Aww, she is really cute and sexy too. Love the dress. Dont be shy girl, you are a beauty.

Glad the connection worked out well! I love those blue shoes...

Thanks! You're the best furry artist-writer match-maker I know, that's for sure. =^_^=

Aw, shucks.

Good one.

[color=red]Mmmmm...She looks Sweet as Ever!! [/color}

Too many women mismatch their undergarments--a damn shame, if you ask me! Glad to see she looks good from head to toe--everything matching her eyes was a good move.

She is as her creator requested, so the credit for her harmonious color-scheme goes to Mr. Costello. =^-^=

Beautiuful work Fio.

Purrr Fio hun your the awesomesauce :D PURrrrrrr hey hun I should let ya try yer paw at my tigress char ;)

Gorgeous kitty, love her outfit, especially the shoes.

I like the eloquent body language, from her shoulders, arms and hands, to her pleasingly-squeezed cleavage and encircling tail. I'm torn between the urge to stare, and the sympathetic desire to offer her a long, concealing coat.

*Sighs, offers her a coat.*

I am Canadian, after all.



By the way, I like as well your very simple yet effective approach to using highlights on long silky lustrous black hair. Nice!


Mark

*smiles* Canadian or not, you are MARK, and the Mark I imagine you to be would never do anything to make a lady uncomfortable.

The way I highlight hair is very stylized - due mostly to a lack of patience, but hey - it works. =^-^'=

Awww, she's cute! *covers her cat's ears* Siamese kitties are the best! =3

SOOOOO CUTE!!

Very nice.

I'll admit, I have a soft spot for Siamese cats and similar breeds, but even with that bias this is still a lovely piece. I especially love the enigmatic expressions that you give them, though in this case she seems to be more mildly annoyed that she's in her undergarments than nonplussed.

Actually, upon closer inspection I can see the expression of a belwildered and shy lady who has found herself in a rather overwhelming and compromising situation. Her eyes and the bangs partially concealing her eyebrows threw me off for a moment, but in a way that makes this piece like the picture that is either of an old woman or a young girl depending on how you look at it. Is Monique shy and bewildered, or is she annoyed and giving you a subtle but nasty glare?

Either way, it's a lovely piece, and the fact that it forced me to stop and consider it more closely makes it even better.

Speaking as both the chap who commissioned this piece, and the author of the story it goes with, I will say that you're not all that far off the mark with a few of your guesses.

Which ones? Ah, but you will have to check the story when it's posted. It will be posted on Spontoon Island in probably a few weeks, once a relevant part of the story arc called "Kocha Koi," co-authored by Walt Reimer, Mitch Marmel and myself, gets put up on the website. Watch for "Chivalry Isn't Dead," which is narrated by Monique.

As noted above, the Spontoon site is: http://spontoon.rootoon.com

I'll definitely have to read that story when it's posted. I'm curious as to which mood Monique is really expressing in the picture.

For the record, by the way, this is the URL for Chapter 1 of Kocha Koi:

http://spontoon.rootoon.com/SPwKoK01.html

I'll probably be finding out soon in which chapter Walt Reimer has put the trigger for "Chivalry Isn't Dead."

I've been responsible on the Spontoon site for a number of detective mysteries starring Inspector Stagg, and I've co-written a number of slapstick romantic comedies with Mitch Marmel starring Reggie Buckhorn and his inamorta Willow Fawnsworthy. There are also some radio scripts on the site, too, with additional characters. For laughs, I recommend "Gross Misconduct" (starring Reggie), "Let's Not Duello on the Subject" (starring Reggie, Willow and a number of other supporting players) and "It's Shot From Guns" (radio script starring Rosie Baumgartner, a chum of Willow's). Detective stuff includes "The Gambit" (Stagg, and a personal fave of mine -- the chess game in there can actually be played) or the intro story for Stagg "The Wolf Without Wings." I'd also recommend Walt's very detailed and long-running serial "Luck of the Dragon" (in which Stagg has shown up on occasion as a supporting player).

Thank you, Aramis. Yes, it seems many people are quite partial to breeds like this. I'm glad you liked the artwork and that it has stirred your interest in the character's situation and story. I too am looking forward to reading about this illustration in context. =^x^=

Here ya go!

She looks fabulous! :D
I love the physics in this pic.

You WOULD, you big pervert! =^-^'=

Hehehe, kidding (but you know it's true).

Well, of course it isn't!

>_>

<_<

I think this confirms it, your Siamese girls are chestier!

mya~ @W@ *nosebleeds* wow she's beautiful! ^W^ great work Fio-chan! >W<

She's so adorably cute!

And though I haven't read the story yet, I'd say that if she's been through a lot of mayhem on the high seas, she's lucky to have THAT much left. XP To say nothing of still having her hair all fixed up. XD

She's like one of those girls in the shampoo commercials on TV. They can fling their head around all over the place and it still falls back into place perfectly. ^-^'

And her lingerie cannot be damaged either! It's...INDESTRUCTOWEAR!

For that "flung hair falling back into place" effect, do they use computer animation? Or good old-fashioned witchcraft?

pretty <3
