Everyone's favorite huge wasp is an artist! (BIG PICS)

Nasari

Yup, you heard me correctly. I love to make bizarre creatures up and draw them! (And before you ask, I DON'T hold the pencil with my claws. I hold it telekinetically.)

Please post comments! And please, NO FLAMING! If you don't have anything constructive to say, don't bother. If there's something wrong, just tell me how to fix it.

First up: The Alligar! Looks and behaves like an alligator, but is really a fish! (A gar is a kind of large fish.)

I will post more when I get two comments.

You could have made the front legs a wee bit more reptilian. The back legs are fine though. Did you want the tail to be a lot like a tadpole's tail?

Yes, I wanted the tail to look like that. Thanks for the tips! Smile

Also is the bottom jaw supposed to be covered by the upper jaw? The body could be more skinny but that is more of a opinion then a tip. What picture will you put up next?

This one! It's a Sabretoothed Prongwing. I made it on the compy. The curled thingy on its head is a grasping tentacle.

Imageshack decided to be a butthead and make my pic look blurred and blotchy... Oh btw, I'm working on a new, better version of this one. I need to know what to improve.

The wings could be a bit better. The big tooth doesn't really seem all that natural really. What I mean is that the tooth's size and position doesn't look good. The tooth could be smaller and moved a wee bit more to the left. The tentacle could use some work but I can't really point what to work on.

The wing is supposed to look like that, and yes, I suppose the tooth could look a bit better. Thank you!

It's supposed to look like that? =o

Yes, that's why it's called the prongwing. I originally drew these to make on the game Spore, wich is coming out next spring. I wanted to make it look bizzare.

Its face kind of reminds me of the little three-legged creatures that you always see in the Spore preview videos. I'm curious to see this actually in Spore when it comes out. Smile

I can't wait to buy the game. Razz

I like it. The wing shape is very good, but I think if you make the finger parts a bit thinner, it would look more natural. If you take a gander at pictures of bats or pterranadons, they have very thin bones because they have to be light to fly. Now, if you've got a low-gravity world, not too much to worry about, but your prong-wing would probably pummet in Earth gravity. Sad

Poor Prong-wing! Other than that, it's very nice!

Made a new, more physically possible picture. Thanks for your tips Embri! Smile

I made the head shape a bit different, slightly more equine, and made the thighs thinner. It should look a bit more flight-capable now.
