Here’s one I started of Joseph and Amelia when Amelia is sick.

@ellette-giselle

Ah. No, I don’t tend to do that.

Okay. It did take some time to get used to, but it has helped me improve my drawing a bit.

I can send a few sketches I started last night. Some are finished while some are still in the outline stage.

Sure!

@linus-smallprint

awesome!

@linus-smallprint okay, ideas!

• Arctic: This is cliche, but bears (with grizzly, polar, and black variants) would be cool. Or a semi-aquatic, fisherman race of seals.
• Asia: Red pandas, turtles, Asian elephants, or the flying dragon lizard might be cool.
• Oceans: This is gonna be hard if you want your creatures to retain some form of humanity.…

Thanks! I will start posting things on here probably on Monday, Febuary 3. My goal is to get through all of this in a month so I can start writing the first draft in March.

@hybridlore

UGH! Wyoh just did it to me a few minutes ago!! She’s horrid.

I think it could add some really cool elements. Maybe he does try to stop them, maybe he refuses to do something they tell him to do. idk. However it happens, I feel like it could add some cool levels.

@linus-smallprint

I’ll help!

@linus-smallprint

See, I never liked using those manikins. I have one, but for some reason I don’t like them. *shrug*

Here is an example from a sketch I am currently working on

Ah. No, I don’t tend to do that.

@whalekeeper

Do you have a plan for the front cover? (Ignore this question if you’re swamped with thoughts for the illustrations XD)

Still trying to figure that out. This is what I am currently using, and I may do something similar to this in the end (with a background, coloured, and fully developed of course. I still need to learn and practice d…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint I have a tiny one of those. You’re right, they’re good for basic poses, but mine at least is nowhere near the amount of flexibility for the poses I have my characters in much of the time.

@linus-smallprint what regions of the world are you missing?

@ellette-giselle

This is the manikin I mention. He is helpful for posing, but not as flexible as I would prefer him to be:

@ellette-giselle

I’m not sure what you mean by outline. I do young sketches, see if I like the drawing, and then move from there.

Basically a simple form of the drawing I use to decide where things will all go and to help me get the proportions right. It’s useful because if I make a mistake here, for example, make the arms to long, or draw the h…[Read more]

@keilah-h

have you thought of a chameleon race or are you gonna stick to the lizards all being Australian water dragons?

I don’t know. I still haven’t thought of any more races other than the ones that are already in there, except possibly a horse-like one. So I still have seven out of thirteen slots open.

@linus-smallprint

Your art does look good. I’m a little thrown off because the picture you took of it is a little tilted, but they do look balanced when I tilt my head to match.

thanks! yeah I think I took that picture with my tablet camera, and my tablet is huge so it’s hard to stabilize.

Here is my expertly made pronunciation guide:

Forgot your tag in the previous post

@whalekeeper

Bro, the art is super good. You’re dedicated and it clearly shows; well done.

Thank you!

Ooh, nice! His cowl is cool!

Thanks! After I drew the first two full-body references, I looked at him and thought ‘he really needs something around his neck’. His cowl is the only part of his clothing that I’m settled on.

@loopylin

That piece of artwork you have there looks cool. Is that a sheep in wolf’s clothing? Do you have the finished version?
