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.
Thanks for looking!

Re: Sketches and other~
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!

Re: Sketches and other~
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.

Re: Sketches and other~
Thank you so much. I really appreciate the proper and perfect critique! I'm also glad you liked them. I'll take into account what you've mentioned and try out a few different things in the futureMightyOak wrote:The proportions are quite good in all three of these.
