Chalcedon, Playing Guitar

Description

Well that took a horrifyingly long time.

First ever non-trace. Completely from scratch, excluding the guitar, which was traced from a picture of an Ibanez A300E (my guitar).

I guess this also makes this my OC. Huh.

The top arms are a bit spindly, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with how this came out.

EDIT: Made a few changes: Arms are less spindly, face is longer, snout's not quite as long. Looks better overall, but the top arms still bug me. Oh well.

Protip: Never, EVER render an .svg in AI, for any reason. Ever. Makes all of the clipping go away.

That's pretty good. The guitar is well held and the color scheme is nice. You did a good job keeping the mane and tail accurate (I'm assuming you used the Lyra Style as a base)

Some problems I see :

The neck is too large, the back of it shouldn't show (it would be under the mane, the arm socket would have to move too).

For things like that it can help to sketch everything that's "under" even if you'll erase it. To see if everything will fit together.

The other thing is the limbs are a bit too thin.

I hope you didn't mind the critique, It's overall very good.
