Always wanted to do a hardcore surf scene with a Latrans canadensis (River Otter). This picture was inspired by BrianWear's "Surf's Up" Picture with a cute beefcake surfer, thought I should do my own.

*chuckles* Yep I'm still learning, and I emphasize more on expression rather than anatomy, but I really should learn how to balance and refine the two.
But thank you K-Wolfe

It's awsome! A perfect work creating the bg, the wave really seems dynamic, and the interaction with the character is excellent... Congrats

Wow, you noticed the "interaction"!
Yes, I put in a little effort into making him look at the viewer.

This is one of my favorites of yours yet! The photoshoping of the waves really lets it flow better, it just adds alot to the picture itself. I havent been able to find that much otter art lately, this is great! <3

I suppose it does, but part of me feels like I'm sort of cheating, why can't I do the same thing with my own bare hands? (lol)
What got me into otters was reading the Redwall series, so I'm kind of surprised myself there isn't much otter art.

I think its just a new style that your not really sure about yet, but everyone loves it so dont worry about that.
Redwall is actually where i got hooked on the Fur Fandom/Lifestyle stuff. I didnt realise it at the time becuase i was only in third grade, but i caught myslef thinking about what it'd be like to be part animal.

Once more fantastic Otter surfer! The background turned out pretty darn good. Nice. ^^

That made me both happy and sad at the same time, happy that I was able to surpass myself, sad that my other works are being compared with it, but thanks.

Really nice picture, how long did it take you to do it. And the instant i saw it I thought of Bayshore from Dog days of summer. Must ask, if you've read the whole thing how did you react to the VERY naughty part?
I completely freaked out.
And your drawing, besides the clouds and waves is there another thing done in photoshop?

I didn't buy the comic, so I didn't see the whole thing. But I'm immune to naughty art by now.
And as for the drawing, not really except for the usual blur and blend effects.

Immune?
What did you see? Cauze I still feel uncomfortable when ever I stumble upon some of blotch's naughty side. No that I'm against it. If Blotch likes to draw things like that I won't judge him. I try not to judge people who go around doing or seeing stuff like that. And still compared to what I saw in DDOS, I've seen more graphic stuff.
Oh and if you want to read it it's on the internet. It took me about five minutes to find it by google. I had it on my computer, but I later got uncomfortable knowing it was on the same computer my sister uses and I erased it.
At the end I was like AWWWW!!! X3
So cute.

Well, being fond of handsome males, I err... anyways sometimes such photographs can be used to draw anatomy, because the people are in poses you wouldn't normally see.
And I do attend figure drawing classes from time to time.

Hmmm....
Can't complain myself, all thou most of the nudity I've seen normally isn't my fault. It's the kind of wrong time at the wrong place kind of thing. I don't actually go searching the stuff, but I have to admit once one of Blotch's naughty ones, instead of freaking me out it caused a kind of "That sooooo cute" kind of feeling.
And i've been feeling as guilty as hell.
Oh well...
