Sketches and other~

Post by Morphy »

Just going to dump a few of my odd sketches here - Always happy for critique, but mind that these are a teeny bit old :) Some of them would be amazing creatures. This is all original artwork.

Might I be the first to say those are fabulous? Like, seriously, those are so much better than the dragons I draw. Sure, mind look all right, but they're basic sketches with no color... Yours are so much better and I look forward to seeing anything else you post!

Anytime. Your art is great. I'll see if I can draw anything the scanner can scan to post...

The proportions are quite good in all three of these. The swirly fox/dragon looking creature is very creative and the shapes really capture a sense of movement. I am slightly concerned that none of these creatures have eyes.? A personal, artistic choice? Just curious on this one.

In the form of critique I would say that your unicorns fore legs have a bit of an odd shape. The elbow joint should be a bit higher and the ankle joint should be a touch lower. Being so close together gives the fore legs a "wet noodle" look. Oddly floppy legs, you know? Other than that one thing, I really like it.

Just plain ol' love the foxy type critter there.

The last one kind of looks like a horned hound of some kind? I think the whole image would have benefited from having the front legs stretch out further forward. I think it would help to make the image more dynamic. The back legs are a bit too humanly shaped. And for simple practicality, the horns go too far down for the creature to even be able to walk. If this is an aesthetic choice, I can understand, but then the hound creature needs to be in a different position so that the length of the antlers isn't so jarring. Overall, though, I find this to be very creature and I particularly like the way you've done the fur.

-I have a few donation creatures thanks to the generosity of others. If anyone would like to borrow one or more to breed for themselves, please contact me. It's free. Image

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the proper and perfect critique! I'm also glad you liked them. :wave: I'll take into account what you've mentioned and try out a few different things in the future :D
