Pretty damn good work!

I like the fur detail~

great work :o

wow if you wouldnt have told me I would have guessed its digital art :O amazing

I can see why Stormrage won't wake up.

I smiled at that. :3

Wow! just wow! this looks beautiful!

''This is mostly marker with a little acrylic'' ya mean this aint digital O___O !?

*drops jaw* i am quit literally at awe over this :O

i dont know what to say but, girl ya got some serious skill

Gorgeous work.

Set her free!

I wonder if you've ever tired bondage?

Wow, you are a master of markers. More power to you, don't give in to the digital side *fistshake* This is amazing. Makes me feel good for standing up for traditional art.

Well, I do digital art from time to time as well, and I really enjoy doing it. But there is indeed something very special about being able to hold the original of a piece. Unfortunately, traditional art is also more difficult/time consuming. XD

The way you do it I don't doubt. Digital takes me longer though, my tablet is suckful. I can't sketch very well with it; can't accustom myself with the different hand-eye co-ordination to SEEING the pen make the mark. *Shrugs*

I hear that this is less of an issue with tablet monitors and tablet laptops. I amd wanting one for the very reasons why you have a hard time.

Yeah, if I was gonna go over to the digital side I would have to have one of those. Much more suitable to how I draw naturally. Thing is, they cost an arm and a leg *eyetwitch* It would pay for itself over hundreds of times given the saddening popularity of digitally rendered artwork, but the initial funding would be impossible to get together, aye?

Oh I agree, but paying attention to a local craigslist or even ebay might yield a prime pieces of hardware. So keep your eyes peeled and maybe you will stumble on one. :)

And yes, you need to spend money to make money. It's sad, but it's quite true.

It takes a while to get used to, but eventually it becomes a non-issue. I started out doing digital art with a mouse (which is absolutely not as impossible as people seem to think) and now I have a small intuos tablet. The part where digital art becomes a lot simpler and easier is with the use of things such as flood fills, layers, undos, etc. Traditional art simply doesn't offer such time saving luxuries, boo! :P

Thats why I prefer traditional, actually. It's more unyielding, which sorta proves that a flawless piece of traditionally rendered art, such as this one, requires far, far more skill and care to make than a flawless piece of digital art.

Very sexy.

Good work!
Nice and sexy kitty)))

I want your coloring skillsssss.

Or at least, access to the materials you have.

Whatcha talking about, your coloring is amazing! :O

I try, but am hampered by kiddie grade color pencils that are... quite neon-y, when scanned. I cannot reach your level of softness unless I color really really really lightly, or cheat by adjusting levels in Photoshop.

Grrreen :D
Awesome job on coloring!!! Even Loupgarou love it XD (see above ;)

Wooow! This is such an incredibly beautiful piece!
All the soft greens are wonderful, and I'm loving how you rendered the fur on her tail and all the fabric details in the curtains. I'm sure this will sell for a handsome price!

This is gorgeous! Your work with fabrics and detail always reminds me of John Singer Sargent for some reason ♥

very beautiful! ^_^

Lol, I did a piece similar to this one ( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1259377/ )...but it pales in comparison. XDD Absolutely beautiful! I love what you did with the fabric!

If you tell me you are an illustrator I'll buy it

What do you mean?

Buy, believe.

Well, yes, I'm just not sure what my labeling myself as an illustrator or not has to do with anything. :P

I dunno either. D: I think he means he's impressed.

Beautiful work. Going to be offering prints?

Thank you! And yes, I offer prints of almost everything in my gallery.

This is amazing, as much for the curtains in the background as for the beauty that's chained in front. I love the slight cocking of her hip due to the raised leg. Excellent work.

Ohh I love your soft colouring!
Not sure if this was intentional but I love the contrast of this soft background of curtains/pillows with a soft looking characters then it really draws your eyes to the chains and restraints.
Amazing work as always :)

check out that FIG LEAF! very well done, btw. the drapery is amazing. bet that took some time.

Mastered the art of the tease much? This is awesome, got a tasteful, pretty flow to it. ^_^

As first time i thought it's a digital art. You did a great work with lights and all with color pencils!

