Description
Characters change as you draw them over and over. This drawing of him has some new things going compared to that of the original character reference.Largest real change is that I turned his cane into a crutch, more fitting as he uses it to lean and steady himself. A crutch is a better tool than a cane for this.
Also, making sitting poses is hard but in the end I am quite satisfied over this!

Hello!
I must say you've put a lot of effort on this painting! The artwork looks amazing! I need to mention the highly appealing purple energy which just caught my eyes! The horns looks amazing and beautiful at the same time! The colorful tail also adds to the appeal of the overall painting. The point I found a bit low appealing was the lack of required shades in the clothes. This might sound odd but since the staff and the clothes have almost the same shade, they are difficult to distinguish by the viewers. Improve on shades a bit and you'll see awesome results! Overall I would say this painting looks really good and I hope you've a great day!
Keep being awesome!

Hi there.
About the clothing. It's the same material and color, that's an intentional choice I have done. It is a shame that people find it difficult to differentiate the mess but I plan to not do any real changes to it.
Thank you for the feedback, nonetheless!

You cannot call it a shame, but it is just a general view of the image. I'm deeply sorry it it was hurtful in any way.
You're welcome and KEEP BEING AWESOME

Hey there I'm from ( I don't know if I'm supposed to say that ) anyway I don't know the original character u mentioned but I like how different the character looks, I wouldn't be able to think anything like this.
I like the expression you gave him and I think you handled it pretty good ( I'm terrible at expressions ) but there's only one thing that botheres me is the clothing. The cover of the crutch looks like a piece of his clothes and are those baals holding his garb?
Also his leg could be a bit to the right.
Besides all that I love the color palette every color fits the other one and the shadows are well placed.

I tend to mention I am part of the group. I think it is alright that the group gets more publicity. It's doing a fabulous job.
Expression is hard as fudge. Seriously. It's a different set of clothing but it is made of the same cloth and color. Yes, those balls are holding the cloth.
Which leg could be more to the right?
Thank you for your comment.

I was referring to the leg on the right side of the picture but just ignore it. •—• I thought that he turned right a bit too much which looked a bit weird but I realized that was his arm ( or I guess that's his arm ) my eyes are a bit stupid as you can tell TT.TT

He is missing his left arm. One arm thing.

Oh Ok then his right arm could be a bit more to the right. Thank you for replying

Tainted Truffle from ProjectComment from the thumb nail this is a confusing picture. I couldn't even really tell what was going on from looking at it. Once it is opened however it is a nice pic. You did a good job on the different textures and the tears although I would recommend outlining the head tentacles since that is literally the only thing on the whole picture not outlined , making it end up not matching.

The head things are outlines but in a slightly darker pink than the rest. It's an intentional thing I did as I thought it better delivered the glowing look.

This is good. Kinda reminds me of adventure quest.

Any particular reason why you think its good?

The art style and the color choices for him. The shading was well used and I really like those plasma like horns he's got going on. Whatever those are it gives your character a sense of magic and odd wonder. The more i look at the picture the more I see him like a character from Labyrinth. But yeah that's why I think it's good.

I dunno what Labyrinth is but thank you for a better formulated comment.

WHAT!? You should watch it, if you like 80's movies with puppets that look like weird mythical creatures from fairy tales. All the puppets are from Jim Henson and the antagonist is the late but still amazing David bowie.Lastly I got a youtube channel if you wanna check it out. I'm still a rookie animator but I'm developing my skills. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Very nice. I love how characters change as you get to know them better

In your comments. You were talking about changes made to the character.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, yes, but if you make a character you ought to know them by default, no?

haha, that's never how characters work for me. They develop as I go along. My characters are always full of surprises for me.

I tend to brainstorm a lot of stuff around a character before even showing the slightest thing.
Characters then sometimes get a visual update but they tend to keep their personality with little to no tweaks.

Yep.

I think this is a really cool character and obviously one you have a lot invested in. I think the different elements of the character really make him unique. I especially like the scales in the tail and the small pink details in the face.
The cane is a bit of a mystery at first glance, and it took me a minute to understand what it was. I think this is mainly because of the colors you chose. I would suggest you give the middle part of the cane a different color than the shawl that your character is wearing. This could be as easy as a bit lighter/greyer of a blue so it still looks like it's part of the whole ensemble.
Don't be afraid to use other color pallets. You can use an orange or a purple or blue/green and just make them a little more diluted (greyer) and they can still fit the atmosphere of your pictures. Particularly with this picture, the chair could be a completely different color to distinguish the cane and ball shapes you have from the chair.
Last I would say in your darker areas to use maybe a highlight color for your lines or right above your line or something. Right now it is hard to see any details in the feet and I actually though the nose was the mouth at first because I couldn't see the mouth very well.
I love your creativity and think this picture is a success for the most part! Well done!

Yeah, this guy have some value to me.
The cane is actually a crutch.
Its supposed to be of a metal rod bent in a shape, then covered by cloth. The cloth being the same typ of cloth he wear.
Well aware of the colors but the race as the character is part of do have very sterile palettes when it comes to certain things, clothing being one.
Thanks for telling me that, I'll keep it in mind.
Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Hm, there is a lot going on with this character who is doing very little, kind of strange for me to see, but otherwise a nice drawing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Is that a bad thing? Could you perhaps expand on it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I mean people get away with it just fine.
But I always felt that when you design a character, everything needs a shade of balance. Otherwise it just becomes so much noise. There is just so much going on with this character that clashes in my eyes.
But again, still a good picture, so don't take what I say as a negative. I mean it is quite clear this is a chimera so clashing makes sense.

So what do you think is the most overwhelming factor for your eyes?
Nah, man. I am just glad I got a comment by someone who gives proper feedback and I am trying to make the most use of it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mostly the glowy horns are the most overwhelming
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A sudden burst of bright colors, eh? Well, alright, fair enough.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Also the snake tail, but that's a common chimera trait, however usually the color difference isn't nearly as glaring.
Either way, have a nice day.

It has more down to earth colors.
