Well, a good base. Few more defined dreads will make it. Just each second one, you know.

The face is really unique. Especially the mouth area reminds me ... ah, heck ... on whom?! A black musician or actor, I believe?!

Im thinking that beard resembles Samuel L Jackson.

Iunno, I didn't use a reference for this one, so any resemblance is strictly coincidental  X-/

LOL! I'm flattered!

The dreadlocks were Vayl's idea. Rigwyn needed to change his appearance due to circumstances that got a bit out of hand. I changed it in a way that was a compete fashion disaster. Vayl came to the rescue xD

As for Eye color, I'm not sure why I never picked one. So long as it doesn't cause a settings violation, I'll certainly consider red \o/

Whisper Bless!

You do a great take on many characters, and the lines are very smooth!
Good work Mariana, certainly very interesting to see. The one you made of Dakkru is epic, love the mischievous look on her face! :)

I decided to do a different kind of image on Mariana. I think often even I forget that she's not just a beat-em-up pyrofenki. It took me a while to figure out how to show her scars in a "classy" sort of way, but I think I've got it. I hope the image gives the feel I meant it to.

@ Aramara: Thank you very much. I wasn't sure I would like that one as it's not typically the kind of thing I draw, but it turned out better than I thought it would.
At any rate...
Mariana threatened to roast me if I didn't post a more...fitting image of her. So here she is, being her usual self:

The legs may be a bit too humanoid here? Remember, the strongest part of feline legs are the feet, the heel is close to a human knee level.

Shangshi (Otherwise know as Shangster, Shanginator, Shang-a-lang, Shangsheeeeee! and last but not least, Shangsquatch.)

Are his legs too short? Iunno, I look from one angle and they're fine, from another and it's like they're just a TOUCH too short. I might make alterations later. Maybe even shade it, and add a background, if I can think of what to put back there.

Edit: Made his legs that touch longer.
