Title refers to Aura's sometimes smug attitude towards people, but actually she's a big softy.

Did the sketch for this quite some time ago but never got around to doing anything more with it till today.

Personally I'm quite proud of how this turned out if only for the fact it features the main things I'm not good at. Perspective, correct anatomy, anthros, hands and feet, clothing, and as an unplanned after thought, shading.

Which brings me to my question: does the shading look correct? The light source is meant to be coming from the left and while 'messy' hopefully the shading is in all the right places. Not sure yet if I will keep this shading style but I might.

So happy that I was able to fix a driver issue with my trusty little Wacom. Seems to have better response to pen pressure which seems to have made this work a lot easier.

Anyway, enjoy! Constructive feedback is most welcome!
