Description READ BEFORE YOU COMMENT
Okay, this is a very quick and badly done sketch of my zephyr character Kashtan for ~Shinmera 's use in a story of his so that he can see what he looks like. And no, before people start saying that it's a freaky looking dog, he's a member of an ALIEN species. The rectangle is an approximation of his fur colour, and those plates and things are metal. BTW, his two pairs of saber teeth are visible even when his mouth is closed as in the picture showing the shape of his diamond mask. So um, yeah, here he is. ^^

Seriously? I'm glad you like it ^^ And rofl, I screwed up his proportions here - his front half is too stocky for his back half
And I think you'd much prefer the proper ref Well, not his ref, his species ref

Hehe yup! What do you think of him? ^^ (he's one of my zephyrwolves who was designed for someone to use in their story, although this is a rubbish sketch, it sorta outlines his design)

InstantCoyote In reply to zephyrwolfen [2009-11-04 02:42:02 +0000 UTC]

I think it's a very interesting design. I like how long they are and his set of double sabre-teeth.

Aww thanks - I'm glad someone likes the longness ^^ It makes them have larger strides and more manoeverability ^^ And I'm glad you like the double sabres - I must admit I like that bit too XD!

InstantCoyote In reply to zephyrwolfen [2009-11-05 03:49:49 +0000 UTC]

Well, they don't look too long and they look proportionate, which is a big thing. It's not like you just have them long without being proportionate.
I love long teeth. I wanted to give some of my comic characters sabre-like teeth, but it didn't fit their anatomy as much as I'd like it, so I nixed that. lol

Yeah I'm glad about that - I tried to make sure that although he's very long and thin, his legs, head and tail still look as if they belong to his body and not someone elses XD!(asiatic dragons often annoy me - their legs are just tooooo tiny - I did a pic of one, but I made him have actual LEGS instead of little ones XD) However, they are divided into about 12 clans, each of which have slightly different appearances and sizes, but only slight things like head shape, height and posture - they're all clearly of the same species ^^
And never mind about the sabre teeth - if they didn't fit it's better you kept them out so that the characters worked better
Oh noes - I'm rambling again XD!

InstantCoyote In reply to zephyrwolfen [2009-11-07 03:02:41 +0000 UTC]

Oh I know! They have little legs like a newt. lol.

That's awesome. Realistic and well thought out. Reminds me of my creatures. We should do an art trade. lol. We can try to draw each others creatures.

zephyrwolfen In reply to InstantCoyote [2009-11-07 11:09:33 +0000 UTC]

Lol yes - and I like newts, but those dragons are just ott XD!
And we should - I'm a very slow artist and I'm inundated with homework, plus I took on a one-off trade over the holidays and I'm trying to finish it off, but when I'm done it'd be an honour to draw your critters, plus if you drew Kashtan it'd be mah first ever fanart! ()

That's okay. I'm always off in my own world. lol. Just let me know when and I'll draw.

zephyrwolfen In reply to InstantCoyote [2009-11-10 16:42:34 +0000 UTC]

Sure - I'll tell you when I start your character, then you can draw mine ^^ (would it be ok if you drew Kashtan since their armour etc is all different, and I haven't made any refs yet XD!)

InstantCoyote In reply to zephyrwolfen [2009-11-11 03:01:53 +0000 UTC]

Sure. I'll draw Kashtan. ^^ I don't know exactly who you should draw... Maybe Duhgare? The main briste-mane that I draw.

Oh - he sounds like a good suggestion! I'll start as soon as I can!

InstantCoyote In reply to zephyrwolfen [2009-11-12 02:06:28 +0000 UTC]

Maybe I should make a little ref for you, though. Let you see a sketch with some little scribble-notes on the anatomical structure since it's not like a normal looking cat-creature-thing. lol

zephyrwolfen In reply to InstantCoyote [2009-11-12 16:40:46 +0000 UTC]

Oh, that would be great! It would help a lot ^^ And is my little scribble of Mr.Kash enough for you to draw himk?

InstantCoyote In reply to zephyrwolfen [2009-11-13 03:19:31 +0000 UTC]

I'll send you a note of some scribbles of him. Um... Yeah, it should be. ^^

Shinmera [2009-10-30 20:33:44 +0000 UTC]

Uh. A lot different then I imagined...
Hmmm. *sigh* I'll draw a pic tomorrow of how I think he (should) look like.

Still. wtf? 5minutes?!

zephyrwolfen In reply to Shinmera [2009-10-31 12:38:05 +0000 UTC]

How did you expect him to look different to this? Just curious. ^^ Anyway, literally 5 mins XD! (maybe even less)

Shinmera In reply to zephyrwolfen [2009-10-31 12:41:53 +0000 UTC]

I'll start drawing in some minutes^^
I'm bad at explaining anyway

zephyrwolfen In reply to Shinmera [2009-10-31 13:58:58 +0000 UTC]

Aww that's fine! I'd like to see it! (though I'll only let the design be altered so much as there are certain rules that apply to his appearance due to his species and clan)

And yush, I know his anatomy is seriously bad, but it was done in 5 mins XD!