It's markers and a little bit of paint, actually. But thank you! :)

What do you do for such soft lines? Do you only use pencil and just do a light sketch and then colour it?

It is indeed just pencil, but not really light lines. They just have to be very crisp and precise. If you make the lineart too light it will disappear once you start going over it with markers, and this is especially a problem in the areas such as the background, where a lot of little lines will get overlapped with large expanses of the same color.

As you can imagine, not smudging it all to hell also becomes a concern. XD

Do you just get it right with your sketch the first time, or do you trace a 'clean' sketch?

Sorry for all the questions, I just love learning how people do things!

I sketch lightly, then as I go and refine the lines I erase the ones that shouldn't be there. This is still much faster than transferring sketches, and my paper is too think for direct lightbox tracing, usually. And no problem about questions, I enjoy answering precise technique questions (as opposed to "teach me how to draw" broad requests, heh)

Oh, I see! Do you use a specific eraser? I've been using a kneadable eraser but it doesn't.. erase very well. It's not normally a problem since I usually scan the sketch and then do the rest digitally, but...

I find it interesting because I know a watercolour artist who has soft, thin lines like yours, but when I asked her how she did it, she told me she used a really thin pen. I think your way seems more practical!

Papermate eraser stick! Worker of miracles!
I love kneaded erasers for big erasing jobs (as in I fucked up so bad I'm erasing the whole thing) because they don't leave any eraser droppings, but they are absolutely useless for detail erasing jobs. The stick is like a mechanical pencil holder, except it holds a thin white eraser. It's really nice and doesn't leave any funny marks on the paper.

Oh! I've seen those, I might even have some stashed away somewhere...

Thank you for all the tips!!

They also have battery powered erasers that I have seen unimaginable levels of details. Though, they aren't as affordable as the erasers that she's talking about. XD

wow, really? I always thought kneaded erasers were for lifting pigment when coloring(or rendering in general), and not so much for erasing large surfaces(as opposed to http://www.utrechtart.com/images/pr.....eraser2_lg.jpg) unless you wanted to lift a bit of your pencil lines to lighten them. At least, thats what they tought us in school.

Tuff Stuff erasers are super awesome!

If your initial sketches are light like mine it works great and doesn't leave a mess. Just cause it's meant to be used for one thing doesn't mean it can't be used for another! ;) (actually I wasn't aware that they had a specific purpose to begin with, I always thought it was just another eraser XD)

lol yeah, of course.

sorry to butt in. XD
Kneaded erasers are generally used to lift pigment. I use mine when I apply too much colored pencil to an area, then i Just dab the eraser in it and it lightens it.
You can erase with it, but its nto really made for erasing huge surfaces.

Beautiful lady there ^_^

It never ceases to amaze me how well you do fur markings. The pattern is amazing...
Thank you for sharing. :-3

oooh, she's very pretty!

OOOOOoooooohhhhhmyyyyyyy!

Please price this one cheap so I can have a crack at winning it

Hehe, it's no prob, I always give very reasonable prices to my art show art and hope for the best in the form of multiple bidding. Sometimes it's better, sometimes disappointing, but it always evens out overall and leaves me with no art to drag back home. :)

Now who would want to chain up a beauty like this?

An absolutely stunning picture! Kinda reminds me of the illustration you did for X. :3

a very beautiful job Shin, it would be amazing to commission you sometime. the amount of detail you use is breathtaking. a very clean and tasteful piece here, and i adore her expression, very sensual and alluring, watchful yet inviting.
lovely job once more. it would be great to own a bit of your work sometime in the near future by winning or snagging a slot.
*Tanek*

My goodness that almost looks real.
Especially the tail.

This is utterly gorgeous. I love how light and airy the room she's in looks. It gives the whole thing such a feeling of warmth and comfort, in spite of all the cool greens, and it really shows off all the folds in the cloth very nicely. She's a lovely girl, too. I really like the how coy and teasing she looks, and how inviting and open her expression is. Harem pictures often make me a little bit uncomfortable, because of how often the idea is conflated with slavery. But this seems more like a fantasy that she is sharing, or something that she is at least a willing partner in. And that really makes a huge difference.

[7:35:51 PM] Jax: and I repeat
[7:35:54 PM] Jax: oh, well, damn
My first reaction.

