Description

September Update: Only the Fire and Earth designs have changed.

GAIZ. READ THIS. Hokay, now that I have your attention, here I go. I've heard a lot of you talking about how the thunder doesn't look like the thunder and whatnot, and I am getting tired of saying that I'm not trying to make them look like the element. I'm trying to reflect the personality of the elements, instead of physical characteristics. I'm not going to reply to every comment now. Also, for you guys who prefer the old lines: I HATE them, which means getting around to doing any elementals is like pulling teeth and going for a physical at the same time. They are going to be changing. Period. No buts. To sate some of your obvious disliking to the thunder and the fire, I will do other sketches, but unless I absolutely love them over the ones I have here, these are going to be the ones that will be integrated. Hokay? Have I answered everything?
Also, guys, remember: this is my agency, not yours. I'm the one doing all the work, so ultimately I have final say. Don't like it? Suck it up and don't try for a wisp then.


New elemental lines for *SpringsofIyore. Still vastly in production mode, so nothing is definite. Wisps will remain the same design, but I will no longer put markings on them. Just solid colours.

If you have suggestions, please let me have them. :3
I welcome any comments also. :3

Changes
Wind - Went from two sets of wings to one. I tried to incorporate a second set, but it wasn't working. Still has no legs because they never land.

Fire - Went from a long style dragon to a western style, with four legs and reptilian wings.
Edit//Changed the design a little to make it less charizard-y.

Wood - From moss to fur. I also included wings on the wood now, but they are delicate wings instead of the powerful reptilian wings.

Earth - Went with a bulkier form. Added stony plating. Still has no wings.

Water - Went more draconian; with webbed feet instead of flippers. Added fin wings instead.

Thunder - More of a fox/wolf, furry dragon than what I had before. Still playful and coy.

I hope it is ok if I start drawing my wind elemental like this one?
