Practising creatures [sketch added]

[Jacques]

A couple ideas for creatures i'm working on. The idea is to put a sadle with a lady on top... But first things first, the creature. The last one was coloured in painter/wacom.

really well done, i have't got anything else to say man. But away from critiques they look awesome, keep 'em coming.

not bad. though you might want to give a pit of a 3/4 for the motster .. the profiles are great for design, but the 3/4 gives it personality a bit. That and a little more flare on the page.

Good painting on the last, but those caracters are not much original

[Jacques]

Thanks very much for the honesty. Your right about the pose and the originality. I got the bad habit of tending to keep on the save side with the designs, I'm working on changing that!

i really like em. big improvement with these ones over the others. these ones just seem more solid.

for poses and stuff.. ya might want to download some pics of fourlegged and twolegged animals.

keep it up. your doin great.

[Danilo]

Try studding real animals with theirs natural anatomy. It seems that your characters (even they are interesting) looks unnatural (like chest on 3). Maybe you could make more pic for one character, from different angles.
