[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8818810, member: 6801228"] And it is even easier to hold up a picture and say "it looks like this" If the art is supposed to represent the creature, then it should represent the creature. Art supposed to represent a snake with rings has failed if I must hold up a picture of a snake and say "this, but with wings" because it is a picture of a snake, not a snake with wings, which it is supposed to be. Or, to give a non-art example, a bar of steel might give me more to work with than I had before, but it is still a terrible knife. And notably, in the art I was using, it was colored, so I have the color to speak about. But, look at the two art pieces here [ATTACH type="full"]265798[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]265799[/ATTACH] Both are clearly panther-like creatures, both have six legs, both have tentacles on the back with spiked ends.
