Description I drew a pose of Swift that I've had in mind for about year. Though, I'm glad I waited to draw it becuase my anatomy has improved, and I got to try an abstract coloring style. The ideas for how to do the background were changing as I worked. I wanted a word but then went with the Kanji phrase "天に翔る" or "Leap up to the sky". I'm pretty satisfied with the result. I used markers, ink pens, and colored pencils.

P.S: sorry guys I drew this on May 29th but forgot to share it here.

Woooaah
That's an amazing piece of art! ^.=.^ I love the colors and the transitions between them. And the shading is awesome! I also noticed the hole in the pants where the tail comes out, that's clever.

And it's great to hear that you're going better. ^.=.^

Shiftagen In reply to GizmoTheDragon [2015-07-31 20:40:38 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Mixing the two works well. you can mix with regular pencils for a low saturation effect.

As for the pants, I don't remember where I first saw it, but someone was thinking. I know ShaunSnow added it to his characters undergarment, with a button. Can you imagine if there was no button you'd have to pull your tail through while all the hair gets yanked backwards?! That would be hard and uncomfortable. Not to mention the removal difficulty level if you had to run to the toilet!

Yikes, plus its all the more worse if ya got a tail as thick and fluffy as mine O_O" *shudders just thinking about it* Glad we made sure ours had buttons though!

Maybe, only problem is is it rips easily and wears out over time

I've also seen tail sleeves as a solution to the tail problem, which have buttons on them. Some furrys don't have holes like that at all; they just keep their pants down just enough for their tail to stick out.

Shiftagen In reply to GizmoTheDragon [2015-08-02 05:41:05 +0000 UTC]

Please show me an example of the "tail sleeves".

As for the lowered one I've seen it here:


Though I wonder if it would ride up at all and press a little on the base of the tail? not sure.

Different artists tail styles and how they fit the pants inspired Gizmo. I figured I'd show yours in an example. if you need me to I can take it down.
