cute

Thanks.

I'd say you did really well, actually. Being able to give her feminine attributes without just slathering on big tits like a lot of other artists would short-cut to.

So successful mission, Sir!

Well, thank you.
Yea, putting breasts onto a reptile creature just to make it look female is something that just never looked quite right to me. I've seen a lot of other artist that can pull it off and very well, but it's just something that I never really got into.
So in this case I guess that I did something right.

I still need to sit down one of these days and draw out one of your Vanguard guys or gals.

Completely agree with you. Although as you say, there are a few artists who can carry it off well, it does strike me as being a little odd. But then again, we're all playing a great big complicated game of make-believe with our creations anyway, so for those who like tits, meh, why the hell not, right?

And yes, you should feel justifiably proud of your efforts on this one - seriously, it looks good and you've done a great job of employing just the right sorts of femininity to carry it off. And yeah, I'm with MrMinos, let's see some colour

Well, I'd love to see your take on one of my boys or girls. Although the females give live birth, they don't breast feed - the resulting spawnlings are ready to tear into fresh meat right after birth. Most Vanguard pregnancies result in a single off-spring, if two embryos are gestated the stronger of the pair will usually cannibalise the weaker before birth.

The only major visual difference between male and female Vanguard is that the females, like many mammals, have wider/rounder hips to cope with the birthing process. And a longer, flatter clocoa.

After reading the positive comments that I've gotten so far I'll definitely try out some more female types and see how they come out.
Yea, the coloring aspect is something that I do need to sit down at some point and work on, it just intimidates the hell out of me when I get to thinking about it. But it's something that I need to get over and just start in on.

Cool and helpful info on the Vanguard females, when I start in on one of them I'll probably have a few anatomy questions to ask you if that's alright.

Hey, stud gator. You did good with the female form, something that is mighty hard to do when staying true (as you can) to the natural form. She looks so coy and demure. Mmmm, bawk, tasty! ;}

It's time for color now.

Hey thanks man, the female form is something that I rarely draw out, so it's good to know that I managed to pull it off. I guess that using those model sheets as a reference base is working out.
She does have that sly and coy look to here doesn't she, maybe she wants to take a bath with a certain rooster.

I really do need to sit down at some point and work on coloring and inking as well. I've got twisted brush installed on my system, I just haven't gotten around to using it yet.

Hey you've got Twisted Brush?! Cool. Draw a simple, very simple cartoon gator or whatever you please (rooster?) and the play around with coloring. It's a complex program and it can do SO much. The only way to learn is to start and start with an easy project.

lovely subtle smile

Thank you.

ooo la la

ooo la la indeed

Can I slap some colours on this?

Sure, go for it.

And HERE is the finished work.

Very cool coloring job, love the look of the stripes that you added.
