2006-08-17 [Sebhar]: Mutual hopes, now!

2006-08-17 [Draymond]: *chuckles* So much in common...

2006-08-17 [Sebhar]: I know!

2006-08-17 [Draymond]: Its brilliant...I love it. 

2006-08-17 [Sebhar]: Me too ^_^

2009-12-10 [*Phoenix*]: oohhhh. Very nice!!!!!!!!!!

2009-12-10 [Draymond]: Thanks! I should get around to finishing it. ^^

2009-12-10 [*Phoenix*]: yes you should...although it's pretty awesome right now...

2010-01-17 [Silver Moon]: nice

2010-04-28 [Draymond]: Yay for new art and an all nighter! Why is it that I do this to myself? XD Inked lineart...as you can see details have been omitted (obviously). I'll be getting Photoshop (hence the reason for an inked lineart) and I can also use this image to make variations.

Body stock photo reference used for torso/arms. Legs, neck, head, tail, paws = original.

2010-04-28 [The Dizzy Raven]: That's very good! :D so are you editing it on photoshop? what are your plans?

2010-04-28 [Draymond]: Most likely. But before I acquire it I'll probably do a second scan to fill in the cut off details from the scanner, and then proceed to do two versions of pencil shading.
The idea is to do multiple versions without actually tampering with the original piece.

2010-04-28 [The Dizzy Raven]: can't you do that on ms paint?

That's a cool idea :)

2010-04-28 [Draymond]: I'll end up having to crop the two pieces together that way, yes. It'll be interesting, because I own a Mac. The computer downstairs is a 5 year old Dell that has recently needed its hard drive wiped and the operating system reloaded. It was giving me a time just getting a good scan, so we'll see how paint goes with tagging the rest on. 
I'll upload an update if I"m able to do that.

The idea will cause me to do more work if I do it all by traditional media. If I can do it all by digital, its a simple matter of swapping out and changing details between each version. 

2010-04-28 [The Dizzy Raven]: ok :) that's great

Alright ^_^. Well, I can't wait to see how it goes

2010-04-28 [Draymond]: Any suggestions as to how to improve things? I'm a bit finicky about the right paw and perhaps some of the musculature on the legs...any suggestions?

2010-04-28 [The Dizzy Raven]: It looks great to me! Though the tail looks a little ridgidy and he might need teeth to chew his food :)

2010-04-28 [The Dizzy Raven]: a little bit of facial scales would look good too. like for texture

2010-04-28 [The Dizzy Raven]: but that's your choice ^_^

2010-04-28 [Draymond]: LoL Teeth...ah...yes, I forgot those. XD

As far as scales go, Draygun, Erindor, and Evosias don't have them. Their hide is hybridized to provide the protection of scales both thermally and mechanically, but has all the benefits of skin (minus blemishes). LoL

2010-04-28 [The Dizzy Raven]: lol ^_^ teeth!!!

lol alright, sounds good *thumbs up* ^_^
