Magpie: Actually, Voyager (the Kabutops), is female. ^^; And she's a vicious, predatory killing machine. Only thing that keeps her from going on a slaughterfest, really, is her loyalty to her trainer. xD
I always, unless the subject in question looks completely feminine, default to male. Don't know why XD
She does look vicious, and I adore her nickname. I'm sure I'd be dead right now for the insult, were it not for the
trainer loyalty ^^;
I think the legend of people dying at sea and becoming Dolphins is believed by a few tribes, though I can't bring them to mind right now. I've certainly heard it mentioned a few times, and I'm sure I watched a documentary once about a fishing tribe in the amazon, who upon catching a River Dolphin by accident would immediately set it free again and mutter weird little sayings. They said, if I remember that they believed that the River Dolphins were the dead members of their tribe and that killing them would be bad luck.
Now, about the actual art ~ Synapsaber and Saberage both look awesome, though I think Saberrage is my favourite. I think it's his mane. I like the markings on Synapsaber though, he's a cutie ^^
Dolphantom is a stroke of genius, the bones showing through is a spooky idea and really works. Just shows how great you are with anatomy.
Fight of the Penguins! I don't like the Piplup line at all, so I'm rooting for Pengladius, who looks epic. Head crest for the win.
Your starter group picture is so full of cuteness! It's nice to seem them all together, having seen them scattered throughout your thread. Bulbasuar is my favourite out of the bunch, but they all have a charm about them. Nice work on getting them to all fit together on one picture XD
The role reversal is so adorable! Seriously, your grasp on anatomy is amazing. I'm still loving Mari's hair.
