Just a little dance in the eveningby *WolfPearl

Traditional Art / Drawings / Illustration / Conceptual

Got a new sketchbook for christmas. As the tradition goes, no sketchbook shall remain blank for more than two days, unless really special or lazy.

And more triaformica! I seriously enjoy drawing the heck out of these things, hope you don't mind. I personally don't mind either way, I enjoy them too much to stop. They are this weird mix of slime mucus, cephalopods and centaurs, with details of at least twenty different organisms and few own ideas thrown in to make things interesting, so there's still lots to explore! It's like drawing them feels like an adventure.

Exploring the gender differences here a bit. As the Z are now officially slimmer and more agile than the others, I should start showing it off in their drawings too. Also figuring out their musculature a bit. None of my anatomy books are with me here, so I'm kind of winding it. Well, I'd have to modify any reference anyway since they just won't obey the usual hominid shape.

I think I'm drawing their heads too big. It's kind of supposed to be big (big brains, jaws completely separate from the cranium part of skull, and generally being a counterweight for the tail-abdomen) but I'm never really sure how big it actually should be.

A family of trias here. I can't really call it a couple since there's more than two, but that's closer to truth, as these are mated adults. Trias are very social creatures who live in tribes made of several family units, and each family unit is made up of usually 2-4 adult individuals (5 or 6 in rare cases) and random number of adopted youngsters. Trias generally enjoy being together and socializing, and social events are common. In most cases the events include dancing which is often started by Zs, who by default like showing off and being at the center of attention, although the other two genders might join in too. Individuals shown here are, from left to right, Y, X, Z and Z.

I think the head is fine.

I feel that you're still sticking to the human arm anatomy a lot- those many-joined arms have so much potential!

So are they polygamous?

I enjoy them too, they are so unique, original and well thought-up.

~ANIMALlover07 Jan 1, 2012 Traditional Artist

I greatly enjoy reading about your triaformica. They are so unique and well drawn, and I would love to see a story or comic about them someday.

Also, I would just like to say that you have become an inspiration to me. Your creativity, talent, and devotion to your art never ceases to amaze me, and I hope that one day I can reach your level of skill.

Quite the interesting species you got there, I really enjoy seeing these guys.

Love the poses you incorporated them in, they sure do look like they're having fun! And I'm no anatomy expert (interested in the subject quite a bit, though!), but it's really quite fascinating seeing the different muscles through the skin. Triaformica are awesome!

Aww, thanks so much! You have no idea of how happy it makes me to know that there are other people who enjoy these creatures besides me. I really appreciate it.

Really not too different from people, although the three genders is a bit hard for me to understand.

~NineTailsChaosFox Dec 30, 2011

Ah... they will sport different colors, right? I haven't a single idea which is which when it comes to X, Y, Z in this species.

*WolfPearl Dec 31, 2011 Student General Artist

Ah, the color work in here might be a bit confusing, I tried to show depth with the shading since I was afraid that the two on the right would look big instead of looking like being closer. Color wise there are no differences between sexes, the differences are more in the markings, which unconveniently aren't visible here. The big ones, the X have very thin and few stripes, Y have dark rimmed plates on their heads and Z have bright colored spots on their necks.

~cstarcassowarie Dec 30, 2011

So the triaformicas also use applause?

~TheLovelyChemist Dec 30, 2011

ahhh so cute! These guys are adorable :3
