Artist's Comments

I had originally planned to give Lori a new design... but looking back at her first one, I've decided that I still like it a lot. I added a few extra blue spots on her ears, but the rest is basically the same as her very first design.

The only other characters I've had that have relatively permanent designs are Skantrin, Jaira, LegendStar, and Arvanta. It's worth noting that these 4 are all part of the same story setting.

I'm really surprised at how well this pic turned out. I love Peophins but I hate drawing them because I have to draw these huge curves and my hand's just not steady enough for it. For some reason I find that soft shading looks better on equines, and cel shading looks better on humans. oO

I started the sketch this afternoon and finished all the colouring/shading during our Sarth+3 raid tonight, so I'd say overall it took between 3-6 hours.

lol yeah, I'm terrible at more unusual perspectives. I think her left foreleg isn't even supposed to be able to be seen from that position, but I felt like I had to show it somehow <_<

Love the coloring - the pose looks great, but can't quite catch on to the positioning of the upper body :P

I think you did a pretty good job, anyhow.
I certaintly wouldn't be able to draw an odd pose like that. -fail-

It is amazing how you do all the curves with a single stroke. That is one of the things I really admire in your art. It is very noticeable how all the art I ever make is composed of tiny litte strokes of tinyness D: too fluffy and agg. the shading u do is VERY nice~ and although the nose/mouth area is confusing, the color coice is soo nice and I like it alllll~~~ :3

PS. the middle part of the peophin looks so SQUISHY. i want to squish it. O_O omggggggg noooo i rly rly want to go SQUEESSSHHH and sudenly.. OMG THE HEAD AND TAIL WILL BECOEME RLY RLY FAT omggsss
