Artist's Comments

Respectively.

This came about because I can't let the words a 'creature somewhere between a kangaroo, a small dinosaur, and a draft horse' pass out of my mouth without illustrating them. For those bold/bored souls who made it through the monster post from the other day, I'd be interested to know if your mental image of Brogan was anything like mine? (I did ditch the leather-hided bit and went with fur, because I am weak.)

One thing I'd like to know, whether you read the background or not, is if you can tell Marie (the heron) is female, as I'm still working on the whole female animal thing and some feedback on that area would be lovely.

Eventually I'd like to draw these two in their less furry/feathery states. We'll see if it happens.

And, if you missed it, this is the short story these characters belong to. [link]

On a side note... OMG guyz, I have a serious addiction. Irish folk music. Is amazing. Sorry. I've been listening to "I'll Tell Me Ma" on repeat for like, fifteen minutes. Ahahaha! Ha ha har! My god, I luv eet, I luv eet all.

I dunno if it would work for you or not, but you might try giving the heron longer eyelashes to lend to a more feminine look?

I, too, love the expressions. You're one of my favorite artists for sure. Fantastic work!

I just love how you manage to give your characters all these great facial expressions!!

When I hear the names of Brogan and Branagan, several things come to mind:
1. This.
2. A foreign brandy of some sort (Irish, perhaps? lololololol)
3. Hulk Hogan
4. A bizarre game show from the 80's

Yes. However, I must say your rendition of Brogan are MUCH more refined and better than what I thought him as originally. :XD: But my thoughts are past and what's left is now. And it is awesome. I personally think the fur is a nice touch. :aww:
And Branagan is GORGEOUS!! :love: I agree that eyelashes will make her a bit more feminine, but I could tell she was female before then, what with all of her fancy jewelery and such. :D

In short: wow. awesome. :clap: Moar?

I will not lie, I thought the heron was a guy. The look to me said something like 'I am one magnificent bastard', but I suppose it could also be 'sultry'.

Maybe the eyelashes thing would work. I am honestly not sure how to make an animal look more female, particularly as that doesn't always equal 'feminine'. Oh well. I can't help.

At any rate though, it's an awesome illustration.

This helped my mental image alot. To tell you the truth, I was actually having some trouble picturing Brogan. All I could come up with was an iguanadon for some reason :O_o: But I like this much better. My iguanadon was quite ugly.
Branagan I like. That's about how I pictured her, but she was wearing a sunhat for some reason. Again, I have no idea why. Truthfully, if I hadn't read the story, I would have assumed she was a guy with a fetish for necklaces. A sunhat and eyelashes would help, I think.
