Solifugae- IIWordlessly he dipped his hands into the stream one more time, scrubbing slowly but firmly his face, neck and fingers until the red splotches disappeared. The stains in the fabric of his garments would have to wait, for water was not enough, but not very noticeable they were, so he did not worry much. Picking up his knapsack and surveying the area one more time to make sure no incriminating items were forgotten, he set foot upon his path. It was dark by now, and a gentle mist was threatening to appear on the horizon, but it bothered him not. He knew the path so well he could find it with his eyes closed, and even if he didn't, his kind was ble

Solifugae - prologueA small bird flickered its blue feathers on top of a dry branch, staring at the mid-spring sun above. The smell of growing leaves blended with the fainter smell of rocks, grass and dirt, which covered the surrounding landscape.
No worms or other appetizing prey in sight, figures the poor sapphire-coloured fellow would have to look elsewhere. And he did, leaping off the branch and flapping its tiny wings towards the warm sun, leaving a small trail of floating feathers on its path.

SPRING

A white hand brushed the wandering feather away idly, its owner not even bothering to look in said direction. His pale blue eyes were far too busy focusi

Coloured fishnetby ~LusoSkav

Anthro / Traditional Media / Drawings

Yup... decided to try my luck with traditional stuff again.. and im really proud of this... too bad the scanner always mangles the color blue... IRL its a more pale, darker blue with LOTs of shading, but the stupid scanner refuses to recognize it -.-

Medias: Markers and coloured pencils

Time: About 2:30 hours

Luso, even in female form still belongs to me

Comments:
A very neat rendition, for sure. First of all, I love gender benders; it's a subject I enjoy to see executed, because it takes a lot of forethought to translate onesself into the opposite sex. I also find myself liking your clothing and accessories- they're stylish in a casual, unpretentious way. And most of all, the nonchalant expression is fitting. All aorund a nice piece of work.

Critique:
Neck's just a tad long to me, but I draw very short necks, so I may be biased.

That stray strand of hair over your shoulder would curve along the form of your shoulder somewhat before dropping down in front, methinks. Really, the upper half of your drawing is very good; it's mainly the lower half that needs a bit of work. Your right shoe (to our left) is smaller than your left shoe (to our right), and accoding to all accounts of perspective and foreshortening, that shouldn't be. Anatomically, there's a few errors in this area. Your thighs are of pretty normal length, but the rule you must always remember is that shins in drawing are longer than thighs, because even though the femur is a large bone, part of it is contained in the hip/buttock area, thus making the shin longer when drawn.

A good rule of thumb is that your legs should be approximately half your height, starting at the bottom of your butt and ending at the top of your head. Also, upon further inspection, your left thigh (to our right) is actually just a bit short. Also, the feet are aligned in a strange way, seemingly going inward. The right shoe (our left) has a toe that should probably point more to her right (again, our left), and the other one conversely, due to your laid-back nature.

But that's all the critique I have. A really neat picture; I hope to see more.

Wow, thanks so much for the long critique

Yeah, in the legs i can see what you mean, they really look short to me, but since i was trying to make the character look somewhat pudgy i thought thaT it was somewhat inoticable.

And the feet, yeah, i know,t hey look hoorible, cos i simple cant draW feet, they look always too long or places on the wrong way x_X

Anmyway, thanks again for the wonderfull critique
