Description I went back and made a less generic looking version of the bear fish and also made sure to develop the idea more as well.

Without the sketches: xionix-kun.deviantart.com/art/…

This creature resides beside bodies of water in order to find bottlenecks for fish so they could easily catch a meal. They have similar behavior patterns to bears but they have a life cycle more similar to that of salmon or other similar fish. They have offspring that go through a nymph stage where they have no legs but fins instead that they use to swim through the thick air (I'll draw one of these later). 

These creatures tend to stay in the same area because they are very territorial but if they are forced or end up leaving their territory they easily shift into very aggressive animals with eventual changes in their colors and physiology. 

Hunting This Creature: They are very docile unless attacked but they are very strong. They have very slow movements at first but once they strike they are very fast. This is also similar to their locomotion patterns: slow at first but they can dash at a quick pace.

Taming This Creature: Food, use food to gain trust in this creature but also show that you are strong by challenging it to a sparring match once it trusts you enough. Survive the sparring match and you may have made yourself a new partner.

Thanks! They'd actually probably have pretty similar diets to large fresh water turtles now that I think of it so yeah!

One that's in my head I guess, I like to make up games or stories that my creatures may fit in.

Thank you! I kind of got used to drawing things static in an isometric pose so i'm trying to get back into some dynamic poses.

They look almost kind of like a TFIW Toraton...
Looks great!

Xionix-Kun In reply to WorldBuildersInc [2015-06-27 23:33:52 +0000 UTC]

I love TFIW and yeah I guess so, those are a lot bulkier though. I don't really see it other than the beak.

WorldBuildersInc In reply to Xionix-Kun [2015-06-28 19:50:04 +0000 UTC]

The head/neck is what I was talking about, yeah. I have all three time periods of the TFIW series on DVD.

They are kind of cute, and their face remember me of a parrot :3,maybe they can make bird-like sounds (?),   but one of my favorite parts are the way you make the hands, your creature is very original congratulations!

Xionix-Kun In reply to lobisco1 [2015-06-27 05:04:01 +0000 UTC]

Yes I believe the face has been subconsciously affected by my pet parakeet! Thank you the hands were really fun to draw.

lobisco1 In reply to Xionix-Kun [2015-06-29 06:23:48 +0000 UTC]

That explains why they are so cute    but somehow badass at the same time.

Xionix-Kun In reply to lobisco1 [2015-06-29 08:45:23 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad you think so, its pretty hard to draw with a bird sitting on your drawing hand the whole time screaming whenever you move too fast.
