Nice job on both characters.

With the succubus her wings are perhaps a little oversized - they'd be awesome for gliding, but she'd have to hide them if she wants to stand up.

You might want to look at Dan in 1001 for example - the tops of his wings are level with his head.

Thanks Tape, as for the wing size- I am doing them large on purpose. The wings I like drawing should make the character look both impressive and flightworthy- as for them being too long, you can always write it off as magic being used to shrink or hide them when on the ground.

KIPIRU!!!  You are awesome! Thanks so much again! I love it!!   

[Lysander]

I love the wings, especially on Chance. I was thinking about how wings that size are probably much better for flying than the wings that are usually drawn with anthropomorphic characters. If a human was actually going to have wings they'd need to be a ridiculous size. Also good work on those spots, probably took a while. The only thing I'd say against the picture of Chance is there's no real depth. A suggestion that may help for flat color or unshaded pictures would be to increase the size of the outline gradually for the parts of the picture that would appear closer to the viewer.   

[Beever]

Splendid Work , they are both magnificent buddy.Maybe I shall call you now the Wing Master.These are  much much better and advanced wings  in contrast to   those I put on Dan.

I know Chance is supposed to be a Cubi, but I thought she would look better without the headwings.

Headwings may well be hidden. It's the easy excuse, and, after all, Cubi _are_ shapeshifters...

wow you're been very busy Kipu. i should check out the art thread more often. keep up the great work

[Ghostwish]

Holy smoking barrels Kipiru! I go and ask Wuffnpuff where she got that awesome looking avatar of hers, and she points me to one very productive and talented artist! I've been flipping through your collection of pieces, and I love your style, so I'd like to ask if you've got the time to perhaps put my character to paper as well?

[Kipiru]

Yesterday I ran into a buried treasure folks, something I thought was long lost art. A friend of mine dug up a couple of pictures I had done about 7 years ago, that I considered the best work I had ever done(to some extent I still think it true). They were sketches of the characters we were going to use in a fan-made vampire movie. I drew the outlines and a friend of mine did the shading with his thumbs. So here they are- unveiled after 7 years of gathering dust:

Hastor- the main hero of the story- a good vampire with a hidden past.
Davius- the villain- also a vampire and Hastor's brother.
Spaiterus- the right hand of Davius- a vampire-to-be, this schemer has his own hidden agenda.
Hesian- a local youth that joins Hastor- brother of the girl that stands between Hastor and Davius.

NOTE: These are all at least A3 large, hence the crude photo shots(I just can't scan something that big) and the coloring of the paper(the old yellowish dusty look) is 100% authentic- that is how we found them.  

[Tapewolf]

I don't think I've seen shaded pencilwork from you before.  I think you have every right to be pleased with it.

[Kipiru]

Glad you liked them, but the shading was done by a friend of mine. Fun fact: the guy who did the shading, was also the one to be the main character Hastor. Anyone who's gone over my art should have also seen him drawn as our resident lightning mage and Hasstorr- The White Ninja Tiger 

[Gabi]

Why are they all named Hastorr? What am I missing?
Anyway, great drawings. The tiger's right forearm looks a bit weird, but the image as a whole looks really cool.

[Kipiru]

Why are they all named Hastorr? What am I missing?

Because it's the same person- in different characters.

[Gabi]

Do you mean different characters from the same author? Or something else?

[Kipiru]

I guess this needs more explaining. You see I have 3 friends which are very close to me(Beever being one of them by the way). Together we used to play RP games and we all had our characters- mine was Kipiru, Beever's is Guaslagan. Hastor was one of those characters- belonged to one of those friends of mine. Since we turned out to all be artistically inclined- those characters began to appear in different forms- variations of the original RP characters.

[Zedd]

Very nice

[e_voyager]

indeed very interesting to see the changes. did you all do different world rp's

[Kipiru]

Sort of. We actually only played this one world, but since everyone knew the others' characters by heart, we went on and placed versions of these charcters in all sorts of different settings. From classic fantasy to all sorts of sci-fi!

[e_voyager]

classic elseworlds rps' i love them. it's part  of why i still read some DC comics. different perspective on the same character's superman last son of earth was a good one

I think it turned out very well.  Good likeness, good pose.

[Sprocketsdance]

You've done it again! I don't know how you do it.. but you really make people's characters look so darn cool! You're awesome!    (I really love the shoes too for some reason..  )

[Kipiru]

Well, you see Wuffy, people's characters are cool to begin with, so I can't take all the credit there. Noone makes his character with the thought of it being ugly and boring. I simply seem to poses the skills needed to bring out that coolness out and that makes me extremely happy. And, yeah, I like the shoes as well 

[James StarRunner]

Nice work thar.

[Gabi]

I think it looks amazing.

Behold! The very first drawing of Cog's feet, ever!

At least, that's what I seem to recall. This looks awesome, Kiripu. Thank you very much for drawing this for me.

[techmaster-glitch]

This looks awesome, Kiripu. Thank you very much for drawing this for me.

Could it possibly be avatar-material? 

[Lysander]

An interesting pose that you made very well.. I like the wind effect on his coat. Lots of good motion. 

[Kipiru]

Here are two pics that have been in the making for quite some time.
The first one is of two girls from Bulgaria that I had made a promise to, to draw them dancing:
Dancing

And the second one is a picture of Aisha and Gareeku I had promised them after the beach pic incident  as a sort of atonemen on my part, I hope they like it:

Aisha and Gareeku

[Beever]

The most popular word slips again from my mouth.AWSOME

Aisha and Gareeku both look  quite vigorous teamed together and  ready to strike back with full might!
The dancing girls, I  hope they liked their tan, you put extra from it, both you shaded them sexy. The sparkle of the eye beneath the lock  of the girl with the blue jeans- really nice.

One thing ,the fingertips on the other girl's right hand look pretty thin and there is something to be added or maybe taken off her wrist , so that the hand could look more elegant or feminine.That's my opinion.

Keep it going Splendid  buddy!

[e_voyager]

agreed. it is and awesome pic. both of them look like they're ready to face some kind of menace together.
