Redirect to original
Description Update: Changed the info on the ref and fixed a few things

Name: Jillian

Age: 9, but looks around 20 do to the fact that Sand Diers grow much faster

Gender: Male

Species: Greater Sand Dier

Personality: Jillian generally has a calm demeanor, but adapts well to social situations, and tends to subtly flirt with the ladies.

Characteristics: Most of his patterns run down his back and fade down his tail. Those markings are thick dark stripes filled in with lighter color, and the dark coloration of his back gradates lighter. There is a black square like marking under his bottom lip. His tail is thick and much darker in color with rough looking knife like scales that jut out. He is stuck in a hybrid form, but has flexibility in shifting form to a certain extent, although he can not to revert into his natural state. One thing that did not change in his mixed state is his blood. Jillian's blood is a honey like color, and only slightly more opaque. It is also very hot, being that Jillian's inner core is quite hot like the earth's center. He does have some amount of control over it though, meaning his external body temperature mostly, in the case of physical contact with anyone or anything. Though sometimes he will be forgetful, and will accidentally burn things on occasion.

Clothing: White cloths faded with age and slightly tattered with a red sash tied around his lower waist, thick belt underneath that holds a weapon and other convenient things like coins and such.
Sometimes will wear a desert scarf or cover himself almost completely in black desert cloth when traveling through the desert.

Weapons: Uses a finely polished hooked sword (blade made of bone)
but usually his body its self poses as the most effective weapon, especially his thick roughly scaled tail.

I really like your character design and backstory.
What really impresses me is that your character has the look that goes with his past history also.
What I mean is that not only his physic is something I would think of when it comes to someone who's lived a hard life, but the expressions you gave him in this picture too.
The only thing I can think to add is that maybe the scar on his chest could be a little more visible and maybe he should have more scars if he indeed lived a 'scrappy' life.
Just my opinion though, since it says that you're looking for critique.
But seriously, good work.

Thank you! I'm glad you like his background as well!
I'm actually in the process of painting over the images on
his ref since the ref is so outdated, so those will include
the scar on his chest. The reason why he doesn't have
other nicks and scratches is because smaller wounds
generally heal pretty quick on Diers, but something
such as that literally went straight through him and
damaged his core would take much much longer.

Thank you for the critique! I really appreciate it <3
Here is a little screenshot comparison on the overpaint

Ok, well that makes sense then if they heal quickly.
Having a fair number of scars myself I figured it was the best thing someone like me could point out.
You're welcome and good luck!

Do you do commissions for something like this? Flat color preferably, though, because I'm dirt poor and need the cheapest option, haha.

SunDier In reply to Sharkfu [2012-10-04 03:27:11 +0000 UTC]

I haven't thought about doing commissions for refs yet,
but it's probably something I could do. I am not very good with
formatting refs just so you are aware ;v;

His tail is just so damn awesome and I really love how you made a legitimate theory/complication as to why he cannot fully shift into his feral form ;u; poor bby

I'm so glad you like his design!

Yes, man I have so many potential comic ideas for him. I can't wait to have him interacting with the other crew members <3

Yes, and that may be a good thing too xD
Jillian would probably damage the ship in his full form. THERE WOULD BE NO ROOM,
ONLY COILS OF SHARP ROUGH SCALES.
Don't worry though; Jillian is very young, so his core will heal eventually.

I should have explained that, but he doesn't have nipples...unless he shifts down into a completely human form, which he can't completely do. He'll always have that tail UvU

EMI MEN DO NOT FEED BABIES THROUGH THEIR NIPPLES

And Sand Dier babies are fed raw living meat from dying animals
that are brought back to their caves.

Okay not only is he a babe, but his design is goRGEOUS. Sand Dier's are wicked, and Jill's human/Sand dier form is so cool i mean wow look at that.

I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING MORE ON HIS PERSONALITY. You said he's a little pyro at heart, i would love to know more about that omg :>

I know! I love my sand Diers
and I need to draw a ref for them some time <3

I love his more shifted form. He gets taller darker and scalier!

You'll definitely see more of his personality. He is, though he can't really help it. He's all hot inside and sometimes forgets to control his body temp, and ends up burning things!

Well, it took five months. XD But during those five months I was doing pretty much nothing else...

As for the story, well, there are a few bits and pieces living in my head... what the society is like outside of the glimpse I gave in the cave, what led to things being that way, etc. But I haven't really done much in-depth development there...
