Frustrated with DA's pic limit

DeviantArt's 1000 pic per search limit has finally pissed me off more than I can idly sit by and stomach. I was looking for a VERY unique combination of very common words and phrases and kept hitting the limit with nothing to show for it. I browsed the forums innocently enough looking for one that met my needs at the time and found a few similar 'request-style' threads in GenChat. Well I get somewhere around 12 hours of asshats that really needed to troll-skulk on back to 4chan and another 2-3 decent, helpful sentiments.

Anyway if anyone happens to come across this, I'm still on the lookout (until you see "Tempest"'s bio posted).

I'm looking to redesign/revamp a Dungeons & Dragon's Longtooth Shifter. My DM(s) and I are in agreement that it wouldn't fit to be a lazy [artistically] dog-head. So we've compromised with a humanoid appearance and cannine features.

Repeat: NO 'blantant/lazy' dog head

By our reckoning, shifters are said to be lycanthropes with more feral features than their were-* cousins. They're also permanently in this state without the monthly recovery period.

i.e. teeth, eyes, body hair, *slightly* exaggerated features ( skull, muscles, etc), but distinctively humanoid--otherwise it'd just be a gnoll.

#010 - Hypnotoad: Version B (W.I.P.)

I drew this almost immediately after the first one. I went to the trouble to find a picture on the internet of decent quality to eye-ball from. This is Version B of the Hypnotoad design, the amalgamation of Michigan J. Frog & Futurama's Hypnotoad. Again, still refining before I put the completed stamp on this one.

My roommate Paul goes by "HypnoToad" or some variant of the name. I didn't like the Battletoad rendition, so I started looking for other reference. I was reminded of Toad Man from Megaman, but after a little image searching, I don't think It'd be a decent amalgamation. Reference is Warner Brother's Loony Toons.

#009 - Hypnotoad: Version A (W.I.P.)

The second piece from the video game avatar series (of the two currently on paper, four additional ones in development). This one I'm torn between two ideas, both of which internally funny amongst us friends even if not so much to you, the audience. Version A is the amalgamation of Battletoads & Futurama's Hypnotoad. I'm fairly disappointed in the current body: proportions, details, and overall tone. Again, still refining before I put the completed stamp on this one. I disliked it immediately after I'd finished so don't be worried at the self-notes I put on as well.

My roommate goes by "HypnoToad." Body type and coloring matches Pimple? more-or-less, the final addition of Hypnotoad's darker textures finally seperate them. Battle garb is a mixture of all three battletoads, save the necklace which is "Our Load and Master's." Will probably change his posture entirely unless I lose focus. Most likely will have something more suggestive of hypnotism like a b/w swirl coin, pendulum watch, or crystal ball hanging away from his body.

#008 - Mad Bomber (W.I.P.)

First from my video game avatar series aka a W.I.P. (work in progress). Nearly ironed out minor changes I want to make, but still refining my skills before I finish it. Hand's down the piece I'm most proud of. The idea came to me as I was bored out of my mind at work having been called away from a LAN party I had requested off for.

My buddy John goes by "Mad Bomber" so obviously this is Nintendo's Bomberman + Lewis Carrol's Mad Hatter. Only think I hate is the current TeaKettleBomb design. I may be twinking that for the final. Clothing is assumed to be wildy missmatched colors with the classic bomberman thread on our little hero. TeaKettleBombs are Purplish in tint.
