I promised to upload more character references- I'm sorry to the wonderful person waiting on them! I'll have the rest up within a couple days, I have to draw them first. :B

History:
His name is Chaehiron. He's a disgraced man, one who really lacks subtlety, grace and luck. A traditionalist to the end, he'll work to keep law and order. He was born to a family with considerable status in the city- however, his parent's and brother's attitude is something like, "Well, he used to eat and sleep around here. And even bathe."

When working to achieve his dragon form, Chaehiron found himself in direct competition with his younger brother, whom he had always overshadowed in the past. Quentin, quite a smart young man, figured out how to change shape before his older brother.

Infuriated, Chaehiron looked for a quick solution to overtake his younger sibling again- only to end up assimilating a creature stronger than himself. Chaehiron's dragon form is permanently infested with two creatures, the acquired beast being something of a terror. It smelled like dying toads trapped in varnish, and to top things off, infused Chaehiron with an inexplicable, paralyzing fear which the man had to learn and master before he could return to his family.

Little did he know what can of worms he opened.

Physical notes:
-This guy has two mouths. The top one consists mostly of molars and incisors (think deer mouth), the second one (which is open in the picture) has a load of canines.
-The belly of the creature is open- to (should the belly show) rotting innards. There's a second set of functional organs buried behind bone and plate in the fleshy section of his back.
- Limb and tail length as well as body proportions are not important to me- feel free to manipulate those to make it more aestethically pleasing if you wish.
- The antennae are retractable, they replace his sense of smell because I didn't deign to give this guy a nose or ears. He is very sensitive to changes in the air and vibrations.
- Can survive underwater because he doesn't draw breath anyways, but he can't swim very well like that.
- Approximately 12 ft tall.

well, now... that's definitely something different. I like the detail you went into for this pic.

Why does he have four claws on a foot with three toes, especially when all the other feet have three claws?

other than that, he's pretty spectacular. I haven'tseen you use such dark colours before but you handled them well.

Mutant toe!

Unless, you're referring to one of his front legs- he's supposed to have three claws and an opposable thumb on each of the front ones. But I forgot to highlight one of the claws on his viewer's left side, so his other claw kind of looks gibbled. If you're monitor's dark, it's really easy to just skate over the unhighlighted claw- which is shorter than the four-fingered dealie anyways. ;___;

But thank you! I guess this is kind of unusual for my colour palette- though I usually start my images this dark, I almost always work them into blinding saturation. xD

That's one hell of a breeze...XD The red/black combo looks absolutly awesome!

Hehe, thank you!

I love the detailing, its so cool! It reminds me of Galian Beast from Final Fantasy 7 Dirge of Cerberus.
That game was fun! Too bad I had to return it to Blockbuster before I finished the game. T__T

*Starlitdragon Nov 28, 2007

I never got to play that one! D: But it has Vincent, and Vincent probably makes it automatically awesome. xD

~Faerie-StarV Nov 29, 2007 General Artist

It's an awesome game! Try renting it first to see if you like it, then buy it if you love it! Vincent rules!
