(Krystal was initially on my list of references too, but I dropped her after being unable to identify any signature details to incorporate into the design.)

If all nine tails are seen then the situation must truly be life or death -- and the kitsune may even be already plotting a curse to use as its last resort.

Streaming down its back are eight distinct "tassels" of fur that provide defense against predators, but which can also be fanned out as a display or warning. Combined with the fox's abilities, it can project an appearance of nine full tails, but only one tail is actually the real thing.
8x5", inverse colored pencil.
The smaller image at bottom was inspired by this asset I found while searching for reference material early on. (I even used it as a placeholder in composition until my version was drawn.)]]>Lucent Moonfox by Stratadrakeurn:uuid:8a74c37c-436b-c96b-aa7a-60aeae1c36692022-10-21T18:05:27-07:00He's done! And right on time, too.
A Lucent Moonfox has modest abilities, such as conjuring foxfire or creating illusions. The latter includes being able to change what appearance he projects -- technically this means he can appear perfectly human, but he generally refuses to let his true nature be hidden under disguise.
The armor pads are a clue to which art prompt inspired this idea. It is actually like the 4th or 5th attempt at placing some kind of clothing/dress on him (most of which I couldn't make work with this composition).
8x5", inverse colored pencil (first time using that technique in literal years).]]>Lucent Nine-tail Fox WIP by Stratadrakeurn:uuid:407b38e4-b403-3bc7-4e84-f674c24b3de22022-10-15T21:24:57-07:00Second drawing for my little art prompt -- the same fox, but now invoking his full kitsune powers.
Hope that you never have to see more than one tail. If all nine come out, it is already too late.

This fox has abilities such as illusions (this is technically not his true form) and foxfire, which also grow stronger under moonlight.

I have used this creature design in a few of my stories (one of my main characters is one, in fact). An "alce" or "spined gryphon", the signature flares on the shoulders of this wingless, four-legged avian could be either decorative feathers or hardened spines depending on which story it is.
(No my art is not dead, it was exactly where I left it! ...but I did need to get a new scanner, and one does not "simply" shake off several years' worth of rust.)

// I had a good photoshop session today. I mostly just doodled head shots for several hours. This bust was the most rendered out the bunch. I was playing (experimenting) around with my dragontaur design.
I named this character Mia (Me yah) and Tia (Tea yah). They are two beings sharing the same body, similar to a conjoined twin.

There is a sheath in the lower part of her mouth that the snek tongue hides in. the sheath is located in front of her normal tongue. Its one of my favorite features in my Kudahru alien design .
~~ question asked by Wolfy-T on Deviant-Art 8I oh wow this was a fact about Aiesha that I DID NOT KNOW. What is each tongue for?
~~ My answer Haha
Their cows had large snake like tongues. The cows needed a superior sense of smell to avoid eating any poisonous vegetation. There were lots of very poisonous plant on their home planet. Aiesha's home ship Horizon suffered large population loss due to a disease. The remaining Kudahru used DNA from their live stock to save the next generation. The side effects of only appeared in the females. In genetics the effects only appeared with XX chromosome and not XY chromosomes.
The primary tongue is used for tasting and speech. The other offers greater sense of smell. They also use the Snakey tongue to display threats; it works under water too but nobody on Horizon knows how to swim. The idea of the species becoming more dimorphic between the sexes I find very interesting, but Whenever I design the males and will therefore the original females I will probably have to balance some of these traits out just a bit. XD
~~ WOlfy-T reply Ooooh I love that it's a female-only trait! AND that it involves threat displays!

Cross posted from Tumblr ~~~~~
I did snarl face . Yes, they have more than one tongue but only the ladies. Their secondary snake tongue provides a superior since of smell, and can make a serious threat display. The other primary tongue is used for speech and of course tasting/ eating. Their threat display is loud and usually always end in a fight. It is a lot like two cats preparing to fight. I’m not sure how to wrinkle their face %D

*cross posted from tumblr*
I will admit this World Building Wednesday ask was a real challenge for me. I had to develop so much about Aiesha’s world just to cover this topic. I also discovered quickly that I cannot organize my notes. I also drew art XD
Thank you for the lovely ask Wyrd!!
Answers are under the cut.
The Kudahru funeral ceremonies are very short. Its more like a moment of silence for the deceased. They actually will still dress for the occasion and wear funeral robes and are placed right over their current attire. It is important to note that what they do with the remains after the ceremony has changed over time. Before their home planet was destroyed, Kudahru bury their deceased in the soil. There is a large significance with burial for them. They believe in a heaven and hell in their religion, but unlike our association with up and down. Kudahru perspective is that the ground below them is heaven and the sky (space) is hell. By burying their loved ones they are physically placing them into heaven.
On Horizon Kudahru burial customs were forced to evolve. They see ejecting any remains out of Horizon as being extremely disrespectful and is reserved for the worst criminals. After the short funeral ceremony the deceased is prepped to be cremated by exposing the remains to the “Soul of Horizon” .

