N:B As a future reminder to myself- make sure to have time before starting on a new reference
Since Noire is a creature of imagination, she's bound to be changed every now and then. Mephisto (her tail beastie) is exactly the same- The biggest alterations to Noire are the collar/mane fur, the bustle/tail fluff, and she now has bangs! I've also simplified the stripes on her ears and horns, her face is more narrow, the mohawk is more fluffy and messy, changed her back stripes to come from her mane (plus a couple stripes in her collar fur), black nails, and a smudged makeup look. Personally, I'm really happy with the changes, and I know I'll have more fun drawing her now (:
I know, tl;dr! The most important things are covered on the reference itself. Since Noire's first birthday is coming up in July (and I'm notorious for never keeping a character longer than a few months), she was due for a little revamp!

this must happen. it's funny because the same base for this type would probably work well for a crystacian monster mask too hehheh :D I will let you know when I can get my bf's parents to let me set up my stuff. :/ I have a sculpt I am working on right now that just needs to be casted with silicone. then I have to do a long snouted dragon shape, I should do the other scaled dragon head too. but I do all of them really fast :)
the most I would need from you is for the fur luls.

http://www.distinctivefabric.com/ that's where I like to get fur from :) they're really awesome. and they have good selections!!!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Soft-fleece.....item35a84ad680 the purple from there.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Solid-fleec.....item35a974ad1f this for white face stuff and inside ears :)
there's some monkey shag fur in the distingtive fabric site. I have some now for another mask I'm doing. the white stuff would be great for your neck area!
for the hair the easiest thing to do is to get wigs. I can't find any wigs as floofy and thick as this characters but maybe if we get like, idk 3 or 4 wigs haha I can cut the hair off of them and
arrange them and spray them to be how you would want??
wigs are SUPER CHEAP not like buying small strands of crepe hair :/ this wig looks fantastic. and it's fiber hair not plastic!!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/KW241-Long-.....item35b5025691
I might just purchase large follow eyes from another supplier on here since I don't currently have a way to make them :/

Really really neat character and definitely creative, which is what I love to see on here! Soooo much generic stuff T_T
However, I must point this out since it seem no one else did and being me I notice the tiniest things...lmao.
(which is why it takes me so long with my own art, picky picky)
But did you notice that her tongue is only violet on this ref and that the motled pink looks like its actually been moved onto her chest area as if the layer was carried away from where it should be?? lol not trying to be a dick or anything, but I just barely noticed it while looking and wondered if you did it on purpose?
Still, awesome character....loooove the tail.

Thank you! I see you're a fellow stripe fan, I really enjoy Trigger's design :)
You have a better eye than I for catching that XD I must've grouped that headshot to move it and not noticed I hadn't included the pink layer, you're totally right. I always thought it was just tough to see in this image because it's so small.. suddenly makes sense now!
