Yay for scans

This is quite sweet. I love the action that was put in this.

Quite dynamic. A good job on his wings too.

so beautiful*admires the great creativity used in creating this pic*

I think there was a little TOO MUCH detail on this image. Until I figured out the lines in the background were to illustrate a wind and an updraft, I was under first impression it was supposed to be a mountain. (Couldn't catch where the rest of the tail was as it's under the wing. Didn't notice it at first.)


Now, before anything, I'm going to have to say that the concept is different. Can't quite say I've seen a foxbat in a while. And one where the wings looks like they would be able to be arms of their own in the realistic fashion. (Reminding me of Man-Bat from Batman.) That said, going to have to tell you that the outfit is pretty cool. With the hair, he kind of has that Don Juan look to him in that particular pose. It's an open shirt and flowing jeans..yeah it does give off that Don Juan look with the flowing hair as well. (All he really needs is to be carrying a rose in his teeth and fox bat or not, it'd be pretty much set.)


Going back to the wings, good job on showing how they came out his back forcefully! His shirt's ripped in the back, so unless that was a fashion statement at the time, that showing that they just sprung out his back, and I like that. The only thing is that you took waaaaay too much time in giving detail to the bat wings. I mean, the anatomy of the arms is one thing. But the veins in the membranes too? Don't get me wrong. Detailed artwork is one thing. But there should be the line you cut off at before it starts looking like National Geographic. (I can even see the individual bones of the 'fingers.') Might have overdone it. Juuuuuust a bit.


This is a cool picture to me, seriously. The pose rocks, the character looks too much like who I mentioned, and the wings are ridiculously well detailed. (I'm talking comic book deadline detailed...) I can respect the work that went into this but Jesus. I think I'd dislocate my wrist trying to be that precise. And this is an OLD picture. :P

It was a convention sketch too. I should have spent a third of the time I did on it for the price I was charging. Sometimes I need to put extra detail on foreground elements to make them pop forward, but then I put similar detail on the other wing, breaking the flow. To tell the truth, wings have always been extremely hard for me to draw. A lot of this image was trying to wrap my mind around a fox with a trenchcoat AND a tail AND wings AND be able to fly while looking cool. When paid commissions wind up being this complex anatomically, I sigh with the amount of extra work I'll have to do to just make the image readable.

In addition, it was for a nice guy, so I wanted to do something nice for him.
