I found a scanner! YAY!...
so here we have it, I wasn't sure if I should draw a zwoot or a Sabertooth, so I decided to draw both! lineart was made with a black ballpoint pen, so I could not use the eraser, (the sabertooth looks a bit odd because of few mistakes)... and I colored this with four wood color pencils I happened to have with me at the moment, and no reference used when making this, I was in class the time I did this... I hope I remembered the animals correctly!...

(z)woot! Awesome picture to start out the challenge.
 That is one brave (or crazy) sabertooth. |

Great action shot! And again, without references, you rock.
I think the zwoot would've otherwise had his shoulders higher, they have an awkward built actually. It might look too much like a horse now, though the feet and head tell otherwise. Great fury in it's eyes though, I'm not sure yet who'll win this fight. |

maybe the sabertooth is so hungry, that it attacks everything to get a meal? power of desperation!...
you're right Afke! now that I borrowed some EQ books from te library, the zwoot's anatomy resembles horse a bit too much... well! I must train more!... |

Wow, that was a fast first entry! Well, considering you did this without reference the anatomy is pretty amazing. Might be a bit too horse-ish, but the face says "Zwoooot". The dynamics are great! How the Zwoot whirls around and the dust... I guess the sabertooth must be hungry indeed.

Well done! I think this looks great! (I noticed the same thing that Afke did, which is that the zwoots should be more hump-shouldered, which I imagine would translate in a weird way to viewing one from this angle.) I particularly think the expression on the zwoot's face is very evocative.

thanks! yeah, now that Afke mentioned it, it's true, but I admit that I probably wouldn't be able to draw zwoot anatomy from this angle and pose with my current skills now that I think about it... and I personally like the head of the zwoot most!...

I like this piece, and your work in general. I think the Zwoot is a bit off, but other than that it is awesome.

I really like the action and the fierceness of this one. Good answer to the challenge, Berit.

This is a really great picture! I think the body of the cat is kind of short for that position. It feels like the body should be stretched out a bit more in that leap... I agree with basically what's been said already regarding the zwoot. Oh, I love the fierceness in both creatures, and the background fits so well with the subjects of the piece!

thank you! I agree with you, the body of the saber-tooth looks too stiff, because of that, it sort of resembles the body of a bulldog! it's way too short!...
