This guy is a super-awesome artist, always drawing crazy creatures; I'm an up-and-coming, taking a more painterly approach, and he let me play around with a design he inked.

These are just preliminary flats, after I pick out the actual colors I'll paint and shade them. But I need help picking colors!

This right here is a collection of bros. Proof: none of them have let any of the others skip leg day.

*nods* I'm planning on adding the shading later, this is just the preliminary flats.

maybe switch the chest and fur colors on the ice one?

Hmmm. That's an interesting thought; it's the first one I designed and intentionally put lighter skin than hair... I'll try that though.

The middle right looks the most "real" but I like the red and yellow in the top right. Maybe use similar shades but less 'bright.'

Similar shades... on all of them?

12 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Left. Top left.

I did tone down the shades a bit but it's supposed to be fire and when was the last time fire wasn't bright?

Plant's a bit TOO bright. Looks more like radiation poisoning. Needs earthier tones.

Haha, good catch! It's like 1 AM here and I just made ALL these >.<

Although on the plant one, you could add some patches of red or some sort of fruit-y colour, maybe the claws or horns.

Mmhmm... I was trying to stick to browns/yellows/greens but I'll keep that in mind.

I've never really done this sort of thing before but I was going for fire, ice, water, earth, plant, stone. No I've never played pokemon...

I can't tell if wind is making the loincloth billow or if he just has a frighteningly huge monsterpeen.

Le'ts just say, a little bit of both.

For those wondering: The comment was "Which color did you choose?"

12 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It reminds me of a Behemoth from Final Fantasy

I've never played those games :/ A lot of people say some are good but I just don't feel like starting more games.

I think you see what I mean. They're quite cool though

It needs bigger nipples.

Not sure if serious... or seriously funny. Por que no los dos?

12 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

So then the question is, are you a brony? I'd guess Pegasister, looking more through your gallery...
