Actually I did it all today, but as you noticed I kind of screwed it up a bit. I'm just still not good enough with the damn Photoshop. Sorry Tape.

Oh, and you have misspelt Dorcan's name.

Fixed!

The only problem I saw was the compression artifacts.  In all other respects it's awesome.
I have to wonder what Dorcan will do when he sees his mother looking like that, though 

Thanks for sending me the line-art, by the way.  I may need to use this as filler for Project Future unless Ren's phone line gets well soon, so I'll see about restoring the coloured version for that purpose.  If you really did colour all that in one single day you have my greatest respect!

[Kipiru]

Well she is a succubuss right and age is kind of irrelevant to the way they look, so I went all out with her:
Salomere- Dorcan's mother -INSANELY NSFW!!!
And as for Rubi- I guess she got bored of waiting for Daryil to give her back her clothes and thought she might as well strike a pose. And what a pose it is:
Ruby -feathered, but still INSANELY NSFW!!!

[WhiteFox]

Hawt.

The distance between the ribcage and the hip seems kind of long. I mean, on a human skelleton, there's less then a hand span between the two.

Other then that, awesome work. Especially the poses and muscle definition.

And hawt. Did I mention that?

[Gabi]

Yes, I was wondering the same thing about Salomere, but was waiting to hear JP's comments.

Ah, but I had foreknowledge of the project.  True, I'd almost forgotten about it, and I'm still not entirely sure what to make of it, but I knew he was planning to do it.

In terms of anatomy my only real quibble is that Daryil is somewhat buff.  He's actually supposed to be more like Dan in that regard, lean and not terribly muscular.  Yes, Ren's new cast pic has him looking a bit like that, but Ren's excuse for that one was that he was channeling the rendition you did in his birthday present   
(Not that I'm complaining - it's nice and different, it's just not quite how he's supposed to look...)

Well I figured since Daryil is the leader of the clan, he has to have a certain amount of dominance and confidence about his posture. If you take a closer look you'll see that he isn't actually buff, but simply well formed.

Ah, I see where you're coming from.  Daryil doesn't usually pull his weight as leader very much.  For the most part he takes a hands-off approach and lets people live their lives how they want.
Daryil usually only intervenes if there's some special occasion, something he wants from someone, or if one of the clan members is doing something he disapproves of and that has to be something pretty bad, e.g. killing another member or stealing souls.

[Sprocketsdance]

Wow Kipiru.. I am completely floored!!! Especially from the... er.. pin-up posters.. and the line art of them VERY excellent!

[Ghostwish]

Soon, porn of EVERYONE on the forums.

I.. wouldn't go that far, but anyone who asks

I'm gonna get out of here before the flood hits. XD

[Lysander]

Oooo, free porns?       .............j/k

I just need to type how awesome it is that you made this in a day. I mean wow, man.   

[Tapewolf]

Very much so.  I just wish he hadn't saved it with the quality slider set to 30% instead of 95%  
Seriously, R-Mac is adorable.  We may have to go with that kind of design when more panther characters are introduced.

[e_voyager]

looking good kiripu. i'll save it when i get on in a day or two

[Ren Gaulen]

Wow.. Very nice work, Kip. Sorry, couldn't post a comment earlier.

[ChaosMageX]

Kipiru, since you like unicorn characters (since you are one), why not take a look at Ignacious Gisli Furnac?  He's my own personal character that I will soon be adapting to the Furrae universe as I jump on the bandwagon.

I apologize about needing a Fur Affinity account to view the picture, as I drew him naked for reference and thus the picture is Mature rated and NSFW.

Here are some details about him that might not be apparent from the picture:

In the Furrae universe, he's a man-eating mustang class demon equine (like Kria and Aliph Soulstealer), which means he'll have bat-like wings if you choose to draw him with them.
He'll also have some markings but I haven't designed those yet.
His fur color is dirty grey.
His eyes have emerald green irises and blood red scleras, and slitted pupils.
His hair color is auburn red.
His hair color on fire (since he's fire elemental demon) is purple (potassium fueled fire) or black (think Hocus Pocus black-flame candle).
His horn is ruby red and looks like it was cut from a crystal ruby.
His slitted pupils and whiskers from him being a crossbred between a demon equine and a feline being.
The scar circling his right forearm marks where it was severed and re-attached by dark magic.

[Kipiru]

Wow.. Very nice work, Kip. Sorry, couldn't post a comment earlier.

