Description Much needed updated referance on Lonsabre

Many people actully saw me working on this on Live. Well here is the finnished product.

and yeah his back legs are different, wasn't a big fan of the darkness around the foot so i changed it. And the bio is different from the last.

Comments and critique are as always welcomed

This is a very recognizable character, and quite enjoyable at that. His design is so lovely, I love the earthy tones you used for him. Even though the markings themselves are unnatural - such as the stripes - you've still blended them in to be very believable, so I commend you for that :3

If you wouldn't mind a bit of anatomy critique though? You seem to have drawn everything correctly, but his proportions seem to be misaligned. For example, his head seems to be the same length as his leg. Now as I'm sure you know, wolves are stamina animals, with long, narrow legs. So I think it'd look a lot better if you scaled his head down some and stretched out his legs.

[link] Here's a picture of a wolf in a similar pose so you can see what I mean with the proportions.

His elbow joint seems a bit shallow - the front leg sticks out almost straight, and the right foreleg has an angle while the elbow is tucked on the body. Loosen them limbs, girl ;3 Wolves have a lot of stretchy, connective muscle between the elbow and ribcage, so don't be afraid to pull it away from the body. Same with the hind legs, they look pretty straight/stiff. Of the three bones in the leg, the middle (shin) bone is the longest, not the top or bottom. Back legs can be tricky, but again don't be afraid to show all their angles and stretch em out. He's got such a pretty coat, we want to show it all, yes?

His ears and muzzle are a bit oversized, but that seems to be a style issue so I won't nitpick. Sorry if I got a bit carried away, I do love anatomy ^^ Anyway, cute character, lovely design, keep it up!

wow thank you so much for taking the time to critique this =] you really mentioned some helpful stuff, in particular the legs. I will try to keep this all in mind for future drawings. Once more thank you so much for taking the time means a lot when people say more then just awsome, or cool X]

I see a fleur-de-lis. xD For some reason I notice these things.
I like his description. I didn't know that Talon was his daddy. O.o Interesting new twist for me. And he has a mate? And a daughter? Ooooh this is interesting. I love this character.

You did an awesome job, wish i could have see it live. But i only see one thing and thats his legs.. the seem short or way to stiff. looking at his paw then his head, etc. it just makes the whole legs seem short. But over all still amazing ^^

Angelwolfsfire [2009-09-17 02:07:58 +0000 UTC]

I love how there's an expression on his face-he kind of looks like he's thinking "what did you say, punk?" It gives him more personality ^^

Aww, he looks so sweet. Daaw. The colours are very nice...but watch the legs, they seem a little stiff. (especially the front ones.)

Also, the fronts seem to be a tad too close together. Try to be careful when drawing them. Legs can be pesky.

All in all, great work.
