Description Burdens begets shoulders. Shoulders begets burdens. A younger me would have complained loudly every step of the way.

This is another sketch I enjoyed throwing some color on.

This is an excellent proverb Vex, I love it! A much more somber alternative to "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger". And indeed, no struggle is a bad one so long as it helps us grow!

I love the philosophy, and your picture here makes it even better. Great work on this drawing! From the rippling muscles to the tufted tail, there are lots of great details here and the pose is perfect. I see lots of improvement in your anatomy, too, so keep up the great work! Makes me wanna... FLEX. (⇀‸↼‶)ᕤ

Random thought: I love the physical differences between Vex and Teneo. One is lean and smooth, the other is powerful and bulky. Woo contrast!

Thank you very much! I read it somewhere and I knew I had to draw a Teneo to it. As far as anatomy goes, I'm rather happy with this. I suppose full sideview isn't the most challenging, though. If I have one argument, it would be that I should have been more daring with the colors. It's not a coincidence, the physical differences between the lion form and the dragon form. What would be the point of having two forms with similar characteristics? No, if it's worth the effort of transforming, there should be a practical and significant reason to do so.

Wanne have a FLEX-OFF with this guy?!?! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ Hahahaa!

Ey, you're very welcome Vex. Your anatomy is definitely coming along, it's impressive so stick to it!  Would you like some critique on your colors and shading? If so, I think your lighting could use a little bit more direction. Here's a good tutorial ! Shading is something I'm still learning myself... it's hard, especially with lots of muscle!

Speaking of muscles, HELL YEAH FLEX-OFF. 💪 💪 💪 Not sure if that's fair or not... poor Neo ain't a size-shifter, ahaha!

Youknowwhat?! I must just sketch that! Of course we'll lock T into an appropriate size. Thanks for the link. I should probably look up a tutorial on how glowing objects work...

Oh gosh that's an awesome idea! I would love to see that, and I must sketch something in return. I CHALLENGE YOU TO BATTLE. *flex* >:D

You did already sketch a gift for me some time ago. Though, not turning down anything here, Haa! So, You're On, Buddy! Currently, Neo is looking slightly more anthro in my sketch than in your art... I'll tinker some more with it and then show you before I post anything.

Oh gosh, well I'd love to see it! Especially with Neo as an anthro, I've tried to do that myself but I've always debated how to approach it-- one of those tough things about having a persona who's also their own character ahaha. May serve as some good inspiration for me, so have fun with it!
