This is a Gaia commission I did for Tobo27. The task was to genderbend his pregnant avatar. I think I did a pretty good job capturing his actual personality. His fursona is a red panda.

Recently, I came across  Antar-dragon who does awesome scaly work in black and white. He was kind enough to post the Event file for one of his works a little while ago, and from that I learned a lot about saturation and shading. For this I used that information for the shading and coloured the base on a different layer. I'm very happy with the result and I will likely continue drawing like this. Eventually, I will break away from lined artwork, but for this one I thought it was best to keep the lines.

I'd link you to the actual Event file, but he took it down already.

Time: 3 hours
Used: Open Canvas 1.1 and 4.5, Intuos Tablet
