Oh, dear Din... it's been so long since I drew a pic of Darius (or any chibi-like art, for that matter)...
I have my reasons, but that didn't stop me from accepting his little request!
Tools: Paper, pencil, Adobe PhotoShop CS2.
I have some personal complaints about my own work (like always). First off, the fur. At first, I thought I made the tail too thick. However, fur during winter time tends to puff up, allowing its bearer more warmth during the harsh cold weather. Also, I had to Curve the pic once it was done so the colors would look darker. The background was meant to portray the season, so it's nothing special. And finally, the medallion on the collar. I wasn't sure about its color, so I went with a silvery finish.
Good thing I still have that PSD file. I can make some color-related changes if I need to.
Well, all ranting aside, what do you all think? ^.=.^
Darius Sylvaren is (c) by .

UPDATE!!!
I'll give a bag full of Yoshi Cookies for anyone who notices a big difference about this pic... X3
Oh, don't get me started on those... XD Those were a nightmare to draw! LOL I need lessons on those...
But really, thanks for reminding me about those... maybe someday I'll finally draw some good-looking claws... o.=.o

Aww, it's amazing how completely adorable you can make Darius! Hehe, he has a really nice and fuzzy coat too. I could use one, since I seem to freeze my tail off in the winter days. o.=.o But I think I look better like I am now...
Oh well I guess. Very cute pic, and it deserves a in my book!
XD Yeah... though every time I try to draw something chibi, I always rush on it. Which is something I'm trying to avoid these days.... o.=.o
Still, I'm glad you like it! Thanks! =3

Masakuni with a furry winter coat... o.=.o
For some reason, I don't think it's such a bad idea. Besides, think of all the free huggles you'd get... XP
Anyway, thank you so much, eh? ^.=.^

That really looks nice there. Appears to be fury like with a shiny look. And good use with the tongue too. He kinda reminds me of the big dragon in the 2nd PM game.

I think the silvery finish works well, and stuff looks good to me =3
The only critique I have is that the claws seem a little awkward.. Just their placement and how they move in different directions..
But really, I like the picture ^^ Well done
