Description

100 theme challenge #94 - "Character As A Different Species"

There's a lot to be said about this pic, so here goes. *deep breath* I've always wanted to do a pic of this scene from The First Step, but I could never seem to get it to work right. :hmm: I got the idea from this lineart ([link]) which you'll notice is very similar. Wanted to do my own version, though. :D Koto and Shifu are wolves!!! :love: Did plenty of reference research to try and make them look a little more realistic than I've been doing (which is why Koto has four toes and Shifu doesn't.........:dead:). Not too happy with Koto's back right leg, though......

The lighting was kinda fun. :D I'm inclined that this was what it would've looked like in a movie - after all, Koto was ushering Shifu to bed when Ju-long attacked.

P.S. - See the snake bite? :D

Koto and Shifu as wolves, how perfect is that? <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l…" width="19" height="19" alt=":la:" title="La la la la"/> <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="37" height="25" alt=":squee:" title=":squee:"/>

I think you did very well with this. The expression on each of their faces is very well done! Their body proportions are great; the only thing I would say about it is that Shifu's body appears to be a little short, but he is under Koto's arm...er leg, and his back half could be turned slightly, which would give the impression that his body is short. In the overall though you did a great job with their different sizes and making them look the appropriate size next to each other.

I love the colors and lighting/shading here; it really adds to the mood of this. It's such a sad thing. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/f…" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)"/>
The fur looks spot on, from the color to the texture. I think you did excellent with it!

I loved this before I even knew it was a take on Kung Fu Panda characters. Looking at this makes you feel so sad for the pup. When I first saw this I was like "no! the poor wolves! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n…" width="15" height="15" alt=":noes:" title="Noes!"/> "

You made red pandas into great looking wolves, and that I'm sure wasn't easy. Very well done with this! Keep up the good work!
