I haven't drawn that many cats so I decided to draw a tiger, which is my favorite animal.

SpottedLeopard @ Sun Nov 06, 2011 9:43 am

Cute! Tigers are so interesting, I like how you did your stripes.. Good job! ;D

~Musical Melody~ @ Sun Nov 06, 2011 9:50 am

Thanks and you probly noticed that it might have some similarities to a wolf. Im used to drawing wolves and dogs not cats, but this one looks less like a dog than most of my cats. :)

Gift Art for Yukon~ 1/3
by mango sherbet @ Sat Sep 17, 2011 11:17 am [Reply]

Last week I decided to make a three-part gift for Yukon, in art. She's an amazing artist and I adore her fursona, so that's who I'm drawing. If you want to see Yukie's amazing art, you can view her gallery here.
So for my first drawing, I did the classic headshot portrait. It was actually pretty time consuming for me, but I enjoyed it all the same. And whatever the timer says is true...
Anyway, I'm looking for critique, and some ideas about what pose I should draw Yuck in next.
Yuck© YUKON:)

YAY REDLINE ^.^ based on this drawing by Mentalist Psycho
by HWL @ Wed Nov 09, 2011 8:20 am [Reply]

I did another red-line :D this one was pretty fun(: Sorry, some of its messy D:

A FEW THINGS
-The head needs to...ah...bubble out a bit. Like the forehead needs to be a little higher. (hope that makes sense -.-)
-Tuck the chest a little
-The leg is much higher up, especially the shoulder muscle...thing lol n.n
-the back shuld dip in a bit
-The stomach should tuck in a little
-Near leg is good, just a bit fatter at the bottom.
-Far leg should be a little bigger, and more bent.
-DETAILS, my dear. You are missing in details): Add little tufts of fur on legs, stomach, neck, tail, shoulder, ets. Add some cheek fur on the face. Put thick fur on the neck and tail, not as much on the legs. A little fur on the face.
-Make the ears a tad bigger

Hope I helped ^3^ Sorry if I sounded harsh at all, im new at this >.<

Dragon Wing Practice
by Susiron @ Mon Nov 07, 2011 5:41 pm [Reply]

I just randomly decided to practice dragon wing anatomy, herp de derp. I've always had trouble with them, so practice is good. xD

To anyone that struggles with them as I always have, try to image the entire wing as a hand, rather than a random limb sticking out with stupid little sticks to hold the sails. That claw that sticks out at the top of the joint is the "thumb", and the long bits of flesh that hold the sails are the "fingers."
Since they are basically hands, they should connect like a hand does. So imagine that what you are looking at IS a hand. (with only three fingers for the right one, lol.) Now hold up your left hand and separate your fingers so that your thumb and fingers are mimicking the pose shown here. Now you get a general idea of where the digits will be placed.

Also note that the sails need to be LARGE. Dragons aren't light little humming birds-- they need GIRTH to their sails. In fact, a dragon's wing anatomy makes much more sense when it connects to the rump/tail, NOT when it concaves back in near the shoulder.

How do you know this for sure?

Well, what does a dragon's wing remind you of? Bats, right?
Well, where does a bat's wing sail connect? Does it curve back in under the armpit?
No, no it does not.

BAT WINGS:

http://cache2.artprintimages.com/p/LRG/ ... gascar.jpg

It's also good to have that little sail BEFORE the joints. It makes them more aerodynamic-- and it's just overall more visually pleasing, if you ask me.

Making a sail out of the thumb is personal preference.


Here's an excellent detailed muscle anatomy of a western dragon to top it off:
http://ersbethshadowsong.deviantart.com ... 8#/d3iy3c7


And to those that don't want to compare to a bat's wing because you think dragons can't be related to mammals, then what is your excuse for pterodactyls?
http://www.michaellandia.com/resources/Pterodactyl4.jpg

Again, they also demonstrate the enlargened sails.

You do know that bats are mammals and dragons are reptiles right?

Comparing a mammal to a reptile doesn't really work.

Actually, it really does.
You can compare the anatomy of almost all creatures to one another. We all have the same list of bones, only used in different ways.
Dragon wings are primarily based off of bat wings. Their anatomy goes hand in hand with it.

Besides, dinosaurs, supposedly great reptiles, are more akin to BIRDS than anything.
If a dinosaur can grow to develop wings, I'm pretty sure people can have enough brain power to use a bat's wings on a dragon.

And, besides the point, dragons are FICTIONAL.

Since dragon's are fictional, you can do whatever you like to make it work.

IsaiahCreek @ Tue Nov 08, 2011 8:50 am

Yes, dragons are fictional. And, like you said they can be what ever someone wants them to be.

But that doesn't mean that they have to have bat-like wings. They can have whatever wings a person decides to give them. Saying a dragon should only have wings like a bat is a untrue statement.

Did you ever play or hear of the game Spyro, those were dragons and they did not have bat-like wings.

And this

Susiron wrote: I'm pretty sure people can have enough brain power to use a bat's wings on a dragon.


Is very rude. Like I said. All dragons do not have or have to have bat-like wings. They only do in your opinion.
Some dragons don't even have wings.

This is Fluttershy at the Grand Galloping Gala! :D
She's missing her front right slipper/shoe, her back left slipper/shoe and her gown/dress (her gown/dress is located at the bottom left hand corner). He necklace is broken in half and by her feet, there's a bunny string at her by the bottom right hand corner, and a sparasprite is under her name :P

I love it, but it you're looking for critique, her snout looks rather long in the picture, making it look rather odd. Maybe it is just the angle, hope you don't mind that I pointed it out. C:

Mikkens
by Susiron @ Mon Nov 07, 2011 10:20 pm [Reply]

Another creature from my story, "Guilt."

Mikkens are tiny little rodents, able to fit in the palm of a hand, but they possess very special anatomy. Their ears, tail, and a flexible dorsal sail on their back serve as methods for flight.
A Mikken flies by flapping their ears like wings, while using their dorsal and tail sails to bend and use the air currents to their advantage. They live in close, swarm-like families, making their nest within the trunks of hollow trees.

Mikkens have become very rare within Lorn in recent years, however. The creatures are designed after Ineo (basically, mother nature), and so they feel a great connection to the land around them. Because of this, Mikkens cannot be found in "spoiled" lands. Any place where war and malice have taken reign will flush away any possible Mikkens living nearby.


Characters and creatures copyright to me.
"Guilt" is copyright to me.

CoyoteSoul @ Tue Nov 08, 2011 12:55 am

Aww could you make me one? Or could I have one as a character and design it myself? IT IS FRIGGIN ADORABLE!

I'm going have to give you a solid /no/.

I'm sorry, but any creature that I describe within my "Guilt" series is OFF LIMITS.

I am trying to get this book series published. I can't have people making their own, copying off of mine, or me throwing them out to people willy-nilly.

Oofay @ Tue Nov 08, 2011 1:27 pm

Lovely sketch. It's so cool-looking and creative...and majestical!

Good luck getting published, as well. :thumbup:
