Artist's Comments

Finally got this done for =nahamut, since I do this every year. And today is her Birthday so I thought I'd draw another one of her characters~

His name is Jikekij, and he's a Acquith. So he's a mixture of fish,wolf and bird. He's really powerful, and he started fighting in wars at the age of nine years old. He's the 'adoptive' father of Maru, whom... I really wanted to draw in this image, but she didn't turn out right, so I just left it like this. Jikekij doesn't really care about his wounds however.. so Maru tends to him, and well.. let's just say he's not very good at understanding emotions.

I really loved his creature design, and I saw a few sketches she showed me in the past. And I used those for reference even though she said she still hasn't finished tweaking his design, so I hope I did alright. I drew this during an Art Block.. and the amount of times I kept procrastinating with everything; such as his pose. I do like how his tail turned out, and over all this isn't really bad at all.

I hope you like it =nahamut~ Happy Birthday!

I've returned from my break, so hopefully I'll be drawing a lot more this summer.. at least, I hope so.

Jikekij! Such an unusual choice, and in a gijinka form >w< :heart:

His colour scheme is really vivid and a nice combo, they're shaded nicely X3 I really like the hair, how you drew it, especially the plaits, I don't think I've seen you draw those before XD
And I also like the detail of the tail, omfg X_x I hate drawing scales, pain in the butt, so kudos to you on those D< :heart: They're all highlighted and everything O| Just...freehanded, I die.

The feathered arms are well done as well here, I have trouble drawing feathered arms like that somewhat, but I've never really practiced it or drawn my character with it [that harpy I think I showed you once] properly Dx but it looks so niceeeee u< I esp. like those pointed ones on his shoulder. And the bandage is bloodied...wonder what happened and if he is wounded here.

Haven't seen a magical ball in a while like that, last time was...Kishiin? I like it X3

Whi will surely love it :heart: It looks really lovely and taken certainly a good deal of time cX Really good job on this Kaori~:heart:

You draw your humanoids very well.

But the firm feet of humility

WOW! It;s so good!The feathers i love! And his hair! :D I hope to see more from you!!!
:iconraisaitsu:
Most definitely..:heart: Well she designed this form for him a long time ago, haha.. but we don't see him in her gallery yet.

I agree, which is really unusual for her, since she doesn't use a lot of vibrant colours. Heheh! I'm glad you think so, I like his hair too, as much as it gave me some trouble. Oh the plaits? I've drawn them on characters before, but hardly any of them were worthy to put up here, and they're old. I love his tail as well~:heart: Scales are chaotic to draw.. but it's worth all the trouble for a great friend. So everything is freehanded even though my wrists are killing me now.

Ahh? They look like sleeves in a way, and I think he could distort his anatomy a bit when shifting form. That's how I see things anyhow..:heart: I've never really done anything like this before, so it was a nice change I think.
Jikekij was probably in a fight of some sort, and got wounded.. so Maru must've given him that bandage. :heart:

Hahah! Damn.. good memory, you're right about that. He looked weird with nothing there, so I just added that effect, and.. I love things to glow.

I've spent ages on this, but I didn't want to give up..since I gave up on the first one. This is much better, however.

I hope she likes it as well~:heart:

Thank you very much, Shinsei~:heart: Much appreciated!

God! Your art only gets better and better, even when I think it can't get any better!
It's so clean and beautiful, and I love all the detail in the hair, fur, feathers, and scales.
Your hair and eyes always look so beautiful :heart:
