Description I was sitting with one day, when I suddenly thought, "Hey, I bet Tazzle's name sounds spiffy in Japanese!" She then opened her arms wide and exclaimed, "Tazz'ru-San!" So Tazzle got a new nickname out of that. 8D

On my quest to learn to draw in as many styles as possible, I've fallen in love with detailed digital shading again. But gosh, it's been years since I've done it, and even with the convenience of a tablet it takes so long! I spent four days on and off working on Tazzle. She's almost done. I want to spiffy up the shading on her fur a little more, add highlights to the skateboard, etc. But I'm happy enough to go ahead and post her--I'll update this image with the final later.

I don't skateboard myself. But I wish I could. And FYI I got Reign to take at least four photos of me propping up a container lid(the impromptu skateboard) because I doodled up the PERFECT pose for Tazzle's character and wanted to make sure I was drawing it right. I fell over a couple times because I was balancing on one leg and don't have a tail to lean on like Tazzle here.

Tazzle is not exactly the best role-model 8D

Awesome character!  Yay for glowy anthro thylacines.  Also rock candy ftw.

Awesome! But what species is she?

She's a thylacine/tasmanian tiger, a now extinct species.

And thank you

Wow! You just scored major bonus points. I love it when people use rare/exotic species, but to use an extinct one - EPIC WIN!!!

She looks GORGEOUS in this style love the pose too!

Think you might be tempted to make a fursuit of this character one day?

Thank youuuu.

Haha, and I SO am. Whenever I decide I want a new fursuit, it's going to be a tough decision between Tazzle or Nyxis. Lol, I've tossed the idea around in my head, and the toughest part for Tazzle would be trying to figure out how I'm going to make some fake rock candy since the real stuff wouldn't be good for her fur. ^__^

Gosh, rock candy props would be so awesome! You could make overly-toony plush ones or if you are really adventurous, you could try using something like acrylic cubes, and gluing them onto sticks.

So many bright colors! *w*
Love how this turned out, especially the glowy bits and the shading on the hair.
And damn those are some muscular legs. o-o

YAAY

I don't know, it was highly experimental. I think they're just really REALLY tight slacks. "I'm an emo kid as nonconforming as can be~"

EEEEEEEEK!! I thought you'd never take up detailed shading again! I missed all the shininess and luminosity that your old style had. The combination of new and old is really befitting. I like Tazzle's clothing here and the skateboard looks cool! Great job.

Haha, thanks! It seems like the prettiest things take the most copious amounts of time for me, but it's worth it because you get something that really stands out.
