Description For *booker , a rendition of her character Michelle Jocasta .

Drawn in "my style" (and if you know what that means, good, because I don't) .

Michelle is the protagonist of booker's comic 'Skin Deep'. Your ordinary college freshman, until she comes into posession of an antique medallion one day, and *poof* she wakes up the next day as a creature of myth that even the mythical creatures themselves consider only legend! Of course, she's not alone -- turns out her college roommate and friends are mythic creatures of their own.

I have a real strong love-hate relationship with the TF genre. I don't know how I stumbled onto booker's comic in the first place but I actually came out liking it. Sure, I did have few nits and gripes (some more vocal than others) here and there, but overall? Not bad. Not bad at all. It has many things in common with the plot bunnies that have been roaming about my head for years....

It's also amazing that booker continues to update her comic with a new page each week. I could never do close to that....

9x12" of ink and Prismacolor pencils, three or so hours (badly delayed over two months). I hate the winter slumps....

I always loved mihcellas "not right! not right!" Comment when "it" happened.

PS. Was the pic damaged a bit? I see some pixel mud.

You can actually notice that? I'm impressed. It's just the usual compression artifacts is all.

Wow, I think you're the first person I actually met to complain about the searches of different type TF art. I wonder if there are others who agree with you will show up here.

Glad to hear you like it. This is probably the first time I've tried that sort of shading for the feet (front paws especially).

I keep saying that someday I'll include actual backgrounds instead of just randomly abstracted 'backdrops'... but that requires actually planning it out
