[Danny]

Amazing work Ven, it looks extremely creative, brilliant shading I love how the scales look. I look forward to seeing the progress

Very very sexy. Best animal yet. However...

Is this the proper placement of the spine? Because if the spine travels down the tail, it wouldn't have the enormous kink that it does because the vertebrae wouldn't work. But what the heck, it's totally awesome. No-one else will notice.

How many of the human sprites have the correct anatomy? That's just nitpicking.

 

[Venetia]

Dang, I didn't even think about that. I'm usually all about well-structured anatomy, but-- Well ... Ah, whatever, it's fantasy anyway set on an alien world so who knows, maybe he has a magic pelvis that supports his spine. I'unno XD

Anyway my weekend with Sixters is over so now I'll have time to work more on the Gralach tonight. I also have some new hair for the Husky and Adult-Male and thumbnails to upload, and I updated the Gallery with male faces for the time being.

 

[Showkaizer]

Well I can't really add anything but to say its gonna be great when this is done..can you say? Muthafuckin armored lizards? . Also you can animate him just fine. i mean it worked pretty well for the old chocobo I made. And that thing was easily twice as big as this.

 

[Venetia]

What old chocobo, SK? I'd like to look at how you animated the legs. I already have an idea now but it couldn't hurt to see another example :3

 

[Akaire]

Looks great so far; I like the textures and colours there.  Before, I was thinking that the aHKCP would consist only of cats, dogs, horses, and such...  :tongue:  xD

I'm really looking forward to seeing this animated.  :smile:

 

[Venetia]

Heh well my game takes place on another planet, so the domestics you see from me'll be a little more ... exotic .

Of course we'll always need cows/chickens/horses/cats/dogs for general use.

Edit:

Update 3-4-08: Outlining & Color blocking front view.

Figured you'd like to see my progress as I go .

[Venetia]

Ohhhhhh yeaaaahhhhhh. I'd forgotten all about that guy :D

And he walks very close to how the Gralach would. Okay, I can use that to ref :D

 

[Samboy]

maybe he has a magic pelvis that supports his spine.

Nah, I was just nitpicking. Just in case it was vital or something... as I said, no-one will notice. You never know, you could make his tail ends at about his ass, the rest is just cartilage for support. Your spriting makes up for that issue anyways.

Bugger, earth animals are for the uninspired!

Also, maybe that hump on his butt is an evolutionary/bred trait, a nice cushioning of fat for sitting atop.  Figure the rider has to have his center of gravity over the pelvis since it's a two legged animal, and you don't want the saddle impacting the hip bones directly, it would be natural to have a bit of a 'hump'. :D
