Description

My try for number 3 here [link] by the amazing ~KlakKlak

(the pup next to her isn't her pup, but probably from one of her sisters or brothers)

I hope I get her ! D:

I'm also aware that her hind leg in the fourth panel is waaaay too long, but I already inked it ;_;
There are also a lot of grammatical mistakes, but the computer wasn't working (the hard disk died) and I didn't know how long it would take to fix it, so I started it with traditional media.
First I was scared I wouldn't be able to tell her story in only one page, but it seems like that has worked out :)

I hate it that my page was too large for the scanner, so a piece of the puma's head and owl's wing is cut off (on the right side). That really sucks..

I hope you like it, though !
~also if it needs to be matured, just tell me. I don't see something offensive, since I tried not to let all attention go to the blood.

--
media used : watercolours, ink, steadler pens and a tinyy bit with a pencil

--
additional info about the character :
name : Akemi
breed : she was a greyhound, now she's an owldog (?)
age : 5 years (dog age, obviously)
personality : (since it's not really clear in only 6 panels) Because Akemi has transformed, she's able to see in the dark very well and very far. She also struggles a bit with herself. She wants to be with her family, like the old times, but she has got wild instincts too (because of the owl). She tries to be with them, but she goes very often wandering on her own and/or hunting (this time she has brought a little friend ;D)

Wow. This is stunning~
First of all, I'd like to comment on how well done the colouring, painting, line-art of this is. I mean, although the detail is not heavily done, everything is clear, you can tell what it is meant to be, great job. The cross-hatching in the cornners and sides of the slots are a great effect, and makes the pictures look.. i don't know, more comic-like? Although the backrounds in some aren't excruciatingly detailed, it is only a comic script, and I like that style.
I'd like to say that your anatomy, overall, is very well done. Even when Akemi is in her owl-dog form, her anatomy, to me, is thoroughly believable. I really like the messy-neat sort of text you have, and the suspense in the story.
Just wanna say here, the feline is nicely done, and I really like it :3 And also, a nice backround story on her, it gave me very mixed feelings.. I think I feel happier with her transformation just because she was allowed to live, and now has some awesome abilities! Yay! But a little down because she is now different. In an awesome way, though. ;D
The shadows give great perspective, so it doesn't JUST look 2D.

But, as a critique, I should probably give you some pointers, although you are a fair better artist than I xD. I'd like to point out that in the fifth slot - where Akemi is crying - the tears should be coming out of the tearduct, not the corner of the eye? Also, I personally think the tears are in too much of a heavy flow, but hey, she's a sad owl-dog. Also, in this topic, I think if you were going for the look of the tears streaming down one side, it probably would've looked better if you had blobbed some tears around the bottom of the eye?
Also, as you pointed out yourself, the hind leg in the fourth is too long, but I wont dwell on that because you've said so yourself, and it'd probably be annoying. xD

Overall, this is a great work of art. I am in love with everything about it, I've given you 5 stars for everything except originality, because I feel I am being too free with my critique xD Personally, this is my judgement, and I can see practically nothing wrong with it, excluding what I have said.

Keep drawing, you're great at it ~
