Hopefully Sir Rodrigo or Stephen catch sight of these. Pretty awesome.
We see everything...

I have a $300 money order for which I was never given the receipt. I bought it in cash and can't find the receipt for that either so I have no way to track it down.

Did you happen to see where my money went?
One of my minion squirrels took it for it's nest.

I knew it!! Evil squirrels, always trying to keep the Navarre Dominion down!

Did it also take my wallet? Cause that has been missing for 2 days.

Meow- Ha your right, I def should have got the mecha bird in there Smiley

Took a break from the regular crit hit cast to fool around with some of the new Paladin and Dinosaur characters. These are interpretations of the characters so I went a bit off script in places I just wanted to try and play up the triballyness of the setting... which maybe Sad or Smiley

Burai Sunburst- I am not a fan of a lot of the dragon born pics out there ( personal taste not that there arnt a ton of rocking dragonborn images out there) I find they tend to be big humans with dragon heads slapped on so I tried to push the dragon elements a bit (for good or ill Smiley )... I actually wanted to make the arms longer so he could lean forward and run like a dragon would but I decided to only push it so far.


Stormwind Brokenhorn- Not particularly happy with how the goat legs turned out I suppose I will have to try annd stair at more goats in the future. (that's my one Cheesy)

I think those are both great. I do like that you tried to play up the non-human element.

I think the thing that makes them still seem too human is their weight distribution. There is nothing to suggest their skeleton wouldn't look like ours.

I think they would come off as a distinct non-human race if their digitigrade legs allowed their weight to set as more "hulking", if you follow me. Good work though.

I do indeed see where your going and you are correct I could have pushed the dragon style neck etc. The problem comes in when your balancing the hulking vs the upright bipedal. Hulking up too much starts skirting the line of him having the proportions that his lower body wouldn't be able to support/ would be highly encumbered by an upper that big. I don't know if this sketch is readable (reading your own sketches is always easier :S) But this is a sketch of a lunar dragon

His lower half would never be able to support his upper body, kinda like if you had a bull dog walking around on his back legs (it would also look kinda hilarious)

But I take your point, and I do think that in the character being very verbose and working the crowd I pulled up a little early on giving him the proper bulk :S

Instead of producing a bulky upper body, perhaps work on giving him a lower center of gravity?

The dragonborn sketch looks like a human with good posture and a few body modifications. His weight is definitely high and in his shoulders which is, in fact, an even higher center of gravity than humans.

Is it possible to give more of the illusion that his weight distribution forces his mass to settle down into his hips, likely because of the very thing we are discussing?

You can, but on that end is the balancing so he doesn't look like a roo or a fat butt disney dragon. I was worried about having it loose the sleekness of a dragon and becoming squat looking. Most actual animals that have those types of legs tend not to walk primarily on them and there is a reason for that but it really just boils down to a balancing issue and I didn't hit the mark this run around.

Schlei- I am glad to hear it Cheesy

Gibra- You don't have to kill anyone just sell your soul... however if your going to do that don't be like me and read that contract. I had never even heard of the Devool, buddy guy can only make your dreams moderately come true ( else I would be better at this drawing game :S Wink )

Re listening to the casts does anyone know if the Dragonborn of the Archipelago are "Dinoborn"? I got the feeling from a couple of comments that they were, in which case the Burai image is even more of a swing and a miss Sad

Either way next up is Maka- (being a windsoul I figured I would give him a bunch of fluttery in the wind stuff Smiley )
