It's not that complicated. Just walk over, grab the hat by the pom-pom and pull it off.

Unfortunately, The outer quills have barbs on them, which is why they are so difficult to remove. :8 (

IIRC, the barbs only "fully deploy" when moistened (say by fluids in the body they have pierced). Would they really cause that much trouble with the hat?

Depends on the species... The common North American Porcupine has barbs that are there already. Native Americans used to harvest Quills by throwing a blanket of the poor beast, and then pulling the quills through after the animal ran off. The barbs, however, stick out more when you try to pull the quill out. (OUCH) This is why its so bad when a dog gets a face full of quills. Fortunately, Porcupines are not very aggressive, and my one encounter with one uneventful. ^_^

You can ask her to pull it herself, hehe >w<

just a suggestion.

I'm for that idea. Maybe not as much of a challenge to get it if he picks it out himself, but it works.

Yup, agree to that^^

-MIGHT- be a "bit" tricky seeing how those quills are coming through.

How'd she get the head band on?

a knot at the back of her head most likely

Ahh... the perils of playing with porcupines.

Maybe these two can become your next Sabrina and RC.

*giggles* Their expressions are perfect!!!

Very carefully.

That's just asking for trouble

so cute!

Cute, funny and makes me glad that I only have spikes on my back and arms...Also Merry Christmas !

Nice to see a spikey type that isn't just a bit of spined hair, but the proper full body look.

damn it. you beat me again. I was going to do something like this with Tanya for a FAD Xmas picture

What stopped you? You have more than enough talent to pull that off.

never said I didn't try https://www.furaffinity.net/view/25871770/

just saying he beat me in posting his before mine


just like the "MILF and Nookies" Xmas pic several yeas ago (Shiela Vixen vs Rebecca Cunningham)

I sit corrected, my apologies.

I can see anthro porcupines becoming special forces soldiers. They don't need weapons, just throw themselves at their target.

Hey cool, new characters.

Neat, this is the second time I suggested Kevlar this week...or third if you count my coworker, actually fourth if you count my scumbag neighbor that watches from the garage all day/everyday.

Edit: Just kidding, I wouldn't suggest that for the neighbor.

Well if her santa hat doesn't work, she can always wear those xmas balls over her quills? XD

These two look like a cute pairing. Looking forward to future stories with them.

You have a female porcupine character!? That's awesome! I can't wait to see pieces and comics with her in the future.

Nice drawing. Merry Christmas.

Not enough porcupines in the furryverse.

They're cool characters. I already like them!

Cute couple!

Funny you post this. I'm trying to work out a female porcupine character for a spin-off work. The idea came from Ash from the 2016 movie Sing.

Speaking of which, was Holly influenced by that character?

С Рождеством, Новым Годом, Ханукой, и Первомаем! :)

Who created Holly and Doug?

Eric

I like these two :) they're a very sweet couple :)

its really cute to see such an adorable character with a guy i definitely identify with XD! you can tell he really likes her :) <3

Hehe, why i'm thinking about this will happen next:

"911 - whats the emergency?"
"My husband has lot of quills in his arm."
"How many?"
"I... i dont know... maybe... 50?"
"Youre kidding, right? What exactly happened?"
"I'm a porcupine..."
"Oh... i see... Whats your adress, i'm sending an ambulance."

Those two truly fit together. She's beautiful and he is handsome, in a horribly honest sort of way.

One little question that came to my mind recently: Doug's parents are a very tall wolf and a normal (if not short) heighted vixen. Doug himself is tall, but not as tall as his dad. In Sabrina Online, Thomas Woolfe's parents are a very tall dad and a vixen too. So, is Doug actually Thomas' brother or it's just a coincidence?

Oops, forget it. Doug's mom's not a vixen. Looks more like a husky, so he's not Thomas's brother.
