Excuse the smudges, I tend to erase a bunch.

Originally, Fenrir wanted to me to draw this (you can guess why). Besides that, this can also be considered concept art for a future game.

In all honesty, machu; Eggie has a new rival.

I'm not really sure where to start here, but I guess i'll just wing it.

The first thing you need to do is msketch this thing out LIGHTLY, then go in there andgo over the lines. You should also keep your hand away from the graphite somehow. Rest it on a Kleenex; as a furry, I'm sure you're quite familiar with them.

The next thing you need to do is get cracking on your anatomy. You read the furry comics and look at the books about animals, yes? Also you have the spatial skills, correct me if I'm wrong? The little heels and toes were a nice touch, but in the same sense as fancy hubcaps on a Ford Edsiel. That head could never be that huge and off-center, your lizard would fall over and break his neack at the same time. Also I don't get why his shoulders and forearms are so damned beefy. The puffy arms have all but consumed his wrists.

Hmm... the arms definately need to be thinner, and the head is also too big; as you can see by lack of erasing there, I did well enough (shape-wise) that I didn't want to draw it again. Also, it's supposed to be turned away from us, thus the head being turned. I'll be sure to be more graceful with a pencil in the future, though you didn't need to go out of your way with personal insults. I guess I'll also go out to say this is supposed to be a snake-person with no gender.

I rather like the use of the sad expression on his face. And it could be worse. His eyes are proportional to his head size, so if you change anything, then I am sure you will adjust appropriately. Happy

No symmetry? Where? I guess the left foot should be more foward, but besides that and the big head, it seems "balanced". Anymore jokes about what it's clearly not will no longer be considered constuctive critisism.
(Also, I'd assume that snakes have strong necks, but I get the frickin' picture)
