Description He wants to play!

This creature's DNA comes from mostly feline and reptilian sources...with a bit of avian DNA thrown in. The feline comes from a lion, the avian a secretary bird, and the reptilian, a komodo dragon.

The florescent colors were a surprise, surmised to be a mutated recessive gene forced to prominence--something like an albino trait.

This was a lot of fun to make, and it came out well enough.

So Cool!
I love the monster, and the porportions you drew him (or her) with.
The only thing I think would help is some line art. That usually makes the picture look alittle crisper, and easier to look at.
Besides that, Nicely done!

Hehe thanks much! Some of my art has the line art kept in but mostly I try to make them mor realistic without the line art. it's tough to do, though hehe.

Soooo not stealthy with that kind of green XDDD

Unless it's a jungle creature. In which case I'd fear for my well-being!

shadow-wolf-nenna [2010-05-20 09:58:17 +0000 UTC]

absolutley loving the colours! Very funky , like how you gave him a sort of iguana tail and that mischievious grin! xD um...the eyes..the spines yeah very very good anatomy
the only thing I would say though as you requested critique is the shiny black claws contrast a little too much with the otherwise somewhat natural colour scheme, maybe make them brown or grey? Just a bit more subtle and also the skin texture makes it look a little like fabric or someone in a costume and I wouldn't give quite so much shine on the tail
but sorry! I hate putting this down because it really is wonderful, it depends what you were going for as after taking a closer look it appears to intentionally hold that abscract brightly coloured, outstanding childrens picture book (I'm not so good with words) feel so if that's what you were going for then great but if you were going for the realistic approach then I would have a TINY bit less contrast and add a bit more shading
I hope I helped
wonderful work!!

Hey thanks for the great comments! I'll have a look at those tomorrow when my brain is working right. I was going for a sort of florescent color. Unnatural on purpose. But I might try and tone the contrast down a little bit and see if I like it better. Thanks again for the the critique!
