Description I meant to post this yesterday, but I ended up getting busy and distracted Whoops! Oh well... here it is now.

So in light of my recent decision to try and make the most of my art, for a good portion for the rest of the year, by designing (new/old) characters, I decided to start by redesigning these lovely ladies: [link] because let's face it; after four years, they NEEDED it

Jessi (who is the little pink Amy Rose looking thing in the older image) got both a species and a design makeover She's now a kangaroo rat [link] (blame Jyrras from the webcomic DMFA and Jake from the movie Rescuers Down Under) and her clothing has been tweaked into something a little more stylish (head bandana and skirt/sash thingy ftw!).

As the illustration shows, this lucky lady happens to end up with Josh [link] ...Only she doesn't know it's Josh 8D; See, around the time she meets/sees him, it's when Josh is under that whole "people are supposed to think I'm dead" operation (along with Raff, Mase and Shawn), so he introduces himself under the fake name of Joel (and that's also why he's wearing the alternate outfit).

I think they're just supposed to be strolling down a street or in a club (made a snazzy little wall mural/hanging design in the background there ). Yay for me insisting on making pretty backgrounds! *hit* In other random factoids of interesting... Jessi happens to be best friends with Christina, who is Josh's twin sister Needless to say, it makes for quite the interesting revelation when the whole operation is done with and Josh is finally able to tell her who he really is But that's a story for another day!

Jessi really has had a major change, I'll admit that before reading the description I actually thought you'd put up a new character. WHICH SHOWS HOW FAIL I AM.

Like Kao I'm gay for Josh's hat, because it looks like the hat that a hobo I like wears. *Gets odd looks* ...What? 8D Anyway, as well as alternate outfit Josh the new design for Jessi is absolutely fantastic. She has a really different outfit and the colours work really well together. Particularly loving the pink wrap around her waist. Also, you're good with combining sandy/blonde colours for fur. And yay for new species! =3

Love the painting! (and just wondering...how the heck did you get the texture for that wall? Intresting look. )

Hmm...a kangaroo rat anthro character. That's something I've never seen. ^^ Great work.

As for Josh being 'under-cover' if you will, why do I get a 'mission impossible' theme vibe from him?

This looks really neat, I love the almost retro feel I get from it, must be the clothes XD. I am guessing they are at an art gallery because that is one funky(in a GOOD way) painting behind them. You always have such great attention to detail Cari, it makes your art so awesome to watch ^_^

Josh is actually one of my fave charas of yours appearance wise, so it's nice to see him in an alternate outfit. Love the necklace, gloves, and that hat... for some reason when I was younger I used to think that style of hat was just TTLY AWSM MANGGGG The first main character I ever had, had a hat like that that said "UP YOURS" on the back, which he AAAALWAYS wore, even in formal occasions, which in turn pissed off his more "proper" friend who always tried to snatch it off his head but would then get beat up for his efforts...yes \:... that was when I was like 10 AH YOUTH... |||| THEN, much later in the kaotimeline, around when I was 13 or so, Ryuu actually wore a blue version of that hat in his design. So it's like... lol WAT :I

These days I don't see what the big deal was but in my ~youth~ I was just like... YEAH MANNNN THAT HAAAAAATTT

...so okay yes kao, shut up about the hat

uh yes actually I was just going to say that I really love Jessi's outfit. The wrap around her waist and hair... fffffffffffffffffffffFFABULOUS DAHLING

The mural in the background totally looks like some kind of international art you'd see in any big city
