Description
Welp, I'm starting summer off with a bikini image! (Man, looks so much better with reference!) I'm using my character Niti for this image, first time I've really done a digital work of her. Hope you guys like it! X3Niti Morgan-Zorra is © Matt Tritz, AKA Silverfox

Thank you much! ^^ Though, I look at it now and wish I drew the feet differently... oh well, the rest looks nice! <3

Another very lovely one =3 Though I wonder, you used a reference, what kind of? I believe not a photo with a whole woman on it, doing this pose? Anyway, normally I would say anatomy is a little off around her bust area, but somehow that looks like it would belong to the style. Another thing is; I know that feet are one of the hardest things to draw, but I encourage you to go for it and try something that works better with this pose than her feet pointing down. If you are having problems with such things while creating an image, I can give you red lines =3
Other than that, I do like her muzzle and tail. Her muzzle is lovely fox like, I just find it so wrong, how some people draw it. All over again, people draw something that they pretend to be a fox character, but it totally looks like a dog or a wolf. Even though it's generally the same species, you can definately make a difference between those 3. Once I saw such an image of something that was said to be a fox, I just pointed out that it looks totally like a dog to me, only pointing it out as my opinion, and it took not long till I felt like being in a digital war. Side story, nevermind. The tail is very sweet in size, length and shape, but I guess I am allowed to say, that I pretty much influenced you on that matter, no? :b
Also, I like the simplicity of the bikini **fan of minimalism** and the whole color play of the image. The light red of that one and her purple hair goes very well with her fur shades. A very harmonic image. You got me inspired to do the same image, that could be interesting. It's just kind of a shame that my vacation gets right in the middle, I guess I will use my time there different, than drawing. Let's see if I will think of it afterwards =3
What I realize just now: In my image, you were requesting 2 tails, has that changed? I personally like it more with 1 tail. 2 tails feel to me like looking for attention, also why I draw the tails in a way that it's definately getting enough attention all alone =3
Ha, and I thought I am done with the comment but another thing came to my attention; it would be asked for too much, telling you to go for an angled head, this will come later. But concerning her visible eye, you should try making her look into any direction by just moving her pupil, maybe to the viewer, or front, anywhere. Keeping the pupil right in the middle makes her look........ I dunno...... I really can't describe, but you will get my point anyway

The kind of reference I used was actually a base, but I didn't use it the way a base should be used. Instead of taking it and building off of it, I started from scratch on one sheet of paper and had said base on a separate sheet next to my drawing sheet to look off of. I make it a point that if I'm going to use a base (which I've done once before) not to copy directly off of it.
The muzzle looked thinner and more angled in the trad, but it was hard making it look right in my art program. I use the brush for lines that are irregular in shape, and the line tool for straight and curved lines. But neither tool could do the job right, so I made a slight adjustment. I really get annoyed by these artists who draw giant dog snouts on foxes, it's irritating. But it isn't nearly as irritating as when they pull something like a side shot of the head and there is almost no muzzle at all! And yes, you influenced me, Mr. Matt's inspiration, you! X3 The style of the bikini is a mixture of one of my designs stripped of the pattern and the iconic one Sabrina Salerno wore in her most popular music video in the 80s (popular for a reason, it's nip-slip city!) The color is Niti's favorite color, aside from purple.
Yeah, I don't draw her often, so I forgot about the second tail till around 3 minutes after I posted it here. I don't mind, but if she saw this, I think she might (she takes details quite seriously.)
I've done angled heads before, like with my Spring Break image. My issue is frontal views, I can't ever get the muzzle to actually look like it isn't just painted onto a flat face. As for the pupil, I kinda off-centered it when I was layering it under. I thought at the time it was looking down, and until you mentioned it just now, I still thought that. :\
