Your puns are not purrfect for you, as much as you might claw your way to the title, will never have the tailtle to call yourself the pun master.

There can only be one, young pawdawan.

"Small roster"

Zeig, if you keep this up I will implode from envy. You seriously must consider the actions of being so talented, as the quote goes  "with great talent comes great chance of being consumed by a hungry talent-stealing machine built by rodents."

I based him on a rainbow lorikeet which usually have bright yellow or orange feathers. But now that I look at it, I can see what you are trying to say about the colour. This was only a rough design so i'll keep that in mind when I draw him again

I know you did - I live in perth, don't I? sometimes scores of the noisy buggers will be flying over your head.

I'd recommend adding some yellow to balance the warm colors out, but be creative

It looks great, how do you do flat drawings that well? Any tips?

Looks fantastic - I'm a sucker for parrot hippogriffs/griffons, and I'm actually making one myself .

The color scheme has a bit too much orange though, it makes him a bit oversaturated to look at.

YOU ASKED FOR THIS

Ah, that pose is very cool. even if he is holding his sword the wrong way.  

Man, Quil'in are getting popular..

Or maybe you're just pushing them on the world en masse.

A quick definition of popular

I have seen three Quilin OCs.

WOW!

YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO - MUAHAHAHAH!

Now I can draw your ponysona. muwahahhaa

I like the color scheme, it gives him a rustic feel, like a Chinese pottery or traditional clay sculpture.

I've drawn dragons for about 7 years now and I can give you some advice on smoke, don't let it all puff into a small cloud unless it's supposed to be an angry bull-style signify that the character is mad. letting it trail upwards until the picture ends or letting it fade gives it a more smokey feel and will better enhance the effecn But past that, I have a whole anatomy thing that I made just for this so I could point out some things that can help in general!  

Alight! So I did this sketch of Jijing Fengbao's Anatomy (At least in my style, we'll get to that) so I could give you some pointers, as I notice anatomy the most in drawing.

these things I'm adding are based of my experience and might vary.

When sketching past beginner's it'll become hard to define the shape of what you want to draw unless you're REALLY good at picturing it in your head or you have practiced the topic for years (I used to do this with dragons). However, in either of these cases (including dragons) It's a big help to put these things in your picture before anything else.

ANATOMY CIRCLES.

anatomy circles are your blueprint (Hence why they're drawn in blue  ) for drawing and it helps to put these down before drawing as not only will they give your picture more shape, but they'll also help making sure that all features are the right size and of equal length. putting in lines between them (I prefer to put my lines on the outline of a body part, e.g a leg or neck, but some people prefer to put them in the middle) helps you figure out the shape of an object connecting two features, and it identifies - this neck is curved, this is a straight leg, ect. You might think that's unneccesary because well - you know that from doing the picture. but our brains tend to get caught up on what we're doing and without those guidelines on your pony you'll end up drawing things a bit wonky. Another thing before I continue is that forlegs (arms in bipeds like humans, forelegs in things like ponies and guinea pigs.) and rear/hind legs have around four joints in a pony, which to accommodate anthromorphized gestures aren't correctly jointed as they would be in real life have a lot of angle to use, and because of this it's important to remember that point 1 (the shoulder) is always in the same spot, Point 2 is always a reflex in behind, Point 3 is always an acute-to reflex and the hoof point/point four follows the same rule. Hind legs are easier, just being that none of them can be reflex and joint two must always be acute. if they ever go past these limits (Highlighted in two, red) they'll look disjointed. I noticed Jijing's left hind leg was a bit straight from these limits which makes it look a bit odd. this applies to the body too! If you stretch the torso circles too far apart the pony will look a bit like a sausage dog, too close and they'll look squashed. make sure that the back is going down or up to meet the torso, but never straight. some of the rules might vary a bit (you'll pick up your own for your own drawing style, you probably already have lux), and this is coming from my drawing style, which is very... angular. (Things that I think are purely designed my style, such as the exaggerated ankle joints are in yellow)

Another thing is -

PERSPECTIVE. (spective...spective....spective..)

This is easily the most important thing to do when having clear non-messy artwork (unlike mine) done in outline pen like yours, because a simple flick of pen here and there and it can look a bit strange. I can't give you as much help here because my experience is with art that has enough lines to do perspective without it. make sure your pictures is           always looking from a specific view only, as anything else will confuse the viewier. once you've got your shot, make it so anything closer is on top of your layers (photoshop) and anything further away will be lit darker in shadows or will be fainter. this might seem trivial but it's actually essential otherwise you will clutter your pony.

A final note is that this is a really nice color scheme, and what I gave you is just a few pointers. keep it up!

Ah. thanks for clearing that up.

A question. is her blue coat fur or scales? She's a Qui-lin (Apologies if that's written wrong), so it should be scales? or is it just her underbelly?

Lovely photo, I'm just really confused.

Ach, I'll just check the character application.

It's really good though.

If I could steal talent (if only) you would be in grave danger.

Oh god, forest of the library scared me when I watched it at my grandmother's house. she had this narrow corridor to the bathroom and didn't like turning the lights on because of the power costs. so I'd have to go down the corridor in the dark to take a wee. after that episode someone had to be at the end waiting for me to finish. then a mouse made a sound one day and the light had to be on. I think that's why my grandmother never liked me.

Oh. something relevant.

do you use Photoshop? if so, TEACHMEPLEASE

how do color?

how so good?

I have so many questions that will no doubt be thrown at you when you least expect them.

Father pig likes watching movies every wensday and friday

Father pig has bad ears - solution? Ear bleed volume.

Father pig watches these before bedtime

Father pig is not appreciated when he does this.

one of her legs is being overclipped by her...plot, which gives the impression that her ...plot is in front of her legs, which is rather strange.

I do like the dress design, but her breasts seem rather large and do not flow into her chests, making them look like levitating white balls rather then nunga-nungas.

Still, a nice drawing.

I'm going to have to be the party pooper here, But from my memory it is against the rules to use pony creator artwork.

So what shoul I attempt to draw? o3o

Llamas be havin' longer necks, methinks. Also, I know for a fact that there are multiple Alpaca fans in this fandom, so I'mma place my bets on this being one of them Alpaca things

Also, I love this Alpaca character here. Great work! x3

It's a defensive strategy. floof up so not only is damage negated,  but you unleash a killer weapon of adorableness.

Lama or alpaca? *Strokes fluffy pig chin thoughtfully*
