Feline Tail Designs and Sewn Tail 1

I don't know how to sew much other than tails so knowing how popular they are in the anime and furry fandoms, I figured that 1) I'd attempt to design some eye catching tail designs and 2) see if I could sew these detailed designs. I did upload them elsewhere for feedback and got some interesting feedback on what people would find interesting or not. So I ended up narrowing down the list from here. While natural animal designs will probably sell better if I wanted to sell tails in bulk. But in general I like these "sparkle"/rave designed critters. So some of them I'm making for myself.

Like that first one on the line up. Finished up that tail today. Underestimated how long it would take to sew and how "annoying" cutting and sewing small spots and stripes could be, but it was still fun and I'm pretty happy with how it looks. The shape could be a bit better but with my next tail I can get the shape down better. It's curved a bit much at the top but the rest of the tail looks fine.

Once I get some lime green fur, I'll end up sewing number 2 on that line up, the even more detailed tiger tail. Though considering I still have some rust, cream, white, and black fur, I might end up making tail number 9. And will the amount of yellow fur I still have, I might make one of number 6 (though I'm holding off on using too much yellow until I finish the digitigrade legs for my Kyuubimon 3/4 partial suit).

Nyan Cat WIP 1

Okay...while I did put a bit more color on this after I did this tiny bit, I didn't feel like saving another WIP so I just left it at this.

While I doubt I'll finish it in time for Attack of the Show's art contest, I needed an excuse to draw Nyan Cat. Just because. It's not my favorite meme, but it's a cute character. And an interesting one to try to make semi-realistic. Cat with a pop-tart body? Sure...I'll try it out. So just got a little bit of the colors marked out and of course that trademark rainbow. Can't have Nyan Cat without the rainbow, you know?

Akio WIP- Inks and "Blocking"

His hair in human form killed me! Figuratively speaking of course or else I wouldn't be writing this. While I need practice on drawing nice flowing hair that won't take forever and a day to ink purely due to it's length...and the flowing. I expect that the shading will also take quite a bit of time. But hopefully not nearly as long as actually fixing with those lines.

So far so good though. I wished I got more done on this than just this little bit here but it's better than no progress.

Akio WIP- Sketch

Progress of a request for DaggerLeonelli/Majime of her Shiba Inu character, Akio. I just wanted to draw him in both humanoid form and Shiba Inu form. 'Cause his humanoid form is very pretty. That and I don't draw people nearly enough.

Wanna see how much of this I can get done today. This is almost gonna be double the work of any of my last few pictures 'cause this is separated out into the dog Akio layers and the human Akio layers. Each part is almost gonna be like it's own separate entity in a way. I should be able to at the least get through the lines for both parts. Lines and shading always take me the longest so I'll see how much time this takes up before I get tired.

Art Trade and CatDog Chibi

First up, an art trade with Rileyy on FA of her fursona, Riley. Really I had opened up a slot for one request on Twitter to get used to drawing with my tablet since I don't have a scanner with me. But turned it into an art trade. But I ended up taking two "requests" anyways. The second one should be done today. I think what I don't like about the process of drawing directly on photoshop is the sketching. My sketches don't turn out nearly as clean but on the flipside, they get finished so much quicker.

Second is yet another CatDog drawing. Partially for tablet drawing practice, partially to not be bored. Not to fond of Dog's eyes here though...

Taka! Tora! Batta!

Tatoba...Tatoba, Tatoba!

Finally finished with this. Stripes and shading gave me trouble, but yeah. Finished! Time permitting I should give some of the other medal combos a shot. Definitely the "Tajador" (Hawk, Peacock, Condor) combo. And the...cat one...lion, tiger, and cheetah...think that one was called "Ratorah" or something like that. Also definitely Pterosaur, Triceratops, Tyrannasaurus Rex (Putotyra...right?...I should really remember these combo names better...) one. But that's for later.

This has to be the most intricate character design I've ever made. And the most colorful. And I can't even claim it as a fully original character...

Tatoba WIP 2- Flat Colors Finished

Those tiger stripes are such a pain but turned out much more gorgeous than I thought they would. And really helped blending the three colors together much better than I thought it would. Red, yellow, and, green...I didn't know how well I could get them to work together, but as it is, I actually like it a lot. Granted it also reads "Jamaican" a little bit.

Just gotta add in the shading detail for the eyes and it should be done. Hopefully that'll be done in a few hours...hopefully. ^^; I'm sure it won't take as long as drawing all those stripes did.
