Description Felt like it. Cool idea for a Chimera. Might go for it. Dunno.

Hey you fellow commenter!  Here's an official comment!
So much imagination! Originality is top notch here!
Your drawing skills are on point as well. The lines are really clean. The different animal parts are really believable.
I really did not get the spider abdomen at first and the webs made me think of puppet strings which was very puzzling until I read the title. I really like the idea of a web spinning chimera, but I think I would have tried to make the web look sticky or shiny somehow, maybe by giving it a slight glow.
I like the pose. It's really dynamic and interesting.
I also think you could have put more detail into the face because it feels a little simplistic compared to the rest. The face is a central part of any character. It draws attention and deserves to have time spent on it.
Overall, though, great job!

This is an interesting character idea. I can’t quite tell all of the inspiration behind him, but I’ve got spider, some sort of bird, a canine, and then ram horns. I think you did a good job of blending so many different elements together into one creature, although it might be a little cluttered with so many ideas. Then again that just might make people stop and want to learn more about your character and what the inspiration behind him was!


Your lineart is really nice to look at, it’s all very clean and sharp. I think you could have played more with using some thicker lines to give some interest to the picture. I like your use of thinner lines in the details of the legs and cloth, so making some of the outline thicker (maybe in the spider webs to show where it’s sticky or on his back or arms to give him some weight) would help to flesh it out a bit more.


The pose is interesting for the viewer, it’s almost dance-like in the movement. I like how the sharp angles in his legs contrast with the softer curve of his back and arms. I don’t quite understand what he’s doing or how he’s doing it - because there is no background I can suspend my disbelief at him not falling over, but it still seems like a bit of a strange position and activity. Is he harvesting his own silk? Is he pretending to play with threads of fate? Is he doing something far less innocent? What are those things floating behind him and what is their purpose? There’s a lot of questions that come to mind which I think is a good thing, it generates curiosity.


I think you did a good job with the anatomy overall, even with the different animal parts it all seems believable and blends together seamlessly. The only part that stands out to me is the thumb on his left hand. It looks like it’s cut off at the tip instead of bending inwards - I think hinting at the second segment and showing us the overlap would make more sense for the position that it’s in.


I think you have shown a unique character that is able to spark interest in your viewers because of his varied features and mysterious action. It’s a very clean, easy to read image that invites speculation from your audience. Keep up the good work!

The inspiration behind is actually quite simple. "Slap everything I like into one thing". Named after the mythical creature chimera, which was a bunch of animals merged together. I must work on the face more as people tend to see a canine instead of a feline.

I have tried using different thickness types for the lineart but I never like the result so I tend to stick with a more cohesive size throughout. Although I sometimes think the lines are too thick unlike what you think.

He is floating. Concept being that they can fly in a manner similar to a zero gravity environment. Magic! But yeah, it was just a concept of a character and I thought of doing some weird-ass position. It was all very experimental so there is no much thought behind it. The things behind him are his wings.

I'll put more effort into defining the fingers a bit next time. Think of it as being bending inwards towards the palm.

Thank you for your comment. I'll make sure to return it.

Hey I found this the in the "Give and Get 1 Comment, 4-5 Lines" folder of ProjectComment . So here's my comment

The idea is really pretty awesome.
The style of you lineart is prette neat. Maybe a little more thickness now and then.
The anatomy works quite good but I think the border betwenn the for and the feet is to abrupt.
The streaks of the fur should face the direction the leg goes.

Hope this is helpful

Any opinions on why you think the idea is awesome?
And here I am thinking the lines are too thick.
Between the for and the feet? For being the knee or?

It is but I am going to dig deeper.

it's awesome because you got a elements of a spider, bird, dog-like creature and it is all in a more anthro style.
never imagined chimera with the body type of a human.

okay i see the thing about the lines. i didn't zoom in before sorry.

yeah the knee.. sometimes brain is odd..
but the point was that the fur doesn't look right. it should follow the movement of the leg
