Reminds me of the demon unit from Glest. 'Cept darker.

Did you base it off one of the troll sprites? It's pretty decent.

Actually, he either made from scratch or based it off one of my crappy outlines (It is a long story).

Nah I didn't take it off the troll. Let's just say I felt "inspired" by your blob Espreon.

The feet don't quite seem to turn at the same angle. But that aside, it looks very good. Nice work.

Very nicely done, Blueblaze. Though it does look a lot like a troll with horns, and a sword. Keep up the good work! :D

Was working on this last night for practice/fun. Was coloring Eternal's fire dragon. I'll postpone working on it for now though. Comments/suggestions appreciated.

Wow, that turned out very well. Though the right wing looks a bit odd, but that might still be because it's just a WIP. Just a bit flat, that's my thought.

Oh, I'll post Eternal's so you can see what part I legitimately did. Mainly the legs and chest are what I filled in.

I have to agree, I think it's a matter of the leg getting larger as it heads down the foot, instead of staying the same size or getting smaller to reflex the change in muscle.

WRT fire dragon: your colour choices are not so good. Continuing the colour scheme from the visible fore quarter would be far preferable to goign back to the bright cartoony red of the older fire dragon. The scheme Eternal already used there makes the dragon look far hotter and more dangerous. The outlines of the scutes (neck and belly-scales) looks a little too dark, but otherwise good. The major issues I have currently are the claws (which don't really look sharp... not sure how to go about fixing this though - sharper points and less heavy outlines would help) and the rear thigh, which you've made to look very flat. Those issues aside, the actual work quality is good. It's difficult to shade such large, comparatively flat areas well at sprite scale, but you're doing an excellent job of it.
