Description
Commission work for featuring her husband's( ) new foxy character, Ezhno........
Okay, I had to do that here, because I just wanted to see what those two icons looked like mashed together. So now I know, and that little void has been filled. Moving on now...
So I had a blast coloring this guy. His markings are just so beautiful I've always had a soft spot for anything black and white...
So what's with the angry face(s) there, you may ask? Well, apparently, Ezhno's personality is a rather grumpy one, which kind of reminded me of this gal THE WHOLE TIME I was making this thing And yes, "Grumpy Cat" is indeed a female, and her real name is Tardar Sauce...let's here it for epicness
I hope you like him ! And I hope I got his markings right!

Hi! I was wondering what form of pencil or pen you used to draw and color in the character?

Why hello there!
I used prismacolor colored pencils to color in the fox, smoothed over with a blending marker. The fox is outlined in pencil as well

It was my pleasure ^^ You and your wife have been such great friends/supporters these past few years, of course I'd be more than willing to do something for you in return

Wow, what an amazing ref sheet. ^^ I've always loved your style, too.
And that background texture! o: How do you do it? Or do you find them? Just curious. ^^ Great job.

Daww, thank you!
It was actually a bit difficult at first. The background is rather dark, and considering I usually work with lighter-colored backgrounds, I had to play around with it a bit until I got it to work as best I could 
I usually find those textures right off of DA here 
Thanks again!

thanks for the mention

Oh, it was no problem! I absolutely love your work! 
And while I'm here, I may as well thank you for being so kind as to offer your art up for the public to use (some textures I see others make, while good, usually have a ton of rules to follow in order to use them, so it feels as if the "free" texture really isn't "free" at all :/ )
No, of course not!

it's important for me to really enjoy using my textures. using textures with a bunch of rules in mind is no fun for me.
if i would be really protective i wouldn't start offering images at all. it's easy enough to just download and use images, so why try to put a bunch of rules with it?
those who enjoy your work will thank you in this or that way anyways. and those who suck won't care to credit at all, it's so simple.

I love drawing expressions Even though it can be a bit difficult to express the exact image that floating around in my head out on paper. Sometimes, I just doodle the same emotion over and over again until I get something I'm satisfied with

Lol Ditto! well this one came out really nice XD. I've had it before sometimes it may not be identical but its close enough or a new interpretation... and sometimes better

Oh wow, this truly came out amazingly!
I love the different expressions you gave him, they are just so cute and grumpy!
You really captured his personality perfectly, and ugh I just want to hug that little grump fox of mine. <3
Your coloring and shading is always so gorgeous.
Ezhno looks just so amazingly cute in your style!
One thing I do worry about though is the shading... It makes it a little confusing since his face is strictly white and you can't see his feet markings fully... This is still so darn cute though, but those things I worry will confuse people who draw him since they won't be able to see his markings fully or think he has a black stripe going up from his nose.

Thank you so much! I really did have quite the good time drawing/coloring him out. Those markings are just so unique!
And I'm glad I managed to capture that personality of his, I was getting worried that I may have made him "too grumpy" 
Yes yes, he is quite the handsome fellow indeed! Maybe a hug from you would be enough to get him out of his funk! 
Dawww, why thank you so much for that! Seriously, your comment just made my night day. I'm happy you chose me to commission him for you!
Constructive critisizem always appreciated when it comes from the owner of the character

You really captured him so perfectly, OMG I just adore him in your style!
No, you made him look so grumpily cute - I love it!
I'm happy you had lots of fun with him and will defiantly commission you to just draw him next time, since I will keep saying you made him look so freaking grumpy and cute! I want to snuggle him so hard.
Oh its no worries, I just worry people will get confused about the markings. When I uploaded it to *IamETOH 's account (hope you don't mind, I did give fully credit to you and a link to the original) I linked to the drawing I did as a clearer view of the paw markings - They were even tough for me. XD But that's okay, I'm not upset and do love your shading, its gorgeous I just worry people will confuse his markings and think he has black on top of his muzzle (even though in the expressions and the little drawing you did it clear how he truly looks - People though. xD)

Oh gosh, I love your grumpy cat reference <3 Tardar sauce? That is the coolest thing ever.

It came to me out of the blue when I had finished sketching this thing. I was all like when it first crossed my mind, and then I was like, that is a perfect reference yes
It has to be one of the weirdest/coolest names I've ever heard somebody call their cat (with the exception of my cat's name, Ghost Shadow, courtesy of my little sister. )

Ghost Shadow? That is quite a cool name for a cat! Sounds mysterious~~ Like how I imagine cats to be

Bawww, another great reference sheet. I can see you've improved recently, especially when it comes to expressions! Well done.
