What a fluffy fuckin' picture. Inspiration for the outfit and fluffy bits can be attributed to the wonderfully talented Olivia de Berardinis: http://www.eolivia.com/Scripts/artgallery.asp who had an awesome 6 pages dedicated to her in last months ImagineFX: http://www.imaginefx.com/ and who is also regularly featured in Playboy (a magazine I probably don't need to link to).
Also this started out as an idea for a special FWA print but I didn't have it done in time so...didn't happen. But I finally caught a break from my workload so I decided to finish it off. And if anybody says "why ain't you workin' on yer commissions?" well, I've sketched 9/13 commissions and am redoing the 10th. So no lip. Also this semester was a ball buster: I've filled over 1,000 pages with drawings for just one class, and am working on probably the biggest project of my life (more on that in June). I'll upload the commission sketches later this weekend because there are some really cool ones that, when the color gets applied, are just gonna rock.
Anyhow, I'm talking way more than I like to. Enjoy the fluffy girl, there will be more of her later.
Peace,
Boneitis

The very first thing I noticed on this one was the nice shading you pulled off on the scarf. I'm really impressed at how it has no hard defined border but at the same time lets you follow the curves with ease. On top of that the ears are well done. They have a really nice balance of soft short fur and that longer fur you seem to avoid like the plague(though I do agree that if the whole of her fur was that texture it would be....odd).
And just below the ears is the awesome facial expression you managed. Its fantastic how full of depth and personality her face is, and the way shes looking straight at you does something for the piece all on its own. I'm not totally sure what that something might be but it makes me think the pictures analyzing me just as much I am it.
The really strange thing is that despite all the good things about her face, I think it might be one of my least favorite from you (not to say it isn't good, just not my taste I suppose). I really cant get past her muzzle and how curved it is. It makes for some awesome shadows, but it almost looks crooked. And btw, when your drawing, do you think about where the shadows will be while you draw, or do you wait to finish the hard outline before darkening those spaces appropriate???
Finally, my last peeve is her right hand. For all your muscular and well rounded women, her hand looks surprisingly bony and it does something to almost betray an age to her. Mostly I think it's how the top of her fingers are concave as opposed to beveled out.
All in all though its a very unique and nice piece. It does justice to Olivia in my mind.

Oh and BTW, save your 1000 pages from whatever class it was (I'm assuming speed sketching, but we all know what assuming does). Those sorts of things tend to be the money makes once people want to own you for your name and not so much the paintings. And seeing as how so much of your final product is digital, it makes it all the better if people can know that it was your hand with your pen that made the drawings on the page.
The scarf was fun, never really gotten to paint anything quite like it, glad you like her ears too; I thought they had some neat depth along with the fun face. As for it being your least favorite face; that's an interesting remark as my peers over on my side thought it was really great. I'll chalk this one up to personal tastes on both ends.
As for your shading question, I usually draw it first, then think about shadows once I ink (hence the thicker and thinner lines). And yeah her right hand is a bit lame, I didn't notice that....fuck. The joints are too damn pointy. Figures I drew this *after* the assignment where I drew 216 hands...
Also, in regards to physical art, I do keep most of my original sketches that become digital paintings. I'm just not sure if I can sell them because some of them have gotten so ratty in my constantly-being-transported-across-the-country sketchbooks. Maybe people won't care???
