Original conceptual sketch is here:

So I named him Onaona Ori! It's Hawaiian. Onaona means "pleasant fragrance," and Ori means "my light." I like calling him Ona Ori for short.

Meaningful names, I give them.

So these are basically just some studies of Ona Ori so I can get a feel for his character and mannerisms. He really is quite a fun beastie to draw. I haven't done a lot of actual creature designs in awhile so it feels good to get back into that groove.

I'll update this later when I finish the color test.

I knew someone would liken him to Sanders's work eventually!

Thanks, though!

I hope it's not a bad thing, :)
I certainly think this is great in its own way.

Naw it's alright.

It does kinda irk me when people say a character of mine looks specifically like a specific character, but I am okay with people saying it resembles an artists' work. I guess. lol

I know how you feel.
I think it's a good thing sometimes, but it can also be a bit annoying especially if/when people say it a lot.
It's like they can't see past the first impression and disregard your effort.

But honestly, I think your monster/anthro art has its own witty characteristics that are so appealing and pleasing to see. You're my favorite person here in da in this style of art. It is more than monster reminding me of other's art. It's all the fun and dynamic and poses and facial expressions and unique personality.

Sanders work comes to mind in this piece, but I'm biased cause he might be the only other person who draws monsters so well, like you do. In my opinion.
