Description He's an anthropologist EDIT jk, he's an architect.

My much better attempt at a goaty person.

If you're interested in seeing more concept art for ~Spatty and my project, head this way ~

I was right next to you when you made this, lol, so you know how awesome I think it is already.
As I remember, we just kinda picked one color for his fur so to kinda fill in the space and not spend forever trying to figure out his exact look, like if he should have a pattern or whatever...
He looks good the way he is of course. I think it's best if we don't complicate his fur coat and keep his look kind of simple. BUT, something we brought up was making the little tuft on his chest white, so it'd look like he was wearing an ascot or something, lol. So, just reminding you about that, in case you wanna revisit Plu sometime.

Yeah, I had a fur pattern planned out for him until I actually started coloring lol. With clothing a pattern seems too much, I prefer simplicity~


I'm not sure about making the chest tuft white... but I definitely think it should be puffier, it's too small as is. Also, I was gonna throw Plu in the character line up just because, but I forgot haha. Cuz we haven't established hasho height yet or anything

Spatty In reply to rontufox [2012-05-26 18:30:30 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, if he was naked, he could have the fur pattern... otherwise, he'd look too distracting and complicated.

Really, you think his chest tuft is too small? I think it's a good size.

I kind of imagine hasho being at the same height as the ramaloo (standing on their 4 feet of course, not 2, lol)... like, maybe they'd have the same eye-level.

rontufox In reply to Spatty [2012-05-26 18:52:27 +0000 UTC]

Maybe, you're right, I dunno...

That'd work, cuz originally the hasho stood at human shoulder-height, and it looks like being eye level with ramalloos would match that haha

Spatty In reply to rontufox [2012-05-26 19:02:50 +0000 UTC]

Yup! I like that too, cus then if/when the PAs meet them, they would make an even more direct link between the hasho and ramaloo

I love the lines and the line of dynamics in his spine lead the eye nicely up and down the body which makes him even more pleasing to look at

Hes really cute and I love how you drew him with a large nose/nose bridge like goats have ^^

If I could say anything, goat tails don't really look that poofy, but besides that it is very cute none the less, and I love how he is an anthropolgist. I could easily imagine him in a fantasy story

Good work again Rontu, I can't wait to see more of your concept art!

Yeah, I didn't want all of his features to be entirely goat-like, so I made his tail resemble more of a llama and his ears, uh... I just made them cute and huge to be honest. I thought the changes would make him look less like a goat walking upright and more like a goaty animal person thing

Geez, I love what you said about the line dynamics, cuz actually this is kinda the first time I was making conscious decisions about the line shapes while I was drawing, so I felt really cool. I'm glad it translates when you look at it.

Thanks!

oh gotcha gotcha Now that you mention it I like it better that you considered adding other animals. His ears actually look like a goats XD

It was easy to translate Like I said it really adds to the piece, too much to just say it was cute and leave it at that

you're always welcome ^^

He is insanely cute.
Not sure if you posted him here to get opinions, or just to show what you had done so far, but its kinda hard to have an opinion without knowing more about the little guy. I am curious to learn more about him!
I like him so far, and you take on an anthropormorphic character (in his anatomy and proportions) is really unique.

rontufox In reply to the-lest [2012-02-25 16:41:30 +0000 UTC]

Usually I post concept arts in order to show them to , my partner in crime for this project, so we can talk about the ideas and make changes, etc. Getting other people's feedback is great plus
Though this time around, I was over at her house while I made this, so I just posted it cuz I like it

I'm glad you wanna know more about him, but I'm at a loss to tell you anything cuz... well I don't know anything about him! He's based off an old old character we used to have, and I'm not sure how much of his original personality is gonna transfer to this one. But the old version of him is just basically a super kind and gentle foreigner I guess.

I'm glad you find him cute, cuz I definitely want him to be adorable and likable upon first sight Usually I hate/am creeped out by anthropomorphic characters, so I try really hard to make my animaly people not like that lol.

the-lest In reply to rontufox [2012-02-25 17:18:45 +0000 UTC]

Well, I will look forward to finding out more about him when you do have some info to post. As for him being cute, I don't usually like characters that are OVERLY cute to the point of sickly sweet, but I think you've hit a good balance.

And I agree when it comes to anthro characters. I don't like them when they have detailed anatomy. A fox or something with tits and pigtails just seems wrong. I also don't see the point in anthro characters that basically are just like furry humans. I'm talking about when they retain only about 1% of their animal features (that usually being fur) and otherwise act and look completely human. Just make it a human character! I guess that's why I struggle with my own anthro OC's, because I created them about 5-10 years ago when I was for some reason a furry fan, and now I've grown up I'm trying to update them to my current style, but it's tricky business. I guess you're making similar changes with updating your OC to your current style (though maybe if you weren't a fur fag like me, it won't be quite so tricky!)

rontufox In reply to the-lest [2012-02-26 23:00:21 +0000 UTC]

I've always been annoyed with anthros (the very humanoid ones), simply because I feel like giving an animal that many human characteristics is just degrading to the animal I mean, animals are cool cuz they're not human lol. Plus there's always super sexual stuff going on with them, which I'm not into to say the least... so no, I wasn't ever a fur fag The revamp of this guy was to make him simpler, and more goaty. My older versions looked more feline and were overly complicated.
