Description Guess who! Yep, it's Rivin, in his uber anthro form. I had the sketch up in my scraps for a while now, but I just got around to finishing it. Played around with my shading technique a bit...a little bit harder here, a little bit softer there. Makes it a little smoother than before. And beware my speedpainted ocean of doom! I wanted have a similar background to the original Seabeast Rivin , but instead of a raging wave it's calm water.

So, about him. He's six-foot-something, handsome, single... No, wait, wrong description! I'm actually not sure what to say about him. In this form he loses the glowies from his sails, the sails themselves are much smaller, and while clothed the sail on his back is pressed down so you can't really see it. His cape divides in half partway down to go around his tail. He loses most of Rivin's normal powers (size-shifting, hovering, boiling water breath weapon) but gains the ability to create energy weapons, his preference being a bow or shortsword if close combat is required. Hm...anything else you can ask about.

I like the form and clothing style; also, nice cape! What would you recommend if I wanted to make one like it?

It sort of resembles a traveler's outfit, minus the staff and bag of course.

Nice work!

Thanks! I designed it to be kind of a mix between modern and fantasy clothing styles.

You're welcome.

I like the cape the most! I wonder what's the best place to start when making a cape similar to yours.

If that's not a sinister smile, it's a 'Hey bebe, c'mere...' smile. Hehehe Nicely done! I was surprised to see him in clothes! I love his shoes o.O

TaiStormsword In reply to Reidyn [2007-07-11 16:33:05 +0000 UTC]

! I never saw it that way. But I guess it does look a bit like that too.

Hehe, yeah. I've seen anthros drawn with shoes like that and I love them. Probably a lot more comfortable than the inflexible shoes humans wear.

He is rather dashing isn't he? You do a very good job on anthro characters. He's standing there looking so natural and cool as a cucumber. And you have to love that grin!

Haha, yeah, I'm much more comfortable drawing anthro than drawing animalistic characters. Thanks!

Newzfoxjr In reply to God-X [2007-07-10 14:21:02 +0000 UTC]

I kind of agree with osiris here...while it looks good, it'd be very awesome with more shading. I think you're scared of sucking at shading or something, you should just try heavier shading.

But aside from that, very nice job, leagues ahead of anything I could do with the same equipment you have.
