Something different I tried with Reptile. For some reason, I'm not digging what I did with the legs. I'll try doing something again with him another time, but I thought I'd show off it here.

His feet look too elongated.
His ankles look way too skinny.
His mask is terrible.
All the above make him look more like a bird.

His shoulder "pads" seem quite impractical.

Other than that I actually like this costume.

I tried going for more of a raptor look with his mask and well, his entire self... I've never really drawn dinosaurs, or things to look like dinosaurs before so it's a bit sketchy.

I am redoing this, but I wanted to see what else to improve on. I know the legs looks a bit ridiculous.

But I'm definitely not changing his shoulders. I enjoy putting stuff like that in my works. It shows especially after viewing the "Non-MK Art" thread. Which you did.

Thanks for the feedback though, much appreciate it. smile

Dem shoulder pads. What inspired you? Because I swear I saw something like that before. I want to say Soul Calibur V but it's been long since I played that game.

I'm a huge fan of Blizzard's concept art for Warcraft.

I redid the picture, I like this one a lot better.

I dig that latest iteration of Reptile. Surely there is room for improvement in symmetry and anatomy, but I'd give it a green light for coloring it green next.

As much as I would love to color this, I'm holding it off until I can perfect my Photoshopping skills. Coloring is not my strongest cup of tea.

I like the concept that you came up for Reptile. The only thing that I find weird in the second drawing is the raptor toes. It looks like a fourth toe is hovering above the three other toes. The big toe on raptors are the ones that stand and have that hook like in this pic. Do you remember my reptile design? I did raptor feet on there if your are interested. Other than that it is a really nice concept! The bamboo reeds for armor is a nice touch and makes him feel primoridial. Nice work!!

Thank you for the feed, much appreciated!!!

I used this picture:



to give me some idea to do with the feet.

I've shared this picture elsewhere and I too have been getting the same feedback with the feet. When I go back and do some touch ups, or if I feel like drawing again with other features (I did have more ideas to put into this concept but it didn't get through to me at the time) the feet obviously will be fixed.

I actually did use your Reptile picture for some ideas but I didn't use them. I was going to use the scales for where the bamboo parts but I wanted him to look more... tribal-ish in a way.
