Description

Some of the practice I had done during my vacation, those sheep and goats are being drawn with a ref., I know that photo references aren't the most...best resource as the light source and the image itself depicting what's been seen through the camera lens, but then again you can't fly off to the mountain to study the mountain ibex goat either. So, photo reference is at least the only way (for me).
Instead of going flat, think of them as 3D.

Quick info.

Anyway, these animals are the inspiration for my alien race known as "Diábolus", the horns are inspiration by various of sheep, goats and few antelopes, even wildebeest's horn has been inspired by it.
The character you see there, that's Kaine (the one above, the sketch looks more finish than the one below). The sexual dimorphism here is that the male is taller, physically robust (more than humans), has from big to massive horns, more spikes protruding on their skin, one special class comes with four wings, extra spiked tail and massive horns. The best of all, the male has no hair, it's being replaced by spikes and horns (cause I like my men this way, hush you!).
The female is a bit...more humanoid, slender (comes with different body shapes; some have fat @$$, to sexy hourglass), long hair, short hair etc..
Male skin color tends to go darker/tan than the female, oh and did I mention that male has no reptilian/cat-like pupils?? Their eyes are purely blank.
Only the female has reptilian/cat-like pupils, and their eye color varies from individual to individual (similar to humans, can't expect everyone to go blue or green eyes like a clone!).
The female is short, kinda like in the same height as an average human (4'11"/150cm - 5'10"/178cm), the male passes 6'0"/183cm - 7'5"/226cm).

Their society hierarchy is inspired by ant colony, however, their daily basis is similar that of a human. They all have free will but have to play by the rules. Breaking the law, will not go unpunished and the punishment ranges from minor to high (on this level, the convicted will get either exiled or death punishment - good riddance!)
Alignment: Lawful good, Neutral, Neutral Good, Chaotic Good to Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil and Chaotic Evil (the alignment varies from individual to individual and his/her agenda/goal/personality - kinda like how humans are, in this earthly playground we've plenty of that kind, don't believe me? Observe! I really like to give them alignment, quite suitable for inspiration).

------

I suppose it's pointless for me to mention all these without a proper solid design of them.

Last picture is.....a couple kissing! The lady is standing on a stool (also because I ran out of space). The guy is 6'6" and the lady is 5'2" (yes, really. The "high tower" + "low tower" thingie, he so "hovering" over her). Haha... It seemed to have gone well considering it as this is my 2nd time, and it was fun to draw...
Wait a minute, I haven't struggled with this one, hmmm...Something's wrong...It means I haven't done it correctly!!

YOU MUST STRUGGLE AND HAVE HARDCORE FRUSTRATION in art!! If you feel you didn't struggle enough with your art, then you are doing it wrong! :iconwhatdaplz:
Maybe I should start with that hand of hers, it's ugly and wrong and I hate it. See a lot of mistakes!! They are everywhere!!

The Diábolus is all owned by ME, and me only. Thank you for your understanding, now GTFO!

These are so nice! You might see lots of mistakes but to the eye that has no idea what YOU think it's supposed to look like, it's amazing.
I wonder, have you ever checked out the scp-wiki.net/scp-series site? I think that you might like it, some of them are from the original creepy pasta but it's like if Warehouse 13 actually cataloged everything online. lol.
I hope I find you well btw. :3
