Title: Chimera Wip
Post by: eqko on November 14, 2006, 07:57:27 pm
seeing as you lot here seem to be chockfull of very usefull advise I thought
I'd throw in my wip for the chimera thing, see what thoughts/advice is to be had  :)

Right now it's a combo between a Meerkat and a Cat, but I usually like to evolve my 'art' so who knows what it'd evolve in.

As it is now, the outline and outline color is a tad too dark. You should either make the sel-out(I think?) darker or make the dark lines lighter.

yeah the dark outline is much to dark, but as it is now it's just still a visual reference and will disappear altogether
(at least made less dark)

oh and .... ooh I like that porcupine idea might see what could come of that

haha, the squid parts gives me the creeps, although I think they look more like rat-tails or worms! Great idea, would love a cat like that(without the tentacles :P though)

Reminds me to davi jones from Pirates of the Caribbean sea :P
hmm my only comment is that the shadow in the left arm needs some work.

Haha, thats looking nice and twisted. I reckon change the tail to be more squidlike, maybe. Looking jagged in a number of places (ears, tail, paws, its right arm and the body, etc) so maybe some AA on those areas. The legs don't seem to match...the foremost leg appears to have a lack of knee that the other has.
Oh and maybe give it kind of squidish cloudy eyes...its just looking far too wise atm. Maybe not use such a white white for the cat fur, give it some more interesting tint...

good points there ...

altho the lack of knee is a visual thing your looking right on top of the knee the lowerpart of the leg is hidden by it.
might look into those other points other then AA which is still just a term for me and not something I do with comfort.
