More from bluefire_dragonz
I've been wanting a solid reference of Chey since my mate started to play him, but this is the first time we've gotten something down that he said is 'almost perfect'. xD he's so particular about everything, but it just makes me want to DO IT BETTER D<
The dark blue is hair that blends into his scruff along the back of his neck and is tipped in black. Its longer than typical wolf scruff, but its not quite hair. He wants the ref given some gray to show that he's an older character, but sadly that's beyond my ability to make look good. I also realize that the front view may be waaaaay fucked up, but I did my best to make a front view of a beak. If anyone has any suggestions, they'd be appreciated. I don't draw a lot of beaks, or even a lot of full on face pics either...
On a fun note, Chey's blue eyes fade to steel gray when he's upset or angry. :B But they're blue here because we'll assume that he's looking at ME. lolz. Hopefully, we'll see a full body pic sometime soon with the correct look and markings.
For those that don't know, Chey is a lycanogryph, or a gryph that is wolf/bird, rather than cat/bird. He's also the mate/husband/lover of Bluefire Dragonheart, my main character and fursona.

Unexpected discovery this was to see upon browsing such other items of artistic derivation. Severing the formalities I have browsed your other works in comparison to this; simplicity is your crutch.
There is feeling in this picture, and that is certain by detail; but the lack of completeness contrasted to other works can be forgiven only at what you are attempting to make.
Suggestion by constructive criticism should not harm your overall progress if I may; Granted that it is a first attempt you have laid ground work to the next attempts, and that is certain you shall at this point. More detail; more depth to feathers and fur respectively to make a vivid interpretation of the subject. This drawing radiates that you held skill back, but browsing recent entries too dictates the matter more. Push yourself.
Your fun facts due hold some merit; but to see what you have made your fursona as of late by title does make my stomach cringe. That by opinion only refers to what presumably Bluefire may come to be terms as known: doormat.

I'm surprised that you feel so welcome to make comments on my artistic methods, when you haven't even been on FA for more than two days. I also don't know what makes you think its appropriate to accuse my work of slipping, of my quality dropping, compared with older pictures.
As for adding detail and the fact that this is a simple picture, its that way because its a REFERENCE. Shading and feather or fur detail would detract from precise layout of his markings as well as the true color of them.
For all your over-blown, n00bish language, you sound a lot like someone I blocked from my gallery, and you'll end up blocked just as hard unless you can think of a polite way to give 'constructive criticism'. I'm not asking for opinions on the subject matter, but on ways to improve what I'm trying to do, for the purpose I'm doing it for.

Now I am certain it is you after all this time. One must say the words necessary to determine the more adequate response to their liking. My condolences on trampling into your sanctuary. Be that as it may with different time zones; I may wager that you are still in the United States? China is this one's home while I am not required to be on duty. Your talent has grown in what you can put into focus, but it lacks realism. The drawings come across cartoonish and lack that quality. Sitting in a few expos while avoiding the snowfall I can say what I wish to solely on the fact of what it is; my opinion. As an artist if you may call it this does not warrant I am fueling attacks of a novice, but indeed relishing my input on your work. I did not feel to tediously comment on every piece until your current as that would be a waste of time.
Now your other comments as to what I have said requires little effort in apology. If I am like another perhaps I am not alone in view to certain aspects as to what to expect when greeted by commentary of the maker. Stray away from excessive flattery which the comment does contain. Granted you care of this individual; it secludes others enjoyment of your work, and some will voice it. I see rage in your words which I do show some remorse for; use that into your work to weave a masterpiece; emotion does wonders when properly channeled. There is the criticism in a polite manner for you, may it prove helpful.

good lord, cartoonish is just fine. when she wants reality, she uses it. sheesh.
as far as how emotional she gets, well.. it is a very stange artist that dosen't get emotional about their own work.
you speak a lot but say less.
filling the scrren with words does not mean it makes sense, or is any more imporatant.

*snickers* xD
As to the picture, its an attempt at blending a wolf with a shrike. Personally, I might have drawn it differently, but that was the way he wanted it. I'm just happy that I got it mostly right. The colors, of course, are purely his design. xD
I'm thinking I should have made the scruff on the back of his neck thicker... I dunno.
