I love the colors and the anatomy, but what's a "Kishu Oiran?"

You don't do a lot of colorful stuff usually, but when you do it, you're doing it right!
I really dig the palette and the patterns against the more solid colored parts!

This piece is so striking, it would make a lovely print.

I love everything about this but something with the neck throws me off in that it makes the head look like a mask and not part of the body.

Oh, I love the colors on this. The blues and reds really contrast nicely, and those textures work really well to draw the eye to the character! Lovely composition and overall art piece, as well. :>

The more i look at it, the more I love it. The colors, the pose, the composition and motion. The biggest thing I like about this is that the fabric starts to look like Koi fish the longer I look at it <3 fantastic work

Why does Sumi never have breasts if she is a girl?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
The breasts of the human female are unique in the animal world, only few primate species come close of having similar kind of swollen and rounded breasts. My female characters are anthropomorphic canines (not humans or apes), thus they don't have protruding breasts unless they're lactating, they've produced a lot of offspring or they have a high body fat percentage. Sumi here doesn't have kids and she's relatively young and fit, so her chest is flat.

That makes sense. Thank you for the insight!

Not all girls have breasts

Ahh, this is beautiful. Such a lovely character; she looks so calm and composed, exactly like I'd expect these performers to be. The fabric looks so crazy awesome, I don't even know how you do that. I can't be sure, but I think that her torso is a little out of proportion though. Maybe it's just the shoulders? I could be wrong, it looks amazing anyway.

This is stunning, knocked me off my feet!
And, out of curiosity, what is a Kishun Oiran?

Glad you like it! ^v^
"Kishu" is a rare, medium-sized dog breed native to Japan, "Oiran" is a traditional Japanese high-class courtesan, slightly similar to Geisha.

Ooooooooh okay!
I think I knew what it was, but I had a blank.
And your welcome!

I love the way you draw anthros.
The anatomy looks somewhat different from all the other anthro characters I usually see, and it's very graceful and interesting.
Anyway, I love the colours and the textures in this drawing c:

Hah! I was expecting someone to say that!

Interesting take on it.
I can tell your anthros lean closer towards the animal rather than the human (with the digitigrade legs and this), as opposed to my anthros for example. I keep the body anatomy real close to a human's.
But hey, you've got yourself an unique concept, I like it.
