Sapphirus +Skeleton Anatomy+ by iSapphirus Sapphirus +Skeleton Anatomy+ by iSapphirus
Update: Comments off, for noob flamers lol.

Yeah...Had to print out bone references of human, Bird wing, dragon wing, and dinosaur/dragon tails.

I'm satisfied atleast. The bottom half didn't attack properly for some reason ._.


Sapph's bones are pretty much the same hardness of steel (made a typo on the pic).

Black area are her unlimited power suply areas, the black claw tips are were her acidic poisons seep out at.

It seems to be quite an overpowered character. Does s/he have any weaknesses?

Yeah, I had a look at the other pics, and the character still seems a bit overpowered. And since I didn't cme accross any mentions of it, I'm just curious if she has any weaknesses, like Superman has Kryptonite and Vampires have sunlight - and they are very powerful creations as well, mind you. So yeah, I'm just curius. :)

When I saw that you were going to draw a skeleton of your character, I was happy, really, I was. I thought you would try to draw the skeleton and realize that some of her structures are just utterly impossible. For example, her second set of wings (which you somehow turned into sprinewings, and I won't even go into how HORRIBLE that is, if only because she some tugs a little too hard on them that character could become paralyzed from the waist down) and her gigantic twin tails that a human body simply cannot support, unless they're like, all muscle or she has one giant spine.

I see now, however, that I was simply expecting too much of you. I would recommend you drawing yet another skeleton, but I fear that you would just repeat what you did here, so let me give you some advice. STUDY the human body. Not just...copy what you see, actually study it. Study why spine-wings DON'T WORK, why such large tails WON'T WORK and why your weird skeleton is not supporting even the first set of wings correctly! Remember that wings are just modified arms, I really don't know how someone would have both arms and wings, unless they have, like, mutated clavicle and scapulae, or something, as those bones support the muscles that let wings flap and our arms move.

Also, wings don't look like that. Try again. Bird wings do not look ANYTHING like that. You gave her two modified bat wings.

There is also no such thing as unlimited power. Conversation of energy? Basic physics? Ever heard of it? If she has an "unlimited power supply" Then...uh...that'll be adding more energy into the universe which is impossible. Also, if her bones are as strong as steel, and I'm assuming you mean my mass, then she won't be able to fly. The only way birds fly is because their bones are hollow. And fragile.

I'm sure you'll throw that "magic" argument in my face, but keep this in mind. Magic does NOT negate the laws of physics or anatomy. There must be limits and laws to magic as well.

Ahahahaha...first of, it wasn't really a critique since I barely touched on what is wrong with the picture, it was advice and pointing out your obvious flaws in logic. You SHOULD draw another skeleton, do you know why? Yes, it was a test, and it was pretty good for a first try, which is why you need to try and try again until you can get. It. Right. If you just give up after one try, you won't ever really learn. You do want to learn, right? I'm assuming you do as you do, as you want to pursue art as your future. Well, listen up, 'cause there is no way any art college will want you if you keep drawing like this and then giving up whenever you're slightly discouraged. Good artists don't give up because a picture didn't turn out the way they want it too. Great artists step out of their safety zone and draw what they are bad at so they can improve.

YOU, however, only draw what you are used to drawing, anthros, your characters, and dragons. I have perhaps seen you branch out three times, once here, once when you painted that Sephiroth picture, and once when you attempted to draw Sapphirus realistically.

Here's my challenge to you, get the hell out of your safety zone, and your ego while you're at it, and really work hard to improve. Two years you've been on deviantart, and your art has, if anything, gotten WORSE. You're trying to run when you can barely walk. LEARN anatomy, like, really learn it. Learn how to draw folds and muscles. Learn how wings and tails properly attach to a body. Draw more diverse things. The human body is perhaps one of the hardest things to draw. Draw from life, draw your laptop, your pencil case, your window and bed and doors and for once in your life LEARN and IMPROVE.

You know what? You're right. I do need to step up things and not let
something challeging stop me from proceeding it.

I usually don't let anything
get to me like this. Ugh, the summer heat's getting to me. e-e;

Excuse me. But if her claws excrete poison, wouldn't that be due to a gland? Not her -bone- structure?
