Description Well over the past week or so I kind of invented a new form of gnoll. I am still coming up with the background to them but so far they are a reclusive sort who were used as a navy.
They are based on striped hyenas.

Anyway, I thought it might be fun to show the development process of the races physical design.

So yeah, navy gnolls now exist- almost.
Any questions or comments are welcome.

By the Will of the Forgotten!

Some one finally presented a near exact concept that is almost the same in design as my words for "Revenge". Pyro, this is phenominal, you actually have presented me (With the Stage 6 model) with one of the many creatures that I wrote about (Not specifically your race or beings, but the anatomy is startling accurate, the racial simularities are accidental.)

Pyro, you along with a few other Artists I have met here, have succsesfully shown me what some of these creatures might actually look like.

To be exact as to what I'm saying, Pyro, is that you have ressurected and continued my writing. That stage 6 model is almost exactly like a Hyena Chimera Marine, minus a helmet and some combat boots. (Of course the weapons differ, but the physical simularities are honestly close.)

Please send me a note so I can further understand this.

I certainly will! I'm glad I could have been of accidental assistance.

That's a great series of steps for thinking of making new races.

You could try putting it on

Heh, thanks. not really a tutorial though, just a process walk though of mine. I don't know enough about drawing to write tutorials about it.