Thanks Ren, it was fun to do, even if it did come out a bit wrong 
As for your ChaosMageX, I usually don't turn down requests and I don't plan on starting now, but I have to say that I am a bit out of shape lately and have a few things piled up, so your request will take a bit longer to do. Keep reminding me though, cause I sometimes tend to forget. And if possible to upload the ref pic somewhere else, cause I haven't got an AF account and frankly don't want one. Other than that- your character sounds fun, plus he's a unicorn- how can I refuse to draw that!

[Tapewolf]

This may help.  I've airbrushed it but even so it's not going to remain there indefinitely.

Thanks a million Tape! ChaosMageX, why are the middle fingers on his hand with hooves and do you really insist on them being there, cause I know it's your char, but that is totally unnecessary and ugly. Other than that, I think I'll genuinely enjoy making this character. Oh, and one more thing- clothing and weapons. Or should I draw him naked like he is here?

The hand design was something I saw somewhere, where someone I can't remember on either DeviantArt or Furaffinity took a new approach to drawing anthro hands by basing the anatomy around the the feet of their animal counterparts.
You can change it if you like, but I prefer all my characters to have at least three fingers, mostly so that they can flip others off. XP

Regarding his clothing, he prefers to wear loose or tight fitting clothing, but nothing too bulky or armor wise, since as a demon he can already harden his skin.
I can't really decide on his clothing at the moment, because I might draw him wearing different things later on.  For now, you might as well draw him in simple cargo shorts.  Whether or not you give him some upper garments is up to you, but it'll probably have to be something minor because of his wings.

When it comes to weapons, he tends to carry around something along the lines of really big final fantasy style swords, in order to compensate for his discrepancies below the belt.  I think I'll let you get creative here too.

His demon markings consists of a series of dark grey spots running in a line from the between the tops of his nostrils all the way up to his horn.  These spots continue under his hair to the back of his head and down his spine, branching off to his arms and legs.

If you've seen Avatar: The Last Airbender, they branch in a similar way to Aang's arrows, except the lines of spots end halfway down his forearms and forelegs (which would be before the hocks of his digitigrade legs), instead of on the backs of his hands.

The spot line also branches onto his wings, wrapping around the metacarpal bones and the outermost carpal bones.
Three more branches break off from the spine to form two circlets around his torso, one at the base of his ribcage and another at his navel, ending at outer boundaries of the rectus abdominis muscles (the six-pack in layman's terms).
The third wraps around his neck and ends at the Sternocleidomastoideus muscles that form the anterior triangle of the neck.

To be exact, these side branches branch from the spine at points aligned with the first five chakras of the body, with the arm and wing lines both branching from the heart chakra point.  The leg lines branch at the root chakra, and the circlets branch at the sacral, solar plexus, and throat chakras.
In fact, like most unicorns, his horn could also be considered to be the point of his third eye chakra.

I hope that that's more than enough information for you to draw him, and I thank you very much for doing so.

If I ever get off my lazy ass and do it, he'll be appearing along with a giraffe amazon, a pyromaniac fallow deer, few other equines, and a nerdy bovine in a comic called "Flagrate Ungulates".

Right, so here is my gift for Dannysaysnoo form the CCC- open for critique:
Danny

and a character of Ghostwish:
Zanfib

[Tapewolf]

Ooh, like Danny's shirt.  Shouldn't he be holding the world's last electric guitar or something, though?   

[techmaster-glitch]

that's one hell of a tail on Zanfib

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

The word that Ghostwish always uses to describe him is "Ringtail"


I had always thought he meant some sort of rat 

[Ghostwish]

To put an IM conversation I had with Basilisk upon seeing Zanfib's rendition..

SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

I love it!

And to you sillies about his tail, I can't believe yall haven't heard of a ringtail!

Linkage!: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring-tailed_Cat

He's just oddly colored for a ringtail, really. ^^

[Sprocketsdance]

Oh too cool Kipiru! It's nice to see Zanfib for some reason I had a hard time actually visualizing him (heh, sorry Ghost =P) just because of the wacky colors... of.. er.. being monochromatic.. XD

Yet another girlfriend's fantasy self! Curious enough she is camera-shy, but has nothing against me drawing her. Not that I'm complaining or anything

I've always loved your costume and armor designs, and this is no exception (and no, it has nothing to do with how revealing they are, although I suppose it helps )

Just a couple of small suggestions; instead of using greys for the shading, maybe you could try using colors like shades of purple or blue instead. Also, don't mix up airbrush shading with cel-shading; use one or the other, but not both.

[Gabi]

Yes, her attire is very well drawn. It looks like the kind of thing a fire witch would wear... for sexual foreplay.
