The more I look at it, the more it looks like he's holding a cat. I'd probably recommend removing the 'tail', but then again, it's hard to make something that specific immediately identifiable with that kind of limitation.

Well, took the bar off the gun, but have a conundrum. Do you guys think it's better for what amounts to shooting spells for the wind to be faster or slower?

Personally, I's like to be able to have more frames MOVE faster, but that's just not possible, so it's either fewer frames or slower wind.

I think slower works better, it looks a lot more fluid (the one on the right, I'm assuming). It's more whooshy, and if these shots are magical, they need to whoosh somehow.

Looks good TDK. I really havn't watch that show in almost 2 years.

Shoot it or kick it? That is the question on his mind.

So I drew a picture...I honestly don't know how I feel about it. First non-silly thing I've drawn in a while (IE, thing strictly for art purposes, not to goof off.)

Something about the proportions? I dunno. I started with the wings and the stance just sort of...happened. What do you guys think?

(Also I might add clothes. :P)

You have a few anatomical issues there. The foot on the far leg there is good, but the leg itself is rubbery and doesn't have proper musculature. The near leg starts off fine, but breaks down at the knee for the same reason: you straight-lined the calf. It also should have a more bulbous ankle. The foot is passable so long as you're not going for actual anatomy there.

The wings are a bit of a mess. The general curve is okay, but you might want to get rid of the kink at the bottom of the near side, or not, depending on your underlying anatomy. However, the feathers are all the same size, which is completely wrong. The further to the back edges you get, the bigger the feathers should be. They also should be consistently wider for weight-bearing purposes, or else they'd be totally non-functional, and wings that wouldn't really work look strange due to the only reference point being flying birds with wings that do. The length is good, on the other hand. She has roughly 8 feet of wing on either side, which is consistent with the 16-foot wingspan it would take for a human with hollow bones to fly.

Shading to come, but I'm done for at least a little while. :P

Blues: Is most of it fixed now?

Though yes I recognize the wings could be better. My ability to draw wings seems to come and go.
