Hey, don't be too harsh, HTTYD had a character called Hiccup after all. Also, I love this artpiece!

Those are 2 completely different things

Sorry, I didn't know that. But the name does sound hilarious :D

Ya it gives the species a joke reputation =_=

Thanks. That's what I love about names. It can be anything and it'll work. Just need abit of time to get accustomed to it.

I just wanted to say that I love your work. It's getting better and better, the ideas and characters are varied and even the stuff from the "fetish" spectrum looks good and wholesome when done by you (cake and sauna are fun examples ^^). Keep it up and stay awesome!

I appreciate it! And yeah I do get burned out quite quickly if I work on the same theme over and over, so I like to keep my workload varied. Never get tired of drawing dragons though.

Because they are clearly superior to everything else! And they can have all the features one can like, feathers, scales, fur, WINGS!

Charrs have strict rules with their names

Strict rules are boring though.

Hell no. It keeps the species professional

It's fantasy, friend. Very few, if any, people are gonna look down onto a whole species because a few names are silly. There's really no reason to get worked up over this. If you wanna argue it's not a traditional or canon name, that's fine but Rimentus can name his characters whatever he wants.

Fine, but disregarding the species rules is rude

No, barging into someone else's pic to tell them they named their character wrong is rude.

First off, what rules did he actually break? None that I know of. If it's something about being silly, there's no such thing that's been firmly established. And Klepto's surname here is a compound name that describes his role in the Batter warband quite well. After all, are there not already other Charr with relatively silly names that are 100% canon? (I.e. Guzzlemaw for a Charr who really likes to drink?)

Ultimately though, I have to agree with this just being fantasy and done in good fun. There's no sense in being overly serious about something that is, at its core, entertainment. And how many actual Charr players in game do you think don't adhere to the rules? Are they all being rude? Naw, they're just playing the way they want to.

I can respect people if they wish to stick by the strict rules when it comes to the naming culture. That's their choice. But I also respect people if they wish to explore a naming system for a Charr that's not bound by the rules. That's their choice too. Elitism stifles creativity. It's healthy to laugh at people being stupid sometimes rather than take offense.

Wow Rim, you've REALLY been improving a lot this past year! Been really upping your game on the details, shading, and backgrounds! Really love the diversity of colors in this image! The scales vs. floof contrast looks amazing too! Really amazing job! ^^

Thank you. Yeah I'm happy with the colours in this. It's all warm and fuzzy. Ive grown to enjoy working on all the little details like the scale and fur.

We'll probably see a great difference in your techniques with drawing fur, probably in a couple of months from now. :P But I can agree with the colours there, and I'm glad you have found yourself to enjoy drawing those little tidbits!

Warm and fuzzy in more ways than one lol. I can definitely tell you've grown to like them as it really shows in the end result! I've always love your fur and scale details and they have definitely been improving a lot ^^

Ohmygod you do Charr...i might faint.

i think, it's my third attempt at it. But yeah I like drawing Charr for the same reasons I like drawing dragons. Big, tough, brutish etc etc.

Well, you do them justice!

They say that one's last name is based off of a prominent event or trait in that bloodline, you know.

Legend states that if one says "Who wants to lick the bowl" after baking, Klepto materializes to the mortal plane to fulfill his namesake.

This is the first time i've seen your art, but wow, this looks really,really great! The way you've done the paws, the hair and the raptor's expression in particular just really struck me. And i love your character's name, i can imagine what kind of adventures in the fahrar inspired that name xD

Thank you! I'm still fairly new to drawing charr. But I do enjoy it, as it does encourage me to practice more anthro art, which is another rarity from me. But I do like the idea of drawing more charr in the future as personal art or commission stuff.

As for naming inspiration...those who lick batter are often ones who appreciate that nothing goes to waste, not even a little drop. To remain resourceful and make do with what little we have in life, and enjoy every little moment :P

That's a very nice sentiment that i find can definitely get behind! I haven't gotten around to making a fully fleshed out character yet with matching backstory, but hearing your inspiration certainly has giving me food for thought about exploring the paths less traveled! c:

I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future ^^

they do look like the best of friends :D

Awwh, this is really cute~
Not going to lie, I was really hoping Anet would give us more "Mount-Based Chairs" like the skyscale and jackal ones. Though I did wish they would use the character's custom skins on them too.
I know I've said it, and a lot of others have as well, but you do Charr (and raptors) wonderfully Rem~ It's nice to see you do more ^^

Those mounts do make the best chairs hmm? And thanks. I do enjoy drawing em.
