Draw This Again: Tsuki

Was originally trying to get this finished so that I could enter it into DeviantART's Draw This Again contest. However, I was pretty silly to think that I could get something finished in a day and half that actually reflected how much I had improved in comparison to the first picture. XD; I was so swamped with other things, that I kind of put it off longer than I really should have. *shrugs* But, whatever.

I had actually wanted to do this meme for a long time anyways so the contest was really only necessary in giving me a little drive to actually complete it. Even though I'm hours late for the deadline, I still wanted to continue on and finish it up. I wanted to post it so that at least my watchers would, hopefully, appreciate it even if it's not a contest entry. X3

The picture I decided to redraw was actually Tsuki's very first (colored) anthro picture. You can still find it in my gallery here: [link]

Hopefully there is some obvious improvement? owo; LOL, if anything, you can at least see how Tsuki has changed since her very first anthro image. XD; Her hair has gained more volume, locks, and some more length. She regained that Xweetok tail stripe. (Still not sure WHY I ever left that out in this... Perhaps I kept forgetting it?) She has lost some other stripes too though. The ones on her ears and the second set closest to the ankles are now gone. She still has the set of stripes on her thighs, but they are hidden by the pants so aren't visible. So, she has TWO sets of stripes on her legs instead of three, keeping true to the fact that TNT'S Striped Xweetoks also just have the two. (And no ear stripes either. I'm not sure why I added those either. I suppose I figured that they had them, but didn't bother double checking.)

Now, how about the improvements? There are a number of them that I know I can see, but I'm not going to discuss ALL of them. I friggin' TIRED so I'll let you guys compare on your own! @w@ I will, however, discuss at least ONE before I crash and cuddle with my Buizilla.

PRAYING MANTIS LEGS!!! OAO

Oh, my god! Oxo; Thank goodness time was kind to me and I was able to fix that and draw nicer looking legs later on with some practice. Her legs are no longer obscenely long for her proportions and she has a more believable foot size. Since she is an anthro character, her feet are basically stylized paws and I had to sketch out the entire thing BEFORE I shaped the slipper around it.

It was time consuming, but I couldn't just guess at the look and have it sit right with me. I needed it to actually look like a pawed foot was in the shoe and not a more human like one. So, her shoes are now a bit bigger as well.

*stretches and snuggles up against some warm, orange fur* Sigh, anyways, thank you guys for all of your support. Hehe, especially the ones that have been around since those darker,... bug like anatomy days of mine. XD I love all of you very much and I hope you appreciate this little piece. That would be better than any contest prize anyways! XD