Just jaw dropping ._.

Very beautiful! I love the colors, and of course, snowleopard

I really like the cool shadows that you used, and in the background how it fades from orange to blue/purple, and the reflected color from the yellow pillows onto the green ones...

Absolutely lovely!

well this turned out badass and a half :D

*purrrrrr*

Wow! Very nice! Is she for sale?

Yes, but I am taking her to the Anthrocon art show for bidding (unless I get an offer I can't refuse, heh). If you want to bid but are not going, you could always arrange proxy bidding with a friend of yours who will be there.

Ah, sorry. I meant it as a "subject matter" comment, i.e. in character as if she were at a slave auction. Although there have been occasions in the past where someone posted a picture I would love to have bid on for sale at a convention I wasn't attending.

Hehe, I see, then yes and yes! ;P

Snow leopard....sexyness...with chains...and wooow~ Traditional skills are something to hold onto, forever.

She seems playful

Awesome job. I love her tail.....fluffy!!!! ^_^

Wow, look at all the details. And she is so lovely

Gorgeous

Hawtness overload!

Because bondage makes everything better.

LOVE the green curtains and background. Also, that tail is extremely eye catching with the way you accentuated the markings and changes in pattern.

I really, really like the way everything about the picture draws your eye to her beautiful face. I also love the texture of her fur, she's gorgeous.

I really love pics like this, sexy and cute, but also censored only enough to so hot it stings! *faved*

You keep surpassing your artistic genius with such flying colors...I jsut cant comprehend it

I love that you love green!
Artists so rarely use it, and it looks soooo good!

No way, girl! You're amazing! I adore that green colour of the drapery in the background.. I wish my walls were that colour! Okay, honestly i wish they were a shade of blue, but that pale green's still a lovely colour, and it goes so well with the cool shadows of your snow leopardess. The brushstrokes are so smooth, i utterly thought this was digital from the thumbnail. I'm sorry i will miss AC this year, as i'd love to see this piece, and you again! Her fur detail is delicious :)

Thank you hon! And aww, I hope you can make it next year, I enjoyed meeting you! <3

f***ing awesome, really! I love your art since I was a child (I started watching anthro at 13), and of all the artist that i saw (that are a lot, i swear) you are really the best one! :) just go on like this; your art makes me proud to be an anthro drawer (a really bad one, but at least a drawer)! ;)

It's amazing! Shingami, on your drawing she looks like a queen. It's very beautiful drawing both in technical and emotional part.

Oh my! Wonderful work here dear. And such a lovely subject as well. *bows with complete respect*

I'm no druid, but she'd definitely be an emerald dream for me!

mh, nice snowleopardness *murr* I like it

Congrats! I heard the original for this sold for over $300 at live auction.

It was exactly 300, and thank you! :)

Wow..Lovely detail on the fur but I also how you did the drapery looks wonderful.

Very nice, beautiful work on the drapes :D

Soft texture, pleasint subject, and the greens are easy on the eyes. Thumbs up.

wow
i like this

Permission to ask a question...

What type of Harem is she part of?, Is she treated fairly?

Also, Why is the word "Princess"

Sorry for asking, I'm a staunch Abolitionist...

There's no big story behind this, basically just a picture, so you can make up your own. I just had a cool captured princess piece in mind. She doesn't look unhappy. :)

Personally, I think she needs to be liberated...

This is no way to treat a lady, Especially a princess...

Her captors had better hide, Cause they just signed their own warrants!...*Swings Nunchucks and howls like Bruce Lee*

Dammit, I am so behind commenting on stuff... >_< Even if I don't do it that often.

For some reason this is one piece of yours that sticks out to me no matter how often I see it. I think I just love your Snowleopard pieces in general... Here it's the contrast of the warm grey fur and cool green, the light greens in general that I associate with jade (which - smong other things - is after all the stone of beauty ^^).

I simply adore the way you draw hair like this and your patience for the chains is just to envy.

beautiful!! truly a dream gem!!

Those chains are beautifully done! As is the girl, of course. XD

Why are my dreams always full of incomprehensible nonsense instead of nude, chained ladies like this?
