Description Here is my avatar Alimar. He is from the Sci-Fi story I’m writing. It took me about 8 hours with .7 mm mechanical pencil. He is also currently in a series I’m writing in another setting. Take a look at my journal to read story.

Please look at it full view. Though I haven shaded yet. (Which I will do later.) There is a lot of detail to it.

My character Alimar is © to me. Alimar, the reason why he isn’t a full Retral'equae is because of his energy and replication of cells. He can only transform until his energy and his cells are taxed to the limit. Every time he transforms he is ‘extremely’ hungry. No surprise there. Here is a little description of him. It’s a little different than my ID.

An eighteen year old boy. Was caught in an ‘accident’ of sorts. Due to a genetic mishap, his body was fused with Retral'equae DNA. Since then, James was able to turn into his other self. This self, only knew emotion, not intelligence. So every time he transformed he becomes mindless and feral. Destroying both friends and enemies in his path. But, even if the rampancy was enough, his Retral'equae DNA is rewriting his old human DNA.

Alimar, which is what he calls himself in his Retral'equae form. Is thrown into an intergalactic struggle for survival. He arrives only too late to save his legendary home world named Earth. But strange enough. He finds a ship. A ship that might, one day, change the fate of the human race itself.

I am really proud of this drawing. I hope you like the summary of my book! Notice the scars across his whole body. Man I could go on like this forever. If you look closely on some parts. He is beaten up. There are scar’s everywhere. But even that cant stop him, even if his race is doomed.

I’d like to credit the D&D book Draconomicon, and other artists on DA for helping me with this project.

I might put some more description later. But I think this is good for now. Critique hard so I can better myself. Again, I'm going to put in shading in the future.

Alimar.

ARRRRGGGGGHHHH!!! I hate that left hand!!!!! Though I cant help it. I cant do hands that well. (Don't tell me that my other deviation was good. I know it was. That was just lucky!)

P.S. The armor is the armor in my TF story. I have yet to develop the real armor for my Sci-Fi one.

UPDATE: I shaded it. Hope you like it. I'll put in a background soon. It was shaded using only my .7 mm mechanical pencil. No smudge sticks or anything. That took about another 6 hours.

If you download it and enlarge it. You can see pixeles. Thats only because I printed out a copy of my original to shade. And my printer is finicky so yeah. Just ignore that

Put a frame around it, looks a bit nicer.

Alimar In reply to Humbadumba [2010-01-30 20:21:42 +0000 UTC]

Change is Different is the sequel to AOAL. Ignis Fatuus is a totally different setting and story.

Really cool! The shading and the scratch detail are nice.
I love the tail, very good job on that.

The wing arms just seem a little bit thin in my opinion.

Well he can't fly. He can only glide for short amounts of time. Possibly that's why? lol

this is neat i like the armer and the face ^^ i think anatomy wise the hands should be bigger, a ruler could help get the blade on the sword straight on the handle, the knees maybe you can use 1 line to indicate the knee cap, um..... shading could use some work... i think thats about it i like it a lot though ^^ oh i forgot, luv the long tail ^^

Alimar In reply to master964 [2008-07-23 02:41:32 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I get that a lot. He's not a dragon but a combination of two different species. Thats why I just say Dragon, because It doesn't confuse them as much.

Quite a good drawing seeing as you used only 1 medium.

Well done, tho something with the legs seems out of place? cant describe it tho!

Well, keep up the good work.

Now I guess I'll tackle that huge story in ur journal, wish me luck 0o!

Dragonphlu-Solaris [2007-12-27 21:15:37 +0000 UTC]

zomg its so hot! I love the shading, were you erasing and smudging for hours because the shade inside the wings looks authentic. The head pose is great, but I feel it would look bettr looking to the left, because I feel the body is angled that way. Otherwise I WANT MORE PLOX

Alimar In reply to Dragonphlu-Solaris [2007-12-28 04:27:35 +0000 UTC]

Thanks very much. Actually "I HATE SMUDGING" its just artists preference. I think i said in the description that all I used was a 7mm mechanical pencil.
