Description ..Just a reference to her colour scheme.

Picture drawn for *CrimsonSacrifice 's contest, which was more or less to draw a character as her Langur Hali/Mutant Cat species (which are awesome by the way ). So.. I doodled a bit and she came out!

Her name's Ginger.. I think it's because of her hair, which I played around with a bit before settling on this style. She's a bit of a flirt as you can see by all the shinies she has on her (male Langur Hali love shinies) I haven't coloured any anthros in a long time so this was a lot of fun to do.. especially the floofy tail. *fluffs* I really like her!

Sidenote: One of the things I learnt from this was that I can't turn Swift into anything other than herself. I was considering whether I should draw Swift as a Langur Hali, just for the heck of it, then realised if I did she just wouldn't be Swift to me anymore, she'd be a Langur Hali with Swift's colours and markings. It was then I saw that Swift's species and breed is as much a part of her as her colours.. and if I changed that it just wouldn't feel right. (I think those of you who have a fursona that 'fits' will know what I mean.)

Okay I'll shut up now. Hope you like it, Honeytail, you've created an amazing species!

Well, it's cute, for one (obviously I'm gonna say that XD), but I think you cel-shade really well too ^^ (I can't do it for nuts, it always looks too plain >>; ) The way you colored the hair is pretty awesome, too ^_^

LOL! Yeah, I'd been drawing them in my sketchbook 'n stuff but I never uploaded them Anthros are fun because you can play around with clothes and such.. that's always the fun part for me

Thank you

Just a little thought, is the neck a tab bit too long? Otherwise, its a great piece of art!

Hmm.. perhaps. I have a tendency to elongate mecks. It's what comes of drawing too many floaty disembodied character heads on my doodle pages. Ah well practice well next time. Thanks dude

I totally know what you mean re: the fursonas.

I was like 'hey I'm going to be clever and turn Ox into a midget critter and then I can do the same to every one else's fursona and make a hoooge gift pic!!1'

But then I never got past Ox so I dropped it :E. It's strange.

Aaaah I like the pic. THE COLORS. Not the usual combination at all howareyousooriginalkjlkejrte. She looks slightly devious DD.

Oh LOL. That would have been awesome to see.. but yeah. Swift is a whippet, pure and simple. She'll never be anything else in my eyes. Just like Ox will always be a... wolf.. thing with a tail that's a separate entity. o.O

And thank youu.. I just love these bright citrus-colours so I... put them on my characters! har.
