"You see it all the time on furry websites, chat clients and Second Life. Perfectly sculpted bodies, thin-but-muscular or slim-yet-curvy builds, impossible body types. That NONE of us have in real life. If we do, we're in the vast minority.

So I challenge you, FA. Take a photo of yourself, fully clothed or in your skivvies. Trace your body type and marks exactly, blemishes, scars and all. Then apply your character to the form. Let's see what the REAL face of FA is."

Yeah yeah, I got sucked into this meme too >.>

This is why I don't do digital stuff yet, lawlz. More has to do with my awesome old tablet and Photoshop Elements 2.0, but hey, I'm working on that ;)

Reference picture is actually one of me in fursuit. But yarr, I ain't skinny. That's why I usually try to draw Rhumi with some meat. I didn't mark the scars, but to be completely correct, she'd have two little puncture scars on her right knee (where I've had surgery), a bigger scar on the side of that knee, and various other little knicks and scratches from over the years.
