Now all we need is the S1, to shade it, and for someone to shade the female adult

I like the shading you used for the hatchlings but there could be a few more shades in it.

I'm not really the best at shading, maybe an experienced shading person could help?

I'm horrible at shading animals I'm afraid. Unless you want me to give it a try...?

How is the S1 doing?

I said 2 pages back I couldn't draw it, I gave picture examples instead.

Hmmm...Cow hippos live in the fire nation, I don't think they swim, does anybody else have ideas?

The thing is, the Fire Nation is a set of islands, so why wouldn't they swim? We need more input.

Well....they are fat cows with hippo heads, even if they were in an environment made for swimming, I don't think they could.

How about this pose?

That's cute. Go for it.

The pose was too complicated, so here it is

Look at that cute thing.

It's awesome but I think it's way too small for a hatchling, can you make it quite a bit bigger?

Too small? There are a ton of small hatchlings on this site.

Yes, but think of how large the adult is it just doesn't make sense. The Zebra goat infant is a little big bigger then this and it's smaller then the hippo cow.

I guess, but what about this size comparison:

Remember the dragonfly is only 3 feet in the avatar world. But then again the lion turtle is supposed to be huge and the pentapi is bigger then the one in the avatar world.

To me it just makes more sense, if Digi doesn't mind he could make re-size the sketch to make it a little bigger and then we choose which hippo cow hatchie we like best.

The Cow Hippo isn't that big from what I saw in the show. But... *Shrugs*

I resized it

A little bigger needed. Here's a comparison.

Daww that's cute :> The female is sleeping right? I thought it had no eyes for a few minutes o.o You should add creases for the eyelids and shade them more so that you can tell it is shutting its eyes

Yeah, it's sleeping. I'll leave that job to the shading person though, as I would probably ruin it

Sorry about taking so long with the shading, I'm having trouble getting decent shades on the belly. If I may, can I wait until next week and use my schools photoshop to darken it instead? It's such a pain sitting there and dragging the color bars around when I can use a burn brush.

I think it looks fine

The size comparisons seem to be all over the place on Avadopts, but I agree that the hatchling should be bigger.

And holy moly those teeth. But lessee. The shading. I like the shading. I think it looks good, so no complaints there. I haven't been following this thread much, since it kinda got away from me when college started back up, but anyway.

Can I shade the adult female based on Seph`s male`s colors?

You mean SSB right? Seph hasn't come on in a long time.

It's okay because they are the same creatures. x3
