Sexy tail.

Thank you!

Have to admit, the tail caught my eyes first, lots of detail really makes it pop out. I also love the scales over the shoulders, wrists, up the neck.. hm, only partially changed, huh? How far does the guy go?

He can go all the way to a huge saltwater croc. He has fun with the shifting back and forth, and has gotten very creative when fighting people

nice work =) i like how you drew the tail

It took way too long to get it looking right... but thank you =)

Worth all the time in the world, great tail man.

Thank you!

Mmmm loving that tail.

hehe thank you.

Now why you gotta go n place dat tail there, huh?

Where, on his butt? That's where tails are supposed to go. =3

Great comeback :>

=3

lol

I think this is one of your best pieces so far! :3

As for specific details, go read Amethystine's reply further down the page again and imagine I said those things. :P

it did turn out a lot better than i had anticipated it would. Now to muck things up by getting color involved =3

:O *gasp* Comment thief! :P

awesome design, seriously, your concepts are great.

Thanks so much *hugs*

We still have to catch up and discuss more concept stuff too. ;)

yes, yes we do :)

Nicely done, I like how you set up the hips and tail as well as the reptilian yet still human maw, though one issue I may (depending on whether or not that's just the way he's posing or his foot is shifting into a digitigrade form) have with it is the feet, despite a close relation to future dinosaurs, Crocodiles, like lizards) walk plantigrade style on their whole foot, rather than on their toes like birds or dinosaurs. It's a common misconception and that's why I'm addressing it but it may not be an issue since he's partially shifted and anatomy is a bit hard to nitpick at that stage XD.

The tail censorship is a bit odd though wouldn't at that stage he have a cloaca so nothing'd be really visible, then again I like the classical style you chose, leaves more to the imagination of more dubious folk on the site XD.

His foot is arched actually because the pose worked out that way, that's all. When I looked at crocodile anatomy, I looked at how the feet were set up and well, they are kind of paddle-like, so I wanted to do something to show the growth in them. Good catch however =3

And when it comes to the choice for tail covering up any 'endowments' i chose to stick with classical, since, honestly it just felt right for where the pic was at. Plus i like letting people's imagination run a little when it comes to my stuff. ;)

Ah that's good, it's really astounding how many Anthro lizards and aligators I've seen with horribly wrong anatomy. I know he's inbetween shifts rather than anthro but still it's somewhat the same thing.

Well it's much nicer because of it. Afterall I wouldn't watch ya if you did a bunch of dirty poses. It's just a bit too far for my tastes.

(tries to lead him off to my home)

LOL, just make sure you have lots of food...

A man with an appetite, how delightful!

Hee hee. Crocodiles and alligators always had a soft spot in my silly TF-lovin' heart. They were just the perfect mixture of reptilian anatomy - thick, meaty tails, elongated snouts that were fun to describe in TF stories, ridged scales running down the backside...very, very nice.

Your expressions are always so solid, too. The goofy little smile there along with his pose makes me smile, and the part with just enough tail to cover up his bits made me wonder just who he's trying to tease there. Also, the bits and pieces of scales over his body, the nice webbed feet, the detail of his musculature...all great details as always. Your ability to bring out the life in a character is impressive, cap'n.

I like this guy!

Thanks so much *hug*

I just, especially when it's a char design that i used for a game at one point in time, I really do get anal about the detail. As for who he's trying to tease... not saying anything on that just yet.

I really bog myself down with getting the essence of a character right, if i draw it one time correctly... something I am actually trying to work through.

cool style.
Never knew those tails are so bendy. My main char also has a similar tail, being a Chimera but then from a lizard type. Though it easily can go for a crocodile one too. a Chimera made out of animals I like.
The char is still young so there isn't much drawn of him yet.

You are a great artist.

Thank you! =)

So adorable.
uwu

Awesome character.

Ive always liked how you've drawn your characters. very cool expressions and great designs. :)

That means alot, thank you so much.

No matter how hard I try, I cannot fav this hard enough 8[

awww *hugs* but hey, the your fave does mean a lot to me =)

Woah!! that tail came out amazing!!! O.O

Thanks. It took a few retries to get some detail right - but, I think it worked out well in the end.

Well, not sur eon blushing, but it is a possibility. =3

I think I'll have to be the one to say it: Dat Tail! :D

Seriously, though, wonderful picture! One of the best I've seen, of a semi-human croc-guy of this style. Awesome posing, to keep him covered but still nude. Excellent scale detail as well, of course. I like the hints of it around his shoulders and neck, and on his arms. Super clean and crisp lines, as always. <3

Well put, my good sir! You took the words right out of my... keyboard, I guess.

Oh, and don't forget the scales up the sides of Kita's torso--they're great touches, lanhao! :D

Ah yes, up the sides too, I see. I suppose that just implies that his belly is bare/human flesh, but his back probably has the craggy croc-like hide all over it.

Thanks <3

I am actually to a point where i can say i am comfortable with using SAI for inking now. 've played with the interface long enough and fiddled with a few things, and know which settings that I like for what I do.

Getting the balance was tricky for the form, but I think it worked well for the pose.

It worked perfectly for the pose.

Looking back on this pic again today, I'm still in love with it, but I do wonder about the size of his tail. He MUST have to drag it on the ground, right? Not that real crocs don't do that, they certainly do. Of course, they're more comfortable in the water, as must Kita here, as well! To let that tail float out behind him and sway it lazily to glide placidly down the river.. :}

I'm sure he could shift to shrink it's length, but... i think when he an he just does like you said. Chill out and drift.

I love your creature designs.

I enjoy how you have captured the partial change that the overall body would experience if it were possible.
Obviously the tail is a major component, so most of the change is that extension. The hands and feet are
a great addition as well, and so are the small accents of scale upon the otherwise smooth skin that your
character would normally have. Also, would love to play some DnD with you, I am sure you would make an
awesome player and will create the most amazing of characters for which to have. I wonder if you take
commissions, or if you are willing to do the female body.

(Warning: Constructive Criticism, in positive light) You seem to draw more male characters than females, and
would love to see your take on a female character, but I leave that up to you at all times. Also, I understand
that you go and research a lot, and I am highly impressed with how well anatomically you know the animal
features you place on your males, but would love to see you do more of the finer details. In essence, you are
still growing in your talents, and when you post art, there is constant improvement, and I look forward to more.

I hope it all came on a very positive note :3 Because, I love you art, and am loving this.

Thanks very much for the endorsement there. I haven't gamed in years though. Wouldn't mind trying to again, when back in the States.

As for drawing females, I have no aversion to drawing them really, it's just that when these ideas have been popping up in my head, they have been fiddling around with the human male as the base. I unfortunately do not take commissions, as my art 'sparks' tend to be fickle, so even though I have been able to crank out a bunch of pictures in a short time, I also have had weeks of no creativity really.

Since you have added me to your MSN, I definitely think we can chat on there more on this. I am not opposed to drawing out women, just, well, I think I would just need to work out a few things for the pictures a little differently is all.

cute, hot... and a half dozen other things I can't think of @_@ love it ^_^

thank you so much! *hug*

*hugs back* ^_^

=)

Thanks a lot! The inking didn't take as long on the body, the tail did take a while to get done though, I would say overall, about four hours inking-wise in total? I think that the inks will make a difference when I color, or try to color him.

Simply jaw-droppingly awesome!

Thanks =)

Very nice Croc boy! I wonder if he's smiling because he knows his tail is covering up things his admirers really want to see. :P

That being said, I've always loved how you depict the inbetween stages of a transformation, just the right balance between human and animal. As always, very nicely done!

*drools a little, staring at his abs*
