I'm absolutely DREADING doing the robes.
Keep drawing, eventually you should get better and faster.
Also, draw from what you see, not what you know.

Gotta admit, it is rather "femmy"
However, I gotta admit it's pretty good. I just have one question...
Wtf is that in his right hand? I going to go out on a limb and guess it's a shield

Read the rest of the thread. It's his staff.
And yes, I did state already that it was femmier than I meant it to be. Oh well.

Meep. He actually seems a lot scarier than I imagined him from your description.
Still think it's nice though. Especially the tail. The tail is by far the best part of the picture, and you've done a really good job with it.

Thank you! I'm so glad he looks scary too, I want him to seem imposing. Too bad he looks so femmy, he might be even scarier if I had bothered to make him look a bit buffer before I inked it.

Ongaku... scary... Pfffft...
Anyway, I love the pic and keep working on it hun!
Maybe I'll bug you to make one of Sahra

I really, really dig the soft, fluffy, fuzzy look to the hair and tail, but it seems like his skin should also have a very faint fuzziness to match them? You have an excellent, excellent eye for texturing, though.
You mentioned somewhere in the thread about looking up crystal references... try a ye olde Google image search for, hmm... sulfur crystals primarily are probably closest to what you're looking for, but apatite has the right shape, or quartz (specifically citrines).

Thank you, I'll definitely look those up!
Oh, and Gaku's skin doesn't have hair. He will have a patch of white fur on his chest though towards the end of the process. And the textures? Well, I just happen to have all the right brushes, I suppose.

I like the hair and the tail. Onkagu does seem a bit androgyn though, perhaps more angular facial features? I can't wait to see it ready!

It's ok, I'll come back from the dead and make you my thrall, then we'll see who the femmefurry is.

So this is what my brother looks like. Not bad - it looks almost like my style, but...better. Mainly because I never color anything, but also aesthetically...bah, whatever. If I go into too much detail you'll ask me to post something. (The answer is no.)
Anyway, the picture. Mainly, I agree with everyone else...kind of feminine/androgynous, but that's not necessarily bad. It is, of course, if you were going for a manly appeal, but it doesn't seem like you were. And, I seem to be the other person that gathered that it was a staff without reading the thread. Yay me!

Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it! He is actually supposed to look...well, prettier than he did as a Furrikin.
I think I'm gonna draw a pic at some point of just his staff so that everyone can see what it looks like from the side.

I think if you focus on his staff you will avoid the fem comments as well.
Sorry could not resist.
Before I saw this if you told me you were skunk-like I would have thought it would look goofy, this drawing completely changed my mind. It is very well done! It makes me want to run into you in the game, too bad we would be trying to kill each other if it happened.
I am really looking forward to seeing the final version!

Rofl, "Here's a pic of Ongaku loving his staff."
Thank you, Enthralled! And we wouldn't HAVE to kill each other. Ongaku is very tolerant of Celestians, even though they usually try to kill him.

Yeah, he sure is. He's managed to capture a look of malevolent cunning in the eyes, which is "scary". Though no, I don't find him particularily scary. This person is about five times as feminine and twenty times as scary though.
