!!!!! I adore the back and wing anatomy, although I would agree with some that the fingers need to be longer

MonoFlax In reply to CactusDrag0n [2016-04-10 18:24:43 +0000 UTC]

Yup, the wing is a bit too short there, but I think it's mainly because of the webbing. Thank you!

RichardsonSquared [2016-04-10 15:10:02 +0000 UTC]

The wings need to be wayyy bigger. It's hard to achieve, but the wing to body size is different. The head is fine!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

MonoFlax In reply to RichardsonSquared [2016-04-10 15:30:30 +0000 UTC]

You're right, although sizes can be tricky while the wings are folded. You should also consider perspective. The right wing for example looks good to me, ifΒ you think of it as pointing slightly 'forward' (from the nightfury's pov)-Β but I'd definitely change the left one. That one also looks clumsy in the way he 'holds' the wing. Should be more stretched out.
Dunnow about the head. Might be the neck that's too thick, but something definitely looks odd to me. Thanks for your feedback, I really value honest critique C:

RichardsonSquared In reply to MonoFlax [2016-04-10 16:39:42 +0000 UTC]

Yes very true. Yea I can see what you mean. Naw I think the head just looks off with the wings being a bit weird. I always love to make the wings huge for some reason. No problem! I love to help out people.

MonoFlax In reply to RichardsonSquared [2016-04-10 18:31:39 +0000 UTC]

So you think solving the wing problem would've solved the head problem aswell?
