Right, so I pulled out of the previous GFX round due to not being able to finish on time. Since then I've been working on the image on-and-off and now it's finished only about a week late.

The picture shown below is half the size, the fullsize one can be found by clicking on the picture.

The full resolution pic (1280xs1024) is low quality...the high quality version is 1.1Mb and doesn't fit on photobucket xD Lame. Except I feel justified with the size...this was hand-drawn from start to finish.

I should have tidied up the sketchlines more, but wasn't actually intending to spend this much effort on it. Meh.

All I have to say is that you bring out my inner furry with your blatant disregard of taste so far as art and contemporary social sciences are concerned.

*blinks twice*

Ahem. I do believe I had a frog in my throat whilst speaking previously. Allow me to correct myself:

"All I have to say is that you bring out my inner fury...etc.."

Bully, old chap.
Bully.

Good thing you changed the word, lest Xzeno goes for your jugular vein.

Haha, it might still happen.

I just took another look and Strip, and maybe I'm just looking at this wonky, but her nose and hair have really similar colors, which seems to make them blend together... I just thought it made the lower half of her face look rather- blobbish.

lol is voidy mellowing out, or is his senescence causing his dysphasia to act up

or is it possible to overcome one's distaste by drawing nice enough boobs? I must take this as a compliment!

kyouzou, you're not looking at it wonky, it's a known issue that causes both cen and headaches... i'll have to figure out some kind of fix. it may involve giving strips hair streaks or a tint.

What the heck are you doing up, horsey?

Same coloured stuff: Causes Cen.
Sounds like a warning label/sticker I will need:
WARNING
Might cause Cen.

Boobs make the world go around, I'm sure of it, as such I'm positive that should they be magnificent enough they can overcome any barrier. Or maybe Voidy is a furry...

Good to know I wasn't the only one who had noticed that, maybe instead of changing her hair, you could lighten the shade of her nose, or would they entail you having to lighten her forearms too?

I debated it and ended up lightening the nose, as well as the whole picture. I'm not sure how my settings are compared to everybody else so getting the balance is really tricky.

Anyway, I've spent way more time than I intended to spend on this, I might as well put in some kind of background and complete the thing lol.

sigh... more work... then maybe I can finally check WoM email!

Looks better on my end. Then again, I always keep my brightness as low as possible, partly because I want to save power and partly because normal brightness feels like it's cooking my eyeballs. Anyway, what do you think of the white fluffy bits on her... top? They look a little flat to me. Have fun reading the email. I only sent you about four pages.

yeah that fluffy trim was fine initially but got ruined by changing the brightness settings #$&@%! oh well easy enough to fix.

also I would take a cheap shot at you for indirectly contributing to the perpetuation of normative symmetry discrimination in boobs... but I never intended for strip to be a representative for asymmetrical boobed people!

Doesn't sound like her either. She would probably find it to be a flaw.

Looks better for me, I can tell the difference between her hair and face now. xD I think you could just add a little texture to the furry bits and they'd look normal again, or darken what you already had...

Furry bits added! Not like I can really see it much. Oh well. Whatever. And now I have to debate doing the background...

or go to sleep since I've been working as regular throughout the Xmas period.

Happy New Year everybody. I'm now going to awkwardly post a link to what I was working on over Christmas, lol.

NB don't open that link at work or around people with conservative sensibilities.

Strop has awkwardly long legs.

I like how they're fighting in the background, though. x)
