Description I am trying to get to the final design of a creature from Natailor world - a Fleglyx
Making the legs is superhard. It should be something anatomical between horse and dog...

It is domesticated mountable horse like animal.
Fleglyxes were domesticated by Dikarians and they are still the best breeders and riders of them.

Yess-I love seeing original critters! the anatomy is nice. Is this individual supposed to have hid croup-backside- higher than his shoulders? OR is that the breed standard/flaw?

Ah thank you -^^-
I appreciate your feedback!

Well, breed standart... as I wrote below, the anatomy is changing over 4 years now from "more like lizard" to "more like a horse". And I couldn't get to the version I had vision of. But now I am the most satisfied with it's look so far.
I was looking on thoroughbred racehorse stock to get the right sport looking body. But horses belly is too wide so I also looked on dog's body to make fleglyx look more dexterous as they are.
As I see now according to your comment, yes the shoulders are a little shorter than backside. It is probably because with higher shoulders the neck looked too much wide and I didn't want it.
...So what should I do now? Lowing hips same as increasing the shoulders would probably look weird. Maybe it is because it's front legs are not stanging narrow? And... you know every creature is individual so maybe it won't cause problems-I hope.

Sad part is that this creature probably won't enjoy it's moment of sunshine because I quit drawing a comic about world where are they from long lime ago. What I wanted now was to finally draw fleglyx as it should look like and draw it's types of coats and equipment/tacks and as an anatomy base to look at during drawing ocassional pictures with them.

Thoroughbred is a nice choice. I really like their shape, and use it along with saddlebreds and orlov trotters for my own creatures. Yeah, horses are quite wide, which is a roadblock for me as well, but luckily, as artist we can just edit that. The higher hip thing isn't much of a problem- you can always draw more individuals if you ever wanted to with the correct alignment. I didn't notice before, but his hips are probably higher because you have his back legs out a little bit, like he wants to run. So it's not much of a problem. The legs look great. 
 I can't wait to see a fleglyx's coat colors!

Was this what you were having problems with, lovely? I think the Fleglyxes looks amazing~! You said legs are super hard, but I think they came out wonderfully! Much better than what I can do. It is such a unique creature, and I really love how it has come out in sketch so far~! You have the most amazing world, and I really love seeing you sketch and create things from it~!

Yes this is the problematic creature It has four designs so far after 3years.
But now I am getting to the final version.

A lot of people told me they like the 2010 version the most but this is not the right vision from me. At first it should look like as lizard and it even had small wings. But then I refused and wanted something more natural. So I started remaking fleglyx to look more like a horse.
And 2014 design is the one I am most satisfied with so far ^^
I am glad you like it, dear ^v^

I say whatever version fits for you, lovely. I love all versions, as it looks like evolution of Fleglyx, but this one is my favorite.
