Artist's Comments

So I've been wanting to make an animal character to represent my "real" self, seeing as Malicia is pretty much the only anthro I have that most people know me by, and we're nothing alike, nor do I identify myself with her in any way.

I consulted some of my friends about what kind of animal I remind them of, and the general consensus was "Platypus". Why? Who knows, but coincidentally I scored platypus on some sort of quiz on Facebook, so... whatevs. Here's Angie the Platypus. Or The Angipus? Platypangie?

Ref'd myself from that photo of me with the akita pup. Drew and CGed this pretty fast and messy because I was just experimenting with designs and all that stuff.

This turned out very well! =) I especially like the shading and the highlights in your hair. Oh, and your shoes rock! :D

Nice job. I had a stuffed platypus when I was a kid and thought they were cool.

I'm really digging the shoes. :lmao: Overall, a great picture and a good idea in general, though I never would have thought Platypus for you.

I like the idea of a platypus anthro! You've handled it well. I do like how you rounded out the cheeks in your portrait [link] of this character. Makes her feel a little more fluid.

I also like her hair down more than up. The up do reminds me of Morrigann. :shrug: But it's your fursona.

My only critique is the tail. And again, your drawing, your fursona, your call but, I always thought that a platypus' tail was flat and more beaver-like in shape and texture.

Odds are you already know all this and as you said this was a quickie.

I love the beak and I like the uniqueness of it all, you don't see to many platypus walking around on DA. :D

Good luck with finalizing the design!

Yeah, it's supposed to be flat but I messed up the angle, since it's kind of behind her and off to the side. But yes, it's definitely beaver-like and I hope to maintain that better when I draw a full-body pic of her next time.

Funny thing about the hair: I actually based Morrigan's hair style on mine, which is why the similarities are there ;) But I like to wear my hair both up and down (unlike Mo) so I have more freedom in the depictions.

Thank you for the comments! <3

Heh, I did the same thing when I was coming up with my "fursona." My friends all said I reminded them of a bunny. :P
