So, yeah, this sucks ... but at least it's decent for having absolutely no reference to go to (besides colors). I could really use some suggestions to keep this going - if anyone has any. Wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to do it in a 45 angle... ugh.

Maybe this would be a suitable guide:

Yes, Eternal did mention making a caitie or whatever that is. Looks disgusting.

Vanya just suggested it as a reference, not to make one!

It does look like a decent reference, in my eyes, too!

I bet cactaur will be real easy, once you get the main poses down.
I can't imagine them having too much movement for casting, attacking, etc, etc.

As the puppeteer pulls His strings,
The fragile doll spreads Her wings.
To dance a ballet as He directs
That is the Curse of the Marionette.

Controlled by a hand far, far above,
Forbidden to care, forbidden to love.
Forever shall She mime what She cannot know,
Until the day She loses her illusory glow.

Propped up on a stilt where wine once stood,
The Marionette is, once more, only wood.
Her glossy eyes have lost their shine,
Her silken hair, turned to twine.

What a fate awaits the poor little doll,
Who dances and runs but cannot stand at all.
And the puppeteer is applauded at the end of every show,
But the audience's joyous response the doll can never know.

I am but a doll on an endless stage,
Dancing for others whilst I slowly age.
My puppeteer sits far above,
Hiding His face behind a white glove.

And when I have aged to nothing but wood,
I will be tucked away in a closet where a doll once stood.
Then, as I gather dust and the world passes by,
I will be forgotten by the vast, blue sky.

For casting they typically just reverse the order of their arms. Right arm goes down, left arm goes up, as seen in FFVIII.

That Cactite ... not sure how I'd work off of that. For now though, I'm going to leave this alone until I can get a little more feedback. ^^

Quote from: "Lijj"Here's something:

Yeah, haha, saw that too. It's a shame it didn't have a 45 degree base I could work with.

The nice thing about Cactaurs is that they only have like 3 or 4 poses.
