Thanks! I feel im getting better at doing colors. These are from ink sketchs so no colors, im haveing to figure out were the light is and what colors are needed. These taking a bit longer but im really likeing the results that are coming from them.
Light is a powerful thing in pictures as ive been studying the Brothers Hilderbrandt since they play with light a ton in thier paintings.
Mahalo!

So you have him as a personal Guardian? I wasn't aware.
I have a pair of rich Gryphons and an archaeopteryx daughter (their adopted daughter) I'll do a story and put it up soon.

....O.o....
Didn't think of it that way...but im a fan for sure.
Cool that should be fun...even tho im lost on the archaeopteryx is...but still should be a fun thing

The Archaeopteryx is a dinosaur resembling the first bird...it's more lizard, with two fingered claws with feathers on the arms as wings and a tail that has feathers around the reptilian tale.

This is what my archaeopteryx looks like, but my little Sadie is only 8 years old...this is her as an 18 year old

Ok, i wasnt thinking dino with the name but i know what it is now (Face Palm for that).
And nice looking, good concept, try to keep it clean if possible but to add in some shadeing and stuff if possible to make the illusion of 3 diemension if thats what your going for, and dont forget your color palet. Sorry my professor poped in my head all of a sudden thier.

Well, somehow I decided to stick with Usagi. I have a deep love for his stories and he makes me want to continue with my Martial Arts.
Besides...

Hope Stan does a ton more stories for Usagi.
