Description I love this so much!! This is the best thing I've done to date, in my opinion.

I started out just drawing an aussie dingo, because it seemed like a fun thing to draw. Then, for some unknown reason, I decided to go all out. Basically, I wanted to draw what I called a "saleable image." Meaning I wanted to draw a complete picture, coloured with a background and everything, and I wanted it to be of a fairly generic character, instead of one of my personal characters, since I'd feel weird about selling personal char's.
I call her Steffani Arvin, because the allusion amuses me.

This is Tria Markers, once again, with Prismacolor pencils, on Bristol board. Inked with Super Black India Ink and one o' them Speedball pens (the brand of nib I use actually isn't speedball, but I'm too lazy to go see what it is). Most of the background is marker, Steff herself is mostly marker with a good deal of pencil shading, and that main tree is a mostly coloured pencil, with a marker...uh... "primer coat," if you will. I'm so very proud of it.

Steff is a dingo. The large snake is an emerald tree boa. The dark snake is a carpet python. Photoreference found at [link] . I have no idea if those species actually live together or not.

WOW this is a pretty background ; ; I actually don't have much in the way of critique, because I really like this. The only thing I'd say is that her top lip-ish thing goes down a bit far, and maybe you'd want to put just a wee bit more shadow detail on those shorts, but it's a really good and really adorible picture ^^ I adore your softshading and your amazing background skills ; ; I shall fave this and watch you ^^

Oh, you *should* be proud of this one I think the feet look fine! (prefers plantigrade too..) The toes still look anthro, and that works well. If anything, the left hand looks a bit..uh...webbed? Excellent work!

*glee!* Thank you, Charpal!! Bwaha, and Thank you for seeing my attempt at humour! The only one of my friends who really noticed it was one guy who told me a few weeks after he'd seen it, "Y'know, you probably didn't intend this, but it's kinda funny..."

Hehe, as far as the colours go, I believe that's.... every shade of green I own....

Heh, just kidding. I dunno if I could part with it now. If I ever get a prints-type thingy set up, tho, I'll definitely offer this baby. ^^

Thank you! But there's no need to bow. Stop it! Stop that bowing this instant! Get up!

More anthro doesn't have to be digigrade. But bigger feet (aka Bugs Bunny).