/cross post from tumblr/ Quick drawing during lunch. Finally seen the latest starwars and had to draw something. Just a very quick AU of my alien Kudahru. I named her Vexx (more of a nickname). she paints her nose and chin bright red stripe. She isn’t on the good side XD. She also docked her own tail to be better at fighting.
Vexx is hard core :D
//
BTW this is my own alien species I designed and named "Kudahru". I've drawn them for a very long time actually XD. I plan to do a story/ comic with them.
Still have hard time with hips and legs >>

This took much too long to be finished somehow and still, I'm also somehow sad that I'm done with it already. XD
A bunch of digital sketch-lines, 4 perspective grids, 127 layers and aprox 45 h later, voilà. :D
I did not have a reference for every detail on there (especially for the ball-thing) so I'm sorry if something is not completely correct there.
Did you notice? I'm an art-factory mood in the moment, that is the reason for all the current uploads. *teehee* I finally found my artistic flow.
Completely created in PS CS6 using my Wacom Cintiq 22HD (no traditional sketches where used).
I found out that perspective grids can be your friend and your enemy at the same time while working on this.]]>I'm Checking by SuziDragonladyurn:uuid:e4008aee-b74b-69e4-5b3c-e93cd91b3a2e2014-11-09T20:55:22-08:00This is the third piece out of a series of Dragon pictures, "I am"-Dragons.

XD I should have been working on another art piece and another big TFP fan art thingie, but yeah I just got the idea and it had to be drawn. So yeah.
Just have a Knock Out!
I apologise that his staff might be incorrect I did not find a reference for it.
Pencil drawing with digital colouring underneath + a lot of effects in addition = 2H pencil, PS CS 6, Wacom Cintiq 22HD, approx. 6 h.
... keeping the sketch thingie does not make it be finished faster actually.
Yeah, I watch too much TFP lately...

I followed a course at CG Society some time ago about environment design at the firm where I work at and I think I really learned a lot there.
This piece is completely done in PS CS 6 with my new Wacom Cintiq 22HD and was a good new training again. I mostly used different brushes for the leaves, structures and textures mixed together. Most parts are just painted with the normal brush tool.
I just had to put my character Drakalette in there.
And yes there exists a song from Dan Gibson with the same title. Very nice music for drawing.]]>Temple Visitor by SuziDragonladyurn:uuid:781e7282-304c-908e-cf4b-30883be0b3d92013-12-28T15:03:03-08:00The sunlight was shining through the treetops already when he finally arrived near the temple's enterance, overgrown statues are watching over the path leading through the jungle since centuries. The view was just impressive...
A new drawing/painting-mix thingie. I started it as a drawing with outlines but did not like the overall look, then I just kept adding details, foliage over foliage, plants, moss, shadows, patterns etc. and so on. I also had fun playing around with the light there.
I have no clue how many hours this took all in all, I was making too many breaks to tell now.
Scanned-in pencil sketch, fully coloured in PS CS2.]]>Merry Christmas 2013 by SuziDragonladyurn:uuid:d87d4f31-4705-25ee-a926-24a6d05fd68a2013-12-24T19:30:13-08:00FROHE WEIHNACHTEN and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Holy crap, I finally have artwork to submit. O_O It's only been forever. Ha ha! Anyway I actually wasn't going to do as much with this drawing as I did... but it just kept growing. Originally it was just Zelda posing with her sword, but then idea after idea kept coming and well here we are. I have never attempted a nouveau drawing before... so I have to admit I wasn't really sure where to start, but I came up with a design and stuck with it.

After like, what, a year or two since I last posted here?
Anyway, Out of boredom I was browsing one of my old sketchbooks and I stumbled upon this sketch I had done in '05. I don't think I ever posted it here. Well, I decided to redo it and I don't think it looks too bad, but uh, yeah.
Croc must've said something to Constanza (the one being all pouty and huffy in the back), and rightfully got his butt kicked, and by a girl no less. lololol. I kid. And so her little sister Isabella plans to heal him with her magical healing powers (No, she has none. I'm just being stupid.)

While watching a Tales of live stream I said that I would attempt some Xillia fanart for the game's US release. Someone suggested that I draw this character. Unfortunately I forgot who it was. D:

And according to the latest images, it apparently looks like THIS.
I like Absol plenty much as-is and would never accept him getting an evo, but . . . I gotta admit it -- I love this new design just as much. (And there's always room for some Okami swirls....)

I felt a lot less stressed even though my situation now is kind of hellish. *sighs* All I want is a little happiness.
I feel like this is the kind of artwork that represents me as an artist/person. There is more to me than what you will see at first glance.
