Title: Need some halp drawing my species
Post by: Rainbowbulldog on March 03, 2016, 11:00:10 PM: Hi there :) . I'm a friendly fur over here and some artistic help would be very much appreciated ^_^

From the topic title you've probably guessed what it's about X3 I thought up a species and I need some help drawing them. I should probably talk about the species now (I don't really have a name for them yet) X3

They're are large 8ft tall animals that are half plant and half big cat. Their fur is very shaggy and camouflaged to blend in with grass.

Depending on the area they live in they can have local flowers and plants in their fur. For example if one of them lived near a marsh or river they could have cattails growing from their backs or if they lived in a forest where honeysuckle is a common plant then honeysuckle would start to grown on them. Any plants that grown on them are usually mostly concentrated on their backs but aren't limited to it.

Something that they all have however are tails that are as long as their bodies. Their tails get thinner to the tip with 3 bright red feathers on the end.

If anyone is interested just say so here or PM me :) oh and also just let me know if I left anything important out or if there's anything you'd like to know about the species ^_^

Post by: Rainbowbulldog on March 04, 2016, 12:53:42 AM: In my head they all look goofy and innocent X3 Like big shaggy cats with sleepy smiles cause they sleep through the day for warmth ^_^

Post by: nixon/monto on March 04, 2016, 03:10:47 AM: Ah. That makes sense! :) that sounds kinda cute and innocent really.

Post by: Rainbowbulldog on March 04, 2016, 04:29:59 AM: I know right? X3 how I came up with them was I was writing a short story where giant grass cats would sleep in large grassy meadows where they were completely camouflaged. Then whenever an unsuspecting traveler walk through and accidentally wakes one up they knock them out with the sleep spores in their lungs and snuggle them for warmth XD

Post by: Rainbowbulldog on March 09, 2016, 10:49:44 PM: Of course :D
Title: Re: Need some halp drawing my species
Post by: nixon/monto on March 09, 2016, 10:50:33 PM: I'm having trouble with this but I'm sure I can get it down. By like the end of next week hopefully. Maybe even the weekend. We will see. And If you think of anything that would be neat to add try it. I'm gonna try a few things. }:>

Post by: Rainbowbulldog on March 09, 2016, 10:56:53 PM: Oh ok ^_^ take your time though. No hurry :) for one of them could you give em some little pink or blue flowers in their fur? :)
Title: Re: Need some halp drawing my species
Post by: nixon/monto on March 09, 2016, 10:59:58 PM: Uh yeah! :) I was gonna do either a jungle or a North American Forest one.

Post by: mclovin on March 09, 2016, 11:01:55 PM: Oh okay.

Um. I didn't realize that Nixon asked first. When I click on a thread I have this habit of skipping replies and posting before I actually read anything. Uh, Nixon wouldn't mind if I wanted to draw too, right?? Is this a one person thing...?
Title: Re: Need some halp drawing my species
Post by: Rainbowbulldog on March 09, 2016, 11:10:15 PM: Oh it's ok. Of course you can still draw :)

I just realized I forgot to mention I was planning on posting them on the forum as an open species for other people to take a look at and maybe even make oc's if they'd like. So 2 different artists is definitely ok ^_^

Post by: mclovin on March 09, 2016, 11:14:05 PM: Ah okay! Thx for telling me!
Title: Re: Need some halp drawing my species
Post by: Rainbowbulldog on March 09, 2016, 11:27:30 PM: No problem ^_^ I actually feel pretty bad that I forgot to put it in the first post ;-;
Title: Re: Need some halp drawing my species
Post by: nixon/monto on March 10, 2016, 02:05:47 AM: Something like this maybe?
(The plants are supposed to be exotic.)
Work in progress

Post by: mclovin on March 10, 2016, 02:54:41 AM: Edit: Maybe it's the spoiler tags that's making it not show?

Aw, You don't have to feel bad! Don't be so harsh with yourself!

So this was my final design and the only one I colored. This is design number three but I'll show you the others. Oh and sorry about the colors, they're not very harmonic.

This is where you see design three:

(http://j.mp/1QNoyEk)
(http://j.mp/1QNoNz3)
(http://j.mp/1QNp70W)

I can totally tweak a design if you want.

OH OKAY. It was because I had spaces in between the [img] thing and the url, that's why the images weren't showing.

Yeah like I said the last time I tried to post... sorry that they don't look like cats... I can make them look like cats tommorow if you want me to.

Post by: Rainbowbulldog on March 10, 2016, 03:07:26 AM: I can't see them either but I'm sure they look fine :) here email them to me at [email protected]

Please don't judge my email X3
Title: Re: Need some halp drawing my species
Post by: mclovin on March 10, 2016, 03:13:36 AM: Ah okay it's working now! You can check it out now.
Title: Re: Need some halp drawing my species
Post by: Rainbowbulldog on March 10, 2016, 03:29:22 AM: Wow! :D so pretty ^_^ I love the colors in the top one :3 ooh and I like what you did with the tail :)

If you'd like to try and make em more feline go ahead but the colored one is pretty nice ^_^

The only thing I'd like to ask is could you make the feathers more pointed at the end? Ooh and could the body be green? I like the color of the floofy and flowers though ^_^

Sorry if I'm being difficult ;-;
Title: Re: Need some halp drawing my species
Post by: mclovin on March 10, 2016, 03:37:15 AM: Whaaat? you're not being difficult! I wanted to work for you! :)

Greener.
Pointy feathers.
Much better colors.

Still doesn't look like a cat though, UGH! I'm sorry I can't really draw anatomy at all!

So do you want me to make any changes? (Which you totally can ;)) If not, I'm really curious to what your going to call it! :)
