I'm obsessed with the idea of putting henna on anthro characters, even though it would utterly impossible. Dream the impossible dream with me!
Trying to test my boundaries with traditional color. I'd like to occasionally create pieces that are more 'vibrant' than 'real'. Realism gets totally boring and mind-numbing when you've been striving for it forever. Sometimes I just want to slosh color down.

The day i hate you will also be the day the Earth explodes :P Or the day you start pricing what your art is actually worth, because that will be the day i wouldnt be able to afford anything of yours!
And also, you said on Patreon that this was suppose to be Ahsan. If that is till true, shouldn't the keyword be Hyena not Aardwolf?

There is a way to put permanent "tattoos" on furred animals. Check out this picture in my gallery for details

I'm quite a fan of the concept, too.
One thing however?
The lines of any tatt., even if it's not permanent (as with Henna), will have to abide by the curves and angles of the character they're put on, and then any expression or posture that would apply muscles moving underneath.
Can't imagine the pain in the butt that would be, but maybe someday I'll venture into that and see.

Hmm. Henna on fur might be possible if it was specially made to be thicker and nearly like a puffy paint sort of deal. Something that mats the fur together in those areas while the dye lasts so that the pattern wouldn't mar with fur movement. Dunno. Looks good either way though. :)
it's possible to dye your hair with henna/indigo I even did it once. The product I used was very brittle and muddy in consistence, but it was just ground plants without any additives. I'm sure someone in your universe would be able to invent a henna/indigo paste that is easier to apply and has the right consistence to paint these pretty patterns on hair :3
Why impossible? From what I saw of henna it comes out in a thick paste that you apply to the skin. I thought it looked rather like puff paint. Then that stuff flakes off leaving the skin dyed. Same could work with fur I always thought, and since fur doesn't grow out, just sheds and is replaced the pattern would last longer than say dying your hair, eventually it'd need to be redone but not right away.
First off, this is amazing. I love all the henna patterns. That is also quite the earring. You really should do more things like this, colorful things.
As for Henna on fur, I don't see why it wouldn't work. Henna is a dye and has been used as a hair dye for a number of years. I know it is used in the Middle East to dye beards since at least the time of Mohammed. I imagine it would work quite well on fur.

It's absolutely possible! Henna (and all other dye-based colors) can absolutely stain hairs. One would just have to brush the fur very well to one direction and then apply the dye as a paste (like henna) such that it can stay localized to one spot long enough for the dye to settle into the fibers.
