Welcome to Gaia! ::


Here's my monster families for week two of the Assignment. And here's my description as well, in case you need a reminder:

The Hirsuta Maculatus (hairy and spotted), also called the Spring Horn, is a furry mammal that lives in the fruit trees in the mountains by the hot springs. It is omnivorous, eating both fruit out of the trees and fish out of the many large hot springs where tropical fish and other creatures thrive. It uses the two horns not only for defense and sparring during mating season, but also uses it to spear fruit and fish. It uses its long toes and thumbs to climb the fruit trees, and its webbed feet to swim quickly in the ocean. It swims in a froglike fashion with its long legs. On flat land it walks with the front feet on the ground while hopping with its back feet. The spots on its belly add to its camoflage while in the trees. It can be viewed in the daytime, and at night it sleeps in a nest in the trees. The Spring Horn live in large family groups and are very social creatures, gathering after meals for group grooming sessions.

Tipsy Conversationalist

Pretty cool. 3nodding

..snap, now I want to attempt entering these spiffy little creatures I made up a ways back, but I'm a week too late for sketches... gonk

Plus no demi-humans kinda ruins it. (Which I'm assuming means human-ish intelligence, not humans with wings/ears/tails slapped on.) My creatures have clothes and society. Le sigh. *goes to doodle them anyways*
oooo I love them!! So unique.

Question, is the second picture a close up?

Hilarious Humorist

yeah, it's a close-up, but it's also added on to, to look better up close. <this is Mirai on Koba's account ^_^;

XD. Oh.
Cool.

Hilarious Humorist

I love how playful they seem, Miraichan. They're cute little faces when they're in profile. XD;;; Eeee~ And they're so smart to use their horns to get food down! XD;;;
Awesome job as always. You do such a good job coloring!!! heart
I really love the soft coloring method you used and the young ones are so cute>w<
@_@ Too cute..

Hilarious Humorist

What can I say about it, Miraichan?

I really like the overall composition. The colors are so eye-catching and there's a lot of really nice contrast. You always do an awesome job coloring. So sparkly! XD;;;;
The social structure is demonstrated really well here too.
There's really nothing I would change except maybe coloring the far away Spring Horns a bit darker to make them seem more in the distance?

I gotta say those beedy little eyes really draw me in. XD; I wish they were real! Do you think they could be domesticated?
Yeah, I suppose they should be a bit darker and maybe blurrier too.

I don't know, I suppose it'd be like domesticating a Lemur or something... it might work.
