Artist's Comments

I haven't done one of these in a REALLY LONG time.

Here is WindSeeker in all her glory. I think you need to download the fullsize in order to read what's on there, sorry for the small print (oh the Irony!)

She's my "wereside" if you will, a representation of my soul. Thus, she is NOT a "character" or a "fursona" She is a Phoenilupix, a unique hybridization (though through magic, not birth) of a Phoenix and Wolf.

I was inspired by :icontoriegatd:'s amazing reference sheets, and hope that this will suffice.

Many hours in Photoshop CS3, and with my tablet.

Well, the last full body shot I did was back in January 2006, I don't think the two are super different, but there are significant changes (the paws, scar, and wing talons mostly I think)

VERY nice job here...the level of detail is just wonderful!

One very interesting thing about the pose in the full-body shot...I'm reminded of a gryphon--though I am SO glad you didn't go with the "chicken legs" you see on so many avian/mammalian hybrids! :D

And, as I think you did in previous versions, I like the fact that you give her a wingspan that actually looks like it would be able to bear her weight. One thing I would have been curious to see is what the wings look like tucked up against the back. Or is that what the first picture shows? If so, then those wings must fold up REALLY tight!

One last point that's interesting, although I have no idea what it means (and it probably means nothing other than we really like our imaginations). I notice you point out that WindSeeker does not share your disabilities. Rather ironic that of the two of us, I (who have no visual difficulties to speak of) am the one who has the main character...well, a whole Order of them...who do! :D

I hate the chicken legs. Well, I like to eat them if they're extra crispy and from KFC..

Yes, she does have very large wings, but she wouldn't be able to fly if they were smaller. I just can't get over the amount of creatures with wings that could not support them. I figured the wingspan based on her height (I used my fingers to measure 5ft increments on the small body with the wings attached. The larger body (and I should have mentioned this on the sheet) is absent the wings so her topline can be seen. As for the wings at rest, there wasn't room, and I kinda see them as frosing over the base of her tail. Its not the most important thing either :)

The reason Wind doesn't have disabilities.... I guess its because the disabilities I do have are not a part of my "soul" persay. They are merely an inconvenience of my physical body. I am not my disabilities, if you will. Added to that, I just don't... sense she has them, if that makes sense.
