Dark Matter Archan & Harvester

[Runic]

I'll start with the Archan. I swear, if I could get one to add to my brew, I would because this is one handsome kitty!
I might in the future, when I'm not so broke and have a character in mind.

Anyways, I admire how the Archan is contemplating something...kind of makes me think of Scar from TLK, deciding how to take control of the pride. I see no issues with this guy; he fills up the canvas nicely and comfortably.
Kudos to Rah for such a magnificent beast! x3

-- This Harvester looks mighty nice too!

But I can't help but compare it to this:


Anyone else think these two are extremely similar in pose? I also find it weird that the DM Harvester is lacking any glowiness around the eyes.
I don't mind the similar pose, but the shading on the DM one is just too strong, imo. I prefer the soft shading on the Graveyard one, especially in regards to the cloak. The DM one is more dynamic, yes. Can't argue that. xD

It's not horrible art. I just struggle to individualize it from the GY one. P:

Love the Harvester, even with the similar pose. More awesome Harvesters to choose from will never be a bad thing, IMO.

I'm indifferent on the Archan, as always. It's like I either LOVE a species or I'm massively indifferent...unfortunately, the Archan falls into the latter, even with its redraws.

Dang, that Harvester! It's gorgeous and flowy and it's so evil already that it's crushing Maleria's Darkmatters! I've never, ever wanted a Harvester before, but now . . .

The Archan - I like the head-trails and the expression, but it's just a muscle lion with too-big paws. I've never been a fan of Archans.

The Archan looks incredible - very magestic and powerful. It's got the dark matter under its paw like a yarn ball.

The Harvester, while it looks very imposing squishing that Dark Matter, has clothing folds that come off to me as highly improbable and stiff.
