Decided I would post this before I have depress myself doing an entirely new one for a class project. Apparently my anatomy is wrong and I'm not working with the markers right and I got a tutorial on inking even though what I was "taught" was what I'd been doing for years. D:<

ANYWAY. The scanner TOTALLY washed this out. Its body is MUCH more reflective and rich in texture in real life. Sadness. Bad scanner. ):

Ohwellz. It's not everyday you see an anthro dolphin. Woot.

Done in Prismacolour Markers. MY FIRST ATTEMPT EVAR. XDDD

I love the concept. Considering it's an anthro dolphin, I would think you could sort of cheat on the anatomy a little anyway. What other choice do you have? If it's a humanish/dolphinish creature, then by definition, parts of it will intentionally not look like a correct human while other parts will intentionally not look like a correct dolphin. Regardless, I personally think the drawing is nicely done: it's simple but attractive, stylized, and you've got a great 'line of action' that a lot of artists have trouble bringing out in their animals, humans, and hybrids. Well done!

This is the best cetacean anthro I've ever seen. Well done on the anatomy! Very creative and looks like a seamless whole.

Who gives a crap about bloody anatony? It's not supposed to be right. It's an anthro.
Who cares about marker use or inking techniques? I do art because it's fun, and I like it, not because I'm good at it.
So should everyone, should they choose.
Honestly, that sucks. You cannot grade art because it is an emotive and creative subject, so telling you it's "wrong" is actually more wrong, if you get that. No one knows what an anthro would look like, so who are they to tell you the anatomy doesn't look like that?!
Actually, seeing this, I was taken abackby how awesome it looked. I tried anthro-ing a dolphin a while ago, and it stank.
Mentally tell those teachers to stuff it.
