nicely done

and I've not heard from James lately, I hope he's doing much better since they replaced his guts

He's more machine than man, now.

we can make him stronger
better
faster

... but we spent all the money on booze and bitches so here he is about the same

LOL. Where have I heard that line before. Hmm. LOL. (Sorry it took 12 years to reply. I just found this drawing today thanks to Ancient Wolf on SoFurry.)

o.o

Star Wars.

Episode 5 if I recall correctly.

It's unfortunate that I didn't find out about Jim Hardiman until several years after his passing. It would have been great to see him make all of his drawings brand new.

I just checked his user page...he's deceased. Don't know when.

Wow!!!Super Cute!!!XD

Cute. Charming. Teasing. Sexy. Very beautiful a work, I like all the details, the braids, the fur... Very good, this is an insta-fav. Great piece of art.

Valencia, the mother of Natasha, Onyx and Lorie.

Jim does post messages to his yahoo group, not too often but he does. Last one I got was Jan. 13, 2009

Love the way her fur came out.

Hooo...although I'm not one who goes for skunks at times, this one has always been my favorate :). Older ladies are underdrawn at times. Especially a honey like Val :)

Beautiful, lovely, stunning, gorgeous, ravishing... um... I ran out. |3

That is a striking tribute picture. You've caught the attitude of the character. Your style complements the portrait.

=] Awsome skunk is awsome

I remember this pic, I wanted it so bad lol
Nice detail, as always.

Just as gorgeous now as when I bought the print off of you years ago. :) Probably my favorite of his creations, she's one gorgeous MILF of a skunk and you capture all of her cute, sexy, mature, sensual and confident features in one pic.

This has been one of my favourite pieces for years now. I don't feel like I could do any sort of description justice concerning how perfect it is.

Nice, I love the hair style ^_^

Yay for skunk rump!

I miss Jim something fierce. The last time I got in contact with him was several years ago, when I'd visited his home in his own portion of south Florida. Among his plans (scuttled for health reasons) was freelance 'air-brushing' one all sorts of vehicles. I saw a sample of his work on a chopper and was impressed by it.

Needless to say, I enjoyed his "Skunkworks" projects and his feminine mephits. I like your interpretation of one of them, DN!

How could anyone miss Val. Hottest skunk MILF on the face of the planet.

I remember seeing this in the 'Skunkworks: Reflections' book. Damned impressive.

Always liked the eyes on this one.

WOW beautiful.

Amazing... Looks fantastic

Val's never looked so good. Amazing

Respect

Wow! Very excellent work!

Pretty...

I remember her from James' comics. She was more of a favorite character of mine than a couple of the other girls. Nice likeness of her.

i dont know what i could write now :) its so brilliant

This was always my favorite picture of her. And after seeing just how well you drew her, I had no choice but to get my butt in gear and improve my own style. So, thanks for the inspiration (and the kick in the butt). Utterly flawless work, as always.

stinker! :D

Do you have any more pics of her?

Drool......

Oooooohhhhhhh .... is there nothing you can not draw??

WOW what a skunk, along with chester ringtail those 2 would make my day

This is by far the most amazing and detailed skunk I have ever seen, absolutely beautiful...

I always thought this was the most outstanding pic in the Skunkworks Reflections book....it was damned impressive in a "How da hell did she do that?!" sorta way....well done!!

Oh, is so sexy an dvery cute.

Very nice!! :D

I would not lie here if I say, that this piece of art brought me to the fandom. Thank you DarkNatasha and lovely work :) And how we can not like skunks?

lovely skunkette.

She looks gorgeous, but your style added s'moar "mommyness" to her.

I know what you mean. I so what to be fussed over and affectionately doted on by this version of her.

I love this pic. One of the best pics darknatasha has done imo

Sexy naked anthro skunk butt.
