Commission--KrazyKobra Birthday Gift

Latest commission piece for https://lorna-rosefox.tumblr.com/ ! This time, she asked me to design a character for her friend, https://twitter.com/krazykobra74?s=21 , as a birthday present for him! It was pretty fun working on the character, though this is my first time drawing a character for a commission completely from the ground up! To design the character, Lorna asked me to draw an anthropomorphic cobra with a flame motif and a biker outfit, then sent a bunch of reference images of outfits, color swatches, and even a few other snake characters so I knew what she was looking for. I wanted to make sure he'd still read as a snake, even though his tail is short and he has arms & legs. I think that worked out pretty well! I'm glad I did this, it was fun designing a whole new character for someone else!

This drawing took 3 hours and 38 minutes, over the course of 4 days.

The character in this image is not officially named yet, but he belongs to KrazyKobra.

KrazyKobra's fursona. I guess the character's name is also KrazyKobra..?

silhouette. I like doing this right after I've finished the lineart for a piece, it helps me see how well the shapes communicate the character...

very basal sketch. Kind of like a thumbnail but... decently larger.

the warmup I drew before I started. I always like drawing little warmups of unfamiliar characters, so I can be sure I'm drawing them right.

the absolute first drawing of the character. Not quite the correct shape or size, but hey, you've got to start somewhere.
