*sneak sneak* Loping! One of these days I'll do his ears properly as everybody mistakes them for horns (It's just I end up being lazy and it all goes to pot). Saying so via email as well but thank you muchly! You certainly didn't have to given I got time caught but I do much appreciate since it's always great to see how people take the Notalope design given he is a bit, well, Lopey. He's a tricky bugger but I love drawing him :3 Thanks again!

Thanks, I love winged creatures too! Here's a sketch for Karu Dragon, as they did sketch something for me in my old trading post too and I never got around to thanking them :3 It's their creature, a "Notalope" ... hehee ... although I made the antlers way too small. Eep!! Creature design of this guy is (C) to Karu ... I just drew him :B

Yaaay! ^.^ I was going to nag you about working further on that kitty gargoyle thing but you beat me to the punch. Hehe. Really loved the sketch and like how it's coming along! I'm a sucker for things with wings. Hehe.

*stagger* *gasp* I live!! Here's a very late contribution to SpiritWolf's old trading post. :B She did something for mine so I wanted to return the favor. It's her character Kaid ...

I think I know what you mean, I am tweaking it a little before starting to colour :3 Thanks for your feedback!

Wow, yeah that's a lot better all around I think! :) Can't wait to see it colored too, get to add some dramatic shadows cast by his wings or something maybe. Hehe. Only thing left I'm not sure about is the position of his tail. From where it's positioned, it seems to kinda be poking out from his leg rather than coming out from behind him? I'm not positive though, might just be me...

Whee! Thanks man! Yes I see what you mean, and I tried to fix that. I also fiddled with the feet, and I did do a horizontal flip ... he's leaning a bit leftwards but hopefully it doesn't look too off? I also added some joints to the wings, heh. I can't wait to start colouring this :B ... but I'll wait to see if anyone has more feedback ^^ He's supposed to be sitting on a building-top of some sort, like a gargoyle.

I'm so bad at giving feedback but a couple things jumped out at me initially. Where the front paws are resting seems on a different plane than where the back feet are resting it seems and don't seem as flat on the floor as they might be. Also where the tops of the front arms are connected to the chest...seems the inside lines of the arms are going up too high, like going too far into the chest and I believe on the quadruped type the chest is usually more broad and out in front of the top of the front legs. I dunno if I'm describing it right. Hehe. http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/7615/scoobydoo018vl.gif There's an idea of what I mean I think. Gotta love Scooby Doo. ;) But like how his chest is more sticking out in front of the legs. I just think need to bring the lines on the inside of the arms down more. That being said, I love how you're doing the wings on him! They're coming along great I think. :)

Ah .. thanks! ^^ I shall fix the front paws on the final outline. The back ones I meant to be in different positions, but I guess it didn't work out the way I wanted it to ... I'll see if I can't do something about it to make it look better. I'll do the flip thing as well, thanks for the advice :3 Anyone else? I would love more feedback!

I know nothing about feral anatomy, so I can't really help you there. I'd say double check with a horizontal flip, and also do the double check on how even each side is (in terms of size)--I did notice that the back "knees" (whatever they are called) seem to be different sizes, as well as the front paws. That said, I really like this sketch! So looking forward to seeing the finished product!

Wow ... long time no post! I've been quite busy lately it seems. But I DID finally get a tablet. Yes!! Here is my first effort with the thing ... I would love some critique on this before I go any further, mainly on the anatomy! Thanks :3

Thanks Vizon =] WolfReign, they're only that clean when I'm drawing simple things that don't require a lot of lines, like monster silhouettes ... hee. And thanks!
