Hey, now that the relevant parts of Icy Taco Ace Attorneys are up, I can post these case art sketches I did! (Implied ITAA spoilers, also Ace Attorney in general spoilers a little) And in entirely unrelated news, some miscellaneus Mafia sketches! (Mafia 3 spoilers ahead) Some random doodles I did of various characters! Leo ( Liou) staring at Bardsley's amazing hair, Afe ( Draco) being Afe, Winston ( Diana) proclaiming the awesomeness of his hair, Travis ( Jayeee) proclaiming the awesomeness of his thighs, and Cheryl ( Tiger) being annoyed. Some sketches I did of Prettyboy Students! Most of them have showed up in my posts at least once. :B The one labelled "? ? ?" is Jordan, who I didn't name until later. MORTY GUNDERSON will eliminate the mafia if it's the last thing he does. Mafiosos group picture! The whole gang of Winter's Wrath, all together. From left to right: Alma ( Mostly Harmless (flufflepuff)), Bardsley (me), Lindsey ( Ginz ❤), Hermia ( Birdy), Nathan ( Nova), Travis ( Jayeee), and Piper ( Lizica).

I am borrowing this thread because I am definitely not an artist and everyone knows that @torkie10 = PFA. (Also ITAA is her story.) Major ITAA-4 finale spoilers ahead :'D

WHAT AM I DOING Okay so I've been trying to design a character who is... decidedly not human, and it turns out to be a thing I am not super great at. :'D So maybe people can give me OPINIONS. And ADVICE on how to draw quadrupeds because that's a thing I'm still not good at lolol Canonically, he's supposed to be this huge, magical, majestic, imposing... THING but that's hard for me to visualize. :'B I hope that at least kind of comes across? I feel like the design is still kind of lacking, but idk what to add. >_>

I'm not a boss at quadrupeds either, but I'm guessing that you're going for something as imposing as a big cat. I like big cats. I'm going to ramble about big cats. 8D
What I find most majestic about big cats' appearance is the way you can see their bulky shoulders and hips rolling under their fur with every move. I think that's what makes them seem so powerful, you can see the strength coiled up in their muscles. Their chest and neck are longer and bulkier too. The tail just follows the long curve of the spine. They look so heavy that it's incredible how fast and smoothly they move with all that bulk. I would make the ears a bit longer and less round, because round ears remind me of tiny rodents and teddy bears. Big cats's faces are usually longer than small felines', with long, broad noses. The nose is less upturned than for small cats, it goes down steeply.
The eyebrows and mane remind me of a Chinese guardian lion. If that's the look you're going for, they're stockier in general with a very strong chest; their eyes, frowny eyebrows and nostrils pop out, and their head seems to be slightly tucked into their shoulders to make them seem even more watchful and severe. Their head is large, almost as wide as their chest, and their paws set quite far apart.
To sum up, I suggest giving it a longer body in general, broader shoulders and a longer neck.

I agree with Liou's points, and I will try to add some of my own =D
I see you have a note about the paws being large, but you'll want to be careful with that; disporportonately large feet on animals tend to make them look very young. While lions and tigers have big paws, the rest of their bodies and heads are still pretty big as well.
I'm curious as to what's going on with the ruff of fur above the paws. There's supposed to be less/no fur on the paws, I take it? I think longer, more flowing fur at the ankle (long enough that it hangs back off the back fo the paw - google image search "Flight Rising Tundra dragons" and you can see sort of what I mean, I think) would fit the majestic image you're looking for.
When you want majestic, cat-like expressions, I think lions. Something about the heaviness and shape of their brow and eyes and those broad noses really give them a regal expression, so that might be something to reference and try out.
All in all, the design looks pretty cool. I'd reference some big cat or wolf or maybe even bear anatomy just to get a feel for how they're all put together and what their general proportions are. (Minor anatomy note while we're here, I think the back "knees" on the lower drawing should be up higher, or maybe the heel should be longer? Not positive, I know I have trouble with quad hind legs >.> )

The eyebrows and mane remind me of a Chinese guardian lion. I'm glad, because that actually was part of the inspiration. :^D I'm curious as to what's going on with the ruff of fur above the paws. There's supposed to be less/no fur on the paws, I take it? To be perfectly honest, I have no idea. XD; That's actually kind of a design carryover from when I was experimenting with chimera designs that weren't really working, and I mostly kept it in to help make the design look less blank. :'B Anyway, thanks a bunch for the advice, guys! I'll have to mess around with it some more, haha.

Since I'm terrible at words, I made a quick redline for you. Since you mentioned it was inspired by a lion, I doodled a very simple "big cat" to show their basic shape and anatomy, then attempted to fit the proportions over your stylized critter. Your critter's knees (and elbows) were set a little too low, giving it almost no lower leg. The front legs were also on the skinny side. Big cats tend to have thick and muscular legs. The head was a little large, but I know that can be a stylization thing, especially since the chinese lions it was based on have proportionally large heads.

I was looking back on old HORRORS yesterday and felt compelled to upload some pictures of the characters! 8D Here's an old bad scan of them: Here's my most recent drawings of them (which are a couple years old but the point still stands):

Even more Medieval art! 8D Some high-res pics of various cameos from my comic, because barely-discernable cameos are my excuse for fanart while drawing a comic: Leif walking by ( Tiger) Everett in the mage council! ( Dan) Joffery serenading Rosie ( Rosalie Dylas (Maddy)) Xavier terrified as usual ( Elcie) Arthur looks like a sad puppy ( Birdy) Aldrich runs from the villain ("He has bad luck even outside of his own universe!" "DOHOHOHO") ( Lizica) Alain fights a giant spider ( Celestial) Clarissa fights a giant... thing ( Sporty) Sieg looks cool with a sword ( Shinko) Aaannnddd onto some Joffery sketches! Joffery and Charles at the festival: Scene from a short I might write eventually wherein Joffery goes to the future and meets murdershipping (and learns that his name goes down in history in a way I can't confirm until the game is over):

Clarissa fighting monsters with an enchanted sword? >.> <.< I approve of this
*promptly goes to read the comic* That's a nifty backstory you've got there! It was fun finding all the Medieval cameos too ^^ Good job!
