7, 15, & 50
7. If you could be a mythological creature, which would you choose?
A dragon, but a small dragon, like the size of a fox.
15. Which element best represents you?
Probably water? I love watching flowing water and listening to rain, and storms are my favourite.
50. invent your own word. What does it mean?
Qwyped - a state of emotional exertion when you’ve been working on a project really intensely for like three weeks, and you have no idea how you’re going to meet the deadline, but you have no option other than to just keep going, e.g. “I’m completely qwyped”,prounounced “Kwiiped”.

Posting art consistently has always been a challenge, and part of that is because of me insisting every art I post be a fully rendered and complete piece, which is a mentality I'd like to do away with.
So here's a quick kwiip. Tweeked the ears a bit.

A kwiip in their native desert environment, where the rocks and sands shine white, strong winds carve the plateaus, and there are plenty of succulent pollen pods to stay hydrated with as long as you run fast and far. I want to practice backgrounds more, so here’s a quick practice. I feel my biggest challenge is shading with enough values.

Went through some old sketchbooks and found an old alien design - the kwiip - I wanted to revisit. Left pic is from 2016, right pic is 2021.
They’re a species from the same taxonomy as the masaka, and I redesigned them to better fit in the same evolutionary tree as them. Main changes were turning the Mega Mewtwo Y headtail into a crest, giving them a total of 5 limbs (with the two midlimbs fusing into one), and changing their life cycle from complete metamorphosis to incomplete metamorphosis. I think it’s cool to see what changed and what stayed the same!
These guys are pretty much my homage to Wayne Barlowe’s Gyrosprinters from Darwin 4
