Description
Adolescent Agouti Falcolf stands nervously on a cliff, preparing for her first 'real' solo flight on her own down along the coastline.Having crashed and burned clumsily on branching flights before she's got more than a few reasons to be intimidating by the winds blowing off the sea and the long drop to the beach below.
This STARTED as a la-de-da sketch and turned into a three hour lineless project. I'm not sure when Falcolfs start flying but the eagles near my old house didn't start their flying lessons until they were nearly as big as their parents, and lacking their bald-white heads, or at least getting sootyish gray patches. It was fun watching them loop back and forth down the river with their parents from one giant cottonwood to another. Seeing as Falcolfs are QUITE a bit bigger I would think their first flight fails would be a bit more extreme
I really like this peice
Thanks to a Pawlygone Tutorial I found here on dA
Next thing to practice are dog/wolf type faces... That should be fun...
Anyways, unnamed Falcolf is based on the creatures created by
Art is mine
Off to draw some paws and quail and stuff

This is very impressive! I love everything, the wolf, cliff, water. Very amazing<3
Is there any tutorials or such to teach me how to do a lineless drawing... I always wanted to do lineless... but I can't seem to teach myself the shading and stuff..

I like this!
The first time I saw this and the landscape nearby I thought he/she looked like a member of Kayli's clan. I love the expression of anxiety!
Poor thing!

Thanks
I didn't know what the terrain looked like but I remembered you said the coastline was drakoon/falcolf territory so I made it a coastal cliff place Fraidy-Falcolf
I still need to buy/read Ashes of Hope x.x

Well, the Sapphire Coast of Escavia kind of varies between areas of sand dunes and areas of really high sea cliffs, like the Cliffs of Dover. Beyond the shore where it's meadowy for quite a while (good farmland - people on the Sapphire coast mostly raise sheep for wool) it's all rolling hills and woodland. This was originally the home of a clan of falcolfs which occupied the territory and while there are still falcolfs along the coastline elsewhere, nobody knows what happened to that clan, which was Kayli's. I say that they left. (This is after AOH and BOF.) The drakoon only ever come in very small numbers (1 or 2) and are only there temporarily as ambassadors. (They're more like spies on the humans. They also spend a lot of time eating people's sheep.)
