*growf*

November! Cripes.... second last month of the year already, seems so crazy fast. SO! First off, I do have the Artist Highlight for Kashmere that was supposed to be in Friday's Paw-Post - she got it to me yesterday, so figured I might as well just toss it here (as well as retro-fit it back into the journals for Friday's). Partly my fault here - I had contacted her on Weasyl, and turns out she does not check it very often. Oops!

And on the topic of Highlights, if any of you think an artist draws nice paws and should be asked about a highlight, let me know! There are still more I'd like to ask, but eventually I'll be running out of them, so any input is always welcome. Same goes for character highlights. :)

Alright, let's get underway!

Most Pawesome Picture
Herro: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18117354/ (C2: nsfw-ish, m/f)

Why: Because Drip. Herro's Drip Dry has always been a character that LOVES making statements with her gorgeous feet, and Halloween is that one time of year where she really gets to play with them. She has wonderful feet, a great playful nature and is a gorgeous older lady to boot. I would be in heaven to be in this lucky guy's place! Imagine the nice playful wiggles of those toes, the warm pads and the lovely scent - yep... heaven. Drip was a Character Highlight as well on June 5th (https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6789273/), and this is not the first time she's being all awesome and stuff on Halloween: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/9170203/, https://www.furaffinity.net/view/11961385/ (both NSFW).


CariFoxLeopad:
(vacation!)

Okay she has none this time because she's on vacation. But.... how weird would it be not seeing her name on the top of the list? :P


Incorgnito:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18108178/ (C4: nsfw, f)

One awesome Halloween picture of Skylar - and the results of far, far too many college-age sexy trick-or-treaters coming to visit, apparently. :P Heeeeee - I love the candy that's stuck between her toes.


Foxypaws:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18111439/ (C3 & C4: nsfw-ish, m/m/m)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18111652/ (C4: nsfw-ish, m/m

Hur... Halloween celebrations in Foxy's Blender-world are...... different. And not entirely pleasant for Smawgy - BUT, Foxy did have a good point; Smawgy is being punished for eons of evil doing, after all. ;) This is part of his rehabilitation. Also... one of the most wonderful views of Foxy's nice soles yet!


3DiNoZ:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18112982/ (C4: nsfw, m)

"Pawlloween" - I love it! And if this is a Trick or Treat, Smell my Feet offer... I'm all for it. :3 Great looking thick paw.


Sebafox:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18114732/ (C4: nsfw, f)

Here's Jane, a sucubbus deamon who has some very nice thickly padded soles. :3


TideKeeper:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....5-cg-maxisop-3 (C3: sfw, m)
(alt. link): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18115800/

What a gorgeous job TideKeeper did of this one - so beautifully painted and lit. And certainly no complaints that this handsome dragon removed his boots first before tending to his letters. We get a lovely sole view.


GothWolf:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18115892/ (C3: nsfw-ish, m)

Razim's sexy hybrid deer/rabbit feet! Unique design, and oh so wonderfully shown off in this picture of the handsome fella.


Teaselbone:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18124261/ (C3: nsfw, f, macro)

The always beautiful Hera, and a building exploding in the structural equivalent of a nose-bleed. See - best place to be there is to run out to either side of the building and take shelter in those nice toes. :3


Volac:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18124465/ (C4: nsfw, f/m, charr!, art-human)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18133201/ (C4: nsfw, m)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18134615/ (C4: nsfw, tm)

Heh - now there's a tag for the first one you don't see often. Some lucky human guy's got himself a very lovely charr gal. In the others, we got a couple more cool looking characters and all three, great looking paws!


Evil-Sprite:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18126146/ (C3: sfw, m, macro)

One BIG digi-paw, with one heck of a nice meaty sole and toes. Why are they running? I wouldn't run.


Tag (aka Staggard):
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18126852/ (C4: nsfw, m/m)

Wow - two pole performers at once, neat! And the top one, Solarflare, is showing off some really nice sole. I don't know if I'd have been paying much attention to the performance up until that point, but he'd have my UNDIVIDED attention at that point. XD


Demicoeur:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18131894/ (C4 & C5: nsfw, m/m)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18131908/ (C4 & C5: nsfw, m/m)

Now that's neat - a tweak on a sergal character with a dragon. Nice C5 type paws in both pictures.


Hologram:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18133596/ (C4: nsfw-ish, m)

ShadowKeeper has gotten himself into a bit of a literal bind here. I dunno of holding up big attractive soles is a very good defence against whoever comes in. Then again, it would render most paw-lovers pretty inert so... maybe it really is a good idea. XD


Vallhund:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18135651/ (C4: nsfw, m/m)

Handsome RenkiWolf and Echo having an intimate yet touching moment together. Nice views of both their footpaws and lovely toes in this one.


GothWolf & Cruzrobin (collab.):
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18136499/ (C3: sfw, m)

Here's a creative idea; bit of a frankencat character! Really great looking sole on the one paw - I say one because the other is technically a different paw, haha. Neat.


ZP92:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18137210/ (C2/C3: sfw, f)

Eeeeeeeeheeeheee... what a sight that would be if you were floating down that river on a boat (kayak, tub, raft.... whatever). Big, beautiful Pandaren lady with stunning plump soles and big toes.


Modem Leolynx:

https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....ission-furbait (C3: sfw, m, macro)
(alt. link): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18138367/

Two nice ones from Modem - one macro bunny paw, and the lovely, lovely feet of Kukulka. Really like how she's splaying them right at you. :3

Some Q&A

(TC) What sort of interest in footpaws do you have (if any - and feel free to explain maybe why you like drawing them)?

(Kashmere) I don't really have any interest in them at all, I'm afraid ^_^

(TC) What type of commentary do you like on your work? What sort of comments do you not like, or don't want (say, creepy comments or whatever)?

(Kashmere) I'm always happy with any kind of comment, as long as they're not rude or inappropriate ^^

(TC) Do you have anything you'd like to personally say to the folks in the Paw-Post?

(Kashmere) Heyhey? (Maybe we can leave this one blank? I have no idea :P)

(TC) Nope... answer is too cute. :P It looks to me like much your art is done traditionally - is that true?

(Kashmere) Yes, all my art is done traditionally ^_^

(TC) How long does a fully detailed picture take you to do ('cause some have some incredible lighting work, which must take ages traditionally)?

(Kashmere) They tend to take about a full day of work depending on the complexity of the drawing (Background, no background,..). I do work on pieces for several days, as I don't always have the time to work on it.

(TC) You are exceptionally good at drawing footpaws - they're always so beautifully detailed out. Is there a favourite sort of paw you like to draw, and why is that?

(Kashmere) Thank you! I can't say I have a favourite tho ^^

(TC) What about characters in general - do you have a particular kind that you're drawn too?

(Kashmere) I always enjoy unusual species although I'm definitely happy doing any species! They're fun in their own way ^^

(TC) Continuing along this "favourite" theme - as an artist, do you have a particular favourite type of theme to draw in a commission?

(Kashmere) I like drawing females and preferably pin-ups!

And there! Better late than never - thanks to Kashmere for the answers and so many well-drawn paws on her characters. Go check out her galleries and enjoy all the gorgeous stuff. Not just paws of course; she has some really beautifully drawn and coloured work. See y'all for Friday's Post!
