Aeromorph Field Notes, commission
lancefoxx approached me at at FC wanting a commission of his Aeromorph character.Now, when somebody approaches me about doing a morphic airplane, I think what would Pixar do? Thinking in the vein of Cars.
No, he shows me this http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7160367/
The humanoid body completely throws me through a loop. This is truly the freakiest thing somebody wanted me to draw. I was completely baffled at this for 2 days. I even refused payment up front because I didn't want to have him disappointed should I fail to come up with something.
Then Sunday while trying to explain why I was stumped at this, I roughed out a crude idea....and ran with this concept.
What if I was Darwin and studying a new life form?
So I did the 'Field Notes'. leaving the crude scribbles and colors.
I think this worked out.

I love this! I was eager to see you post it so that I could post it too and give you credit. I couldn't wait.
I think the Darwin style observation "Field Notes" was a perfect take on this, based on how uncertain you were on how to cover this and how you were truly amazed by seeing something like this for the first time. I remember when
sidian came over, showed you my pic, and you could only say "wow" at first!
Really love the notes too. I hope everyone reads them and doesn't just look at art. My favorites are "scoop of unknown use" and "territorial during mating season."
I also really like your take on the eyes. They look like headlights that have been placed inside the windows. I know that there are lights in under where the wheels normally go, but this lined up perfectly with what I drew. It works. I'm also very glad to see the detail like the seat and the targeting between the eyes. My pic didn't even go into that much detail.
All in all, I'm just really glad you had fun with this and had a story to tell. I gotta thank Sidian too. She said you might be the best person in the room for this and she was absolutely right. It was fun watching your reaction, but the fact that you were actually willing to try it too was just awesome. Thank you. ^^
