Suilad my darlings!

Soo.... yeah. I'm back with another drawing for a contest! (Yayy!).
So this time around the challenge was set by Aquamariin_J, and we should draw our zodiac as... well whatever we want.

And since my predictable arse is... well, predictable I thought: well let's go and dig out this "old" drawing I made in September and hand that in. (Ha! Didn't see that coming, eh?!)

So yeah. I just revisited the Zodiac-Series by Looji (amazing artist... and super nice and friendly too... dang I love them) and felt inspired to go and try it out for myself. And because I'm an egocentric bastard I started with my own Zodiac: Capricorn.

Good so far? Good.
Well, I started with a nice little scribbly-doodly-sketch-thing that I use to be able to say: "HA! That's were the nose is gonna go! Now there's no escape anymore!"

OMG, would one look at the thing. That balance. That composition. It is so original, that you never could've seen anything similar created by either me or some other artist...

...

I gotta find myself more poses and compositions for my portraits.....

Anyways! So I then went ahead and did my lineart-sketch-thing. Goal was, to portray the personality and overall values more, rather than the actual animal/symbol, just to give myself a small challenge. And I'm sick of that simple trope, so I wanted to make the zodiacs more subtle. So I went ham on the cliché of Cappy being this serious, grown up, wise and determined dude.... and since I decided to not give him horns I had to give him a goatee... because... capricorn... and water-goat... and... yeah...
