Sorry to those who got rickroll'd, that link originally lead to my Furry Art Pile page and when Ekigyuu took Furry Art Pile down, he set the domain to redirect to the rickroll youtube page. That's better than the page with the Javascript internal feedback loop, though.
Anyway, that's right! In this magical furry world of mine--the same one in which everyone wears a tie and drives an electric Studebaker--the digital and plantigrade coexist peacefully! They just have to use different tailors. I can't believe people have fights over this, you can have both.
The big yellow guy is Rookram, his species might change later. He's not very interesting, though. Jade seems to be your favorite, Koor seems to have a lot of lady fans which is good because he's the only straight one, and Vermilion is fun to draw. Y'all like Vermilion, right? I can draw him nude at some point. I should give y'all a nude Koor at some point too.
Alright, this picture is two things. Firstly, it's a study in wrinkles, a subject about which I found a helpful book. I haven't really drawn real wrinkly clothes before, so I thought I'd try it out. I was feeling good earlier because there aren't many furries what can do backgrounds, clothing is something furries really can't do. (Silver Fenrir is awesome at clothing, though.) And secondly, it's professing the superiority of suspenders. It's just a better way of keeping your slacks up. You just gotta tuck in your shirt. I know that sounds horribly uncomfortable, but you know, they used to do it all the time. And not just for church or anything, they did it everyday.
Koor's and Jade's wings change size depending on where I draw them.
B.T.W.: All you furry muscle guys, it really looks better if you don't draw an outline for every single muscle. You have to think about what shapes warrant an outline, a muscle is just a slight bulge under the skin with no abrupt change in depth, worthy of a stroke of highlight and a stroke of shading when you're coloring, but in plain line-art most of the muscles really don't create enough of a variation in the surface of the skin to get their own outlines. There are much sharper variations in depth that take place on clothing that y'all completely ignore.
You know, if I ever start doing a comic strip, (which is what I've been trying do for the last eight years,) y'all are going to have to live with inconsistencies in character designs. I drew Koor with one more wing finger than usual, (what the Hell are those called?) and I really have no intention of getting piercings and ear nicks figured out.
I have no idea when or why I decided Koor should have a mohawk. Come to think of it I'm not sure when I decided Vermilion should have four arms. In fact, I can't remember when I came up with those two, they've just always been around. I spend a lot of time in fantasy-land, whenever I'm bored, trying to get to sleep, or doing something that doesn't require all of my brain. That's why I have a dozen characters when I don't write and I don't R.P. I just play with them in my head all day long. Koor and Vermilion are the oldest, they've been around as long as I can remember. Of course, ten years ago they were completely different species and sizes and had completely different professions and personalities. Still the same characters in my mind, it's like the man who claimed to own George Washinton's axe, he only had to replace the head three times and the handle seven times.
LONGEST SYNOPSIS EVAR.

He's ten feet tall! Least he would be if he'd stand up straight. He also weighs half a long ton and can benchpress a Studebaker. Vermilion keeps trying to get in his pants. I should draw a picture of that.
The book's called Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery by Burne Hogarth. You're gonna have to find your own groove as far as muscels go. I've got the same five anatomy books everyone has, any used book store will have them, but they aren't very helpful. Just practice and remember to draw the stuff you aren't good at.

Great characters, each one is colored beautifully and has a distinct personality shining in their face. The lighting is great and brings out the curves and bulges in the figures, especially on your green dragon. *lifts up your human self on his big, broad shoulders and spins you around*
