Description Ooookay it was 04:30 am when i finished this o___o"
I woke up 12:30 pm today xDDD

So, here's my two new characters, Kerwen and Adar. They're my first characters with actual names. Woot xD
They represent my new - yet unnamed species and i'll submit the ref sheets of them as soon as i get them finished.

---

These species are predators that mostly lives in a small-ish groups [3-10 members] but they can survive alone too. They're not so depended on the herd and there are a lot of loners, mostly males.
They usually hunt smaller animals when being alone but with the whole group they can kill even bigger animals than themselves.


There are two types in that species, The lighter type and the heavier type.
Kerwen represents the lighter type and is rather small with more flexible body. Because the lighter type lives mostly in the south it has a short fur and it's body uses less energy, thanks to the smaller size of the body.

The heavy type lives mostly in the north, in the harsh and cold areas. It's body is a lot bigger and heavier than the body of the light type and it's fur is very long and thick. Mainly the northern types are pure white color with blue eyes, but there are also other colors [they are very rarely seen].

Adar is a hybrid between the light and the heavy type.
His body is lighter than the northern type's body and his feet are a little longer.
He's not completely white like his northern type parent.
Overall he resembles more the Northern type.

---

[link] <--- the same species.

The black one was supposed to be a female but then i found this name - Kerven = male Gaelic name meaning "little Black One". It just suited him so well so he ended up being a male too.
The name Adar is persian word for "Fire" ...It just sounded nice xD

Adar was meant to have horns but for some reason i forgot to draw them to him. lol EPIC FAIL!
Ah well...

I think i wrote all i wanted to say. I'll tell you more when i get the ref sheets finished.

Oh, and i worked on this piece longer that i usually do with my pictures.
It was fun though, normally i get easily bored if i'm working more than 15 hours.

Photoshop CS3 || 25 hours

Amazing work! I adore the texture around the eyes and the fact that the eyes seem to jump out at you. The characters look so interesting and the colors and movements really flow.
5 stars!

Would make a gorgeous book cover/movie poster.
So epic!

I'm very fond of the poses, the darker one playful and mischievous, the lighter one very regal and proud. They seem like very strong characters, I look forward to seeing more of them.

I think my favorite feature of these creatures is their mouths. Make for wonderfully devilish smiles. <3

Nylak [2008-10-16 03:22:44 +0000 UTC]

Dude, this does look like a movie poster. To a movie I'd definitely go and see. XD Love the species design; looks like a nice combination of realistic elements (the bodies remind me of something both equine and deer0like at once), along with crazy fluffy draconic fantasy aspects as well. The rendering of this piece itself is also quite beautiful; the figures themselves are absolutely stunning, and I love the energy in the composition of the landscape. And I don't know if the different iris shapes in the upper close-up is deliberate, but the added contrast between the compilation of the pair is a nice detail. Keep up the awesome work; looking forward to seeing more of these critters. X3

Wowser! This looks good enough to be a movie poster, or a book cover! Seriously, you ought to publish this!

This is truly amazing. And I agree! This really does look like a movie poster - I thought of that as soon as I looked at it. But wow... I love everything about this.

And the species! I really can't wait until you get a reference sheet up. I can't wait to learn more about them! They look gorgeous and so... innocent almost. Like you wouldn't suspect that they are predators. 8D

Yeah... and when you get too close they'll rip your head off and eat your eyballs. Nice horsie! cB

I'm quite excited of them myself. I've been drawing tons of similiar creatures for a long time but never named any of them. Um... well i'll name this species as soon as i come up with some good name xD
I'm pretty clueless what should i call them. lol.

But I just can't get over how cool they are. I want to draw one someday. c:
