Description

If not enough light reaches Vitox' skull and tail, the skin becomes transparent (yes I know that actually one would have to see her muscles then but others also treat this upgrade as if loons consisted of literally skin and bones). Had this picture in mind all of a sudden, so I went right to it. Had throuble figuring out how the hell her antlers are attatched to her skull in a way that she can still move her jaw without breaking something. Came to the conclusion that it's growing from her temple and the part down at the jaw kinda hangs free in a way that the jaw, muscle and skin still neatly fit under and are mobile without one really noticing that it's not attatched.


Vitox love count:

+ 6

Total: 76

+ stripes (100GM; 200GM for Vitox in total)

+ color on white/black areas (black thumbs removed, other black markings stay)

+ color change (more like color distribution/coat change)

Wirklich kreative art wie das geweih funktioniert
Und es ist einfach leichter nicht alle muskeln zu malen sondern einfach nur die Knochen XD much less detail stuff.

(Außerdem anders kann man glaube ich kaum die schnauze freilegen ohne any flesh etc)


Mir gefällt das bild extrem gut
Wie man den Lichteinfall sieht, und mit dem eigentlich sehr entspanntem feeling, aber dann vitox skull der dem ganzen so was mysteriöses, mythisches gibt
Hat ein wenig was von einem ghibli film oder very old folklore owo

danke ^^

visuell hat sie zwei seiten, das stimmt, aber genau wie ihre scheinbare unantastbarkeit und arroganz sagt auch diese "knochenseite" nichts über ihre wahre persönlichkeit aus x)

Love the use of colour in this!!
The background is stunning, honestly, your background skills are always stunning haha,
I love the trees and the leaves aND the light coming through to shine on Vitox looks fantastic, the lil lines of light on her fur make it really look like it shines,
the skUll idea is fantastic, I'd love to try drawing her one day when I get time :'))

Holy FUCK I love this!

I understand the horn/antler problem. I'm designing 18 dragon species from scratch for my own fantasy world and do you KnOW hOW HaRd It IS. To fit Ibex horns on a LION shaped skull????? Jesus I'm driving myself crazy grappling with fantasy anatomy. Dragons gotta eat without breaking their fab faces, yo.

You have such amazing skills in drawing, I am so jealous! I hope to gain to this level of skill one day. 

I thought transparency would go through muscle too, like a jellyfish, but I see your point and wonder why I didn't question this sooner e3e

practice and references acknowledge your mistakes (but don't beat yourself over them or be too harsh) and try to avoid them in the next picture ^^

I always assumed the muscle and other tissue is also transparent, although i treat it as translucent when i do it.
