I think I'll try again this time after that didn't come to fruition months ago. I've debated on it. (But I'll just have another character take their place)

I see now. I watched The Dark Crystal only a few months ago though I remember it more so with the Skeksi in my head for years. Never grew up with it so it didn't stick as much unfortunately.

Ah, thanks for this piece.

I think I got my request right out of many that you've received (and it was from an animated movie that I watched a year ago and a few times earlier than that XD), but I don't want to be too smug about it haha

Y'know, I was thinking of sending up a generic draconic character, but I might send out a pretty obscure species from a movie I once watched based on what you have posted on your own profile feed so far.

He is a thoriphant from the film Mosley, but he's also an OC that I created a year ago or so.

I guess I'm the 7th out of 10. Hopefully its still open, but I also heard that you weren't that good with furries atm (though you might be practicing on that).

I may as well send out a humanoid character of mine (though species is not mine, should be easy to figure out?) instead

But yeah, aside from yesterday's long ramble, I'll just bite the bullet with what I got at hand and get my paranoia over with. I've seen part of your work on here and I think you're underrated, though I don't like to make compliments so this is just my opinion.

If its a yes or a no, I will take it.

Enter.

I will try again with the same submitted character from last month. If not, then I'll probably have to stop XD (or switch platforms to see if I get lucky there)

ITS FINALLY HERE- THANKS!

It was def interesting to see the other side of what you'd say about drawing dragons and try to like hone in on this skillset.

But yeah, pretty cool that you've settled on their canonical anthro form for the head. (Don't need to apologise though!)

I can see why its gonna be a bit simplified with some of those anatomical changes.

I haven't drawn robots with extra "mecha" details (pr low priority). So a biomechanical creature that I've made in the past does give me leeway and artistic freedom to just go bonkers with the design. But thanks!!!

But yeah the world feels cruel to me at times. This is also why I find art to be my safe space now - some machine-generated image won't replace whatever I drew... but I don't wanna talk too long. I want to send up an OC but I can get paranoid sometimes. I usually just send refs of what I draw so...

I sit here to see how the plagiarism stuff erodes trust. Kind of the reason why I pushed myself towards building up some artistic presence. I knew that I would be better off if I had made an effort if I can find time or focus on that. Just not worth it for some image that can't get anything right.

I am not sure how I could be there to offer an OC from me cos of the paranoia of machine-learning (not "AI"), same thing that I sometimes feel at times... even though I probably have too many OCs at that point.

Its just very easy to know the slop because I seen it so many times that its tiresome.

I would personally describe myself as a lurker though lol

I typically don’t reply that often.
