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.
Anyhoo: Business that I really should have mentioned the first time around: I had a question about the above tiger girl's foot: she seems to have a pad on her heel which is fine, but it doesn't accurately reflect cat anatomy: Does this particular cat girl not walk upon her toes as cats usually do? In which case why is her entire foot not padded? Does she have a very steep arch? Do you simply prefer the aesthetics of the padded heel? I do like your detailing work: You do a very nice job of suggesting complexity without overburdening the page with fiddly little details as artists often do.
Sand up the butthole sounds painful. Sounds like somebody got buried at the beach a little too deep, either that, or your friends play some very sadistic games!
On a similar note I may write a reflection on the nature of being single as one gets older. I've done the relationships thing for a while in the past but am currently not looking, nor do I see myself being "on the market" for a while yet (career and hobby priorities)... but I'm at that stage of my life where every mother I meet (especially patients) ask me if I'm married/engaged (to which I say "oh goodness me no lolololol".

To be honest I skimped on that detail because my agenda was to be quick. I've run into enough trouble with figuring out where to put the pads (if any) because let's face it, digitigrade anthropomorphised (yay neologisms!) animal legs are a bit like sticking two gears that run in the same direction together. I don't know what would be accurate or most practical etc.
I find the direction of the deep and detailed discussions on how to reconcile these things a bit, well, not the way I'd choose to spend my time! Getting to that point (as I often do given my habitual observance of human surface anatomy) also means being prone to running in that uncanny valley that freaks people out, which is why I'm planning to use a cartoon style more in future. I'm aware this statement in itself is ambiguous, of course.
In this case I gave Amy human shaped feet (a la Oblivion khajiit, so she would walk with her heel too) but even so perhaps that pad ought to be removed from the heel. Not that it matters if I just make her wear shoes all the time like I intend to haha.

Thanks. I'd like to say it was education and practice that got me there but ultimately it was laziness.
I mean, normally artist threads are only posted in by the artist themselves, so there is an unspoken rule that other people don't post their own images unless they ask. But that's no more than an unspoken rule, since a) it's a feature unique to AM&W b) so it's not an official rule anywhere, therefore enforcing it would be kinda, well, ****.
But since an unspoken rule is still a done thing around here, yeah, don't make a habit of it I guess.
So I just finished 12 straight days of work (sucked). Today, instead of working on WoM, I went to a fancy dress party. Dressed as some dude from Tron.
(Yes, I did have some fun with photo filters.)
The costume actually consisted of a spandex one-piece morphsuit which I had holes cut out of for the eyes and mouth, then slotted fitovers into. I then applied liberal amounts of high luminescence tape to it, as well as some black spike tape. This turned out to be a slightly poor choice as because the spandex was stretchy, it made affixing the relatively rigid luminescent tape quite a job, and it also didn't conform to the fabric when stretching or moving. Not surprising, but I did want to reuse the morphsuit so I had to stick to temporary things. Alternatives included EL wire (which would have required wearing something rigid) and sewing safety fabric strips on, but again, too permanent.
Until today I was not aware of Rorscach, until he rocked up and intuited that I must be up to no good. A battle in the apartment ensued.
For a change of pace a venue slightly more sparse and therefore suitable to the vernacular of my outfit.
I was very pleased to find that as expected, my suit glowed in the dark. It made spending virtually the entire evening wearing the suit while applying tape to it (difficult!) worth it.
As a side note, the disc is simply the remains of a cardboard box I cut several rings out of and layered them up before binding them with masking tape. It actually makes a superior frisbee, I could flick this thing 30m easy, in fact I reckon it could go at least 50.
And the best part is that I now have a spandex ninja suit which I can use to dress up as, you guessed it, NINJA HOERS. Except I'd have to somehow get the head first, and further modify the head.
Woah. You did a great job getting with the tape, and an even better job posing for pictures. I might have to make the third one my background, it's just very sexy.
