Oh, sheesh. You know, I made sure to note it was a quickie so someone wouldn't have to waste time writing something like that... I'm well aware of everything that could be considered wrong with it. But it's just a quick job, and obviously still very rough. It was just some random practice, trying to get the species to look recognizable, and one of the sketches I made turned out okay enough for me to consider uploading, so I did!
In all honesty, I don't know what a trapezius is. (Well, I do now, but only after looking it up.) The line on the muzzle and throat wouldn't even be necessary in a colorless picture since the type of creature has two or more colors, the one on the front often contrasting nicely to the rest of the body, and the lines that would outline the inner color were really just thrown in to make it more recognizable as a kuvrahk. The stuff that seems thrown in without much effort is just that. It looked empty so I drew some lines, checked my reference and agreed that Casey had drawn it in a similar way, so I kept it. The eyes look like they do in the comic the creature derives from, and is also consistent with how I've drawn eyes the past five years or so. The hair... took a few minutes to do. Once I did it, I realized it gave the impression of a deformed head, but I didn't bother remaking it since it doesn't matter.
Dodging the lower body simply happened because I originally just tried to make the head recognizable, but ended up throwing in a body too. I ran out of virtual canvas space at the hip, so I cut it off there and made a fadey thing to make it less harsh.
Heh, I feel like I'm trying to defend myself. I'm not. I just kinda wish people wouldn't expect anatomical perfection from a piece that I've already described as a touched up version of a rouch, quick sketch.
And regarding some of the anatomical comments, refer to the link I gave to Casey's site for references. It's a webcomic with a very nice simplistic style that I really like, so of course I kept in touch with that when drawing my own character of that same species. I bet I could do more detailed stuff if I needed to, but I don't want to. I much prefer looking at more simplistic styles, as I've already said.
[edit] Though, thanks for commenting... I do appreciate that. [/edit]
