Description Guess who's fennec anatomy got better?!

Taiki is one of the few characters in my comic who made it through the rewrite practically unchanged. Though I think I'm much better at drawing him now than I could back then. xD

Believe it or not, Taiki here is one of the bad guys. xD What he lacks in strength, he makes up for in stealth and skill. He has a mark called a "Counter-Keystone" which, like it sounds, is the counter power to the Keystone marks.

Do you all ready have all Counter-Keystone characters planned out? I'd like to audition to make a design~ I always though it would be pretty cool to audition for something

Actually, I have all the designs planned out for the Counter-Keystones except for one. I was going to ask around to see if anyone wanted to help me make a design, but if you'd like to audition a design, then that'd be great!

Anyway, the character that needs a design is female. She doesn't have a name yet but it needs to sound African/Native American-ish. xD I'd also love for her to be a canine of some species. A coyote or gray fox with darker colors would be nice. x3 Anything else is up to you. <3

Fffft, that didn't take long at all. x3 You're a much quicker character designer than I am. xD

But omg, she looks sooo amazing! <33 I can already tell I'll be using her a lot. I've always had a soft spot for gray chars. But thank you so much! She's perfect.

xVexVamp [2010-10-11 19:58:33 +0000 UTC]

Wow, that is an amazing idea, and I love his mark. You've really improved, and your now able to capture the shortness of their muzzles compared with their huge ears. Such cute animals, yet he looks far from tame. I loved your style before, but now you've captured your own that split off from the TLK style and I love it even more! Hope you'll consider finishing this comic and getting it printed.

Wow i LOVE him i wish i was as good as you with anatomy it takes me forever to get anatomy right but you get yours perfect all the time

Hehe he is soo small and adorable he's a lil bad boy

wow you do pictures quite quikly (considering all the detail put into it) if i was to do something nearly as good as that it would take me like FOREVER! well technically not forevre but about 10 hrs spread over a couple of days

Lol anyway keep up the great work fire
Can't wait to see the rest

KaiserTiger In reply to Tafuta [2010-10-11 21:37:20 +0000 UTC]

I think my anatomy could be better here though. This is only the third time or so I've drawn a fennec, so I've got a lot to learn. xD

>3 And he is. I've always like the cute little evil characters though.

D: I don't put down all the time it takes me to plan out a picture though. I swear it takes me about that long to actually get an idea. Once I have that idea though, my pics get finished quick. ;3

But thank you Roxxi! <33

Tafuta In reply to KaiserTiger [2010-10-12 17:31:14 +0000 UTC]

:/ well not really much better lol well really i can't say much as i am not too good wth anatomy myself :/ (you can't critisize something if you don't know what the correction is) hehe i have only drew a fennec a few times but when i first started drawing them they had too much of a lion anatomy :/ (which i was then accused of tracig just becasue it had lion anatomy :/ stupid right?)

Well you have to love ALL little characters but litlle evil characters are cool just like plankton off spongebob lol he is just soo funny and small

lol it always takes forever to plan a picture :/ i think it took me a whole night to decide on this i started thinking of what to do when i got back from school and i only just startde before i had to go to bed my pictures take a while to do though i guess i just need more practise with my tablet then i will get stuff done quicker

Youre Welcome

KaiserTiger In reply to Tafuta [2010-10-13 01:22:58 +0000 UTC]

Same with me. I used to draw everything like a feline. Wolves, foxes, everything. xD I had no idea how different they are from cats until I actually started art school and was forced to use photo refs for my stuff. <33 It helped tons. D: But I don't think I ever had someone accuse me of tracing because my wolves looked like lions. xD That's just weird.

Omg, exactly! xD It's hard to take little evil chars srsly so they can get away with a ton of stuff. x3

D: Me too. I'm lucky if I get a good sketch in the same days as I start my planning. :/ It usually takes me 2-3 days to sketch out something I like. After that, I'm usually pretty quick. But practice helps a lot and you'll get faster after awhile. <3

Tafuta In reply to KaiserTiger [2010-10-14 17:07:17 +0000 UTC]

Hehe i guess even the best artists used to get something wrong i realized it when the person actually said it to me :/ then i started looking at natural refs n such to try and get the hang of it more
Yeah but the person who said it is someone who moans at nearly EVERYONE! she is always first to flame tracers, complain at referencing someones image, stealing a chracter etc. most people got really annoyed with her so she has stopped doing it now (someone posted a bulletin complaining about it and lots of peole were backing them up) you probably know who i am talking about unless you have never spoken to her on the archive :/

Thats why you gotta love little evil guys

Yeah i am just slow at the moment because it is strange using it after using a touchpad for so long so sometimes its confusing but after about a few months i should be fine with it
