I happily present this gorgeous picture of Vilanna the Ninetales belonging to B424! She decided to REALLY go to town with her thickness on her way to visit her little mortal admirer, my sona Clypse the Umbreon who we see way down there. .///.
Vilanna is at her all natural height here but her chest width definitely isn’t. >///> Seems she has a special agenda in mind for the afternoon and evening. Ooof! Those naughty kitsunes….
These pictures are getting much easier to do now with adding textures to bodies. The fine fur and fabric textures are a custom set Photoshop fan brush with reduced bristles and width. It works very well!
As for my long fur textures, I still use a single tip regular brush and paint every one of those fur strands by hand. Yes, it is a misconception that I use some special brush for the long fur but now, it is all painted by hand. It’s what I learned to do traditionally and I still do it digitally!
I feel like I am at the threshold of being the artist I always wanted to be in the way I wanted to be most: Incredible shading, no lineart and brilliant color. It took me nearly 15 years to get here but I finally am!
