Very cute, well done!

you're just a regular watercolor machine aren't you ^^; Brushpen used for
her stripes? what kind, i used to use a micron brush pen...was great but wore out...fast. ^^

colored pencils this time ^.^

And the brushpen I got is a Pentel pocket brush pen - I've only had it for a little while, but its really nice... its got real bristles instead of a felt tip, and its refillable. The brushpen was used for most of the outlining of the character, but the stripes are colored pencil.

ah koolios. I'll have to look into that as well ;)

Micron and brush pen? What's the difference when you work with both? I assume you can get the same amount of control and line thickness (size) with either or right?

actually the micron and the brush pen are really different. i have less control over the brushpen, and it has a variable thickness - it can get very thick or very thin, while the micron is a very thin technical pen (.005 micron) which only has one possible line thickness unless you go over the same line more than once, and therefore I have greater control with it. So for most of the lines I used the brushpen, but I used the micron for the very delicate lines that I needed more control for (such as the linings and frogs on the dress, and the pawpads on her hands) Working with both gives me the freedom and expression of working with the brushtip, as well as the fine control of the micron, for using each where I feel I need it most.

so basically brush pen can be used for detail just not as extreme details like extra fine lines but rather the .005 micron can do that?


they are frogs?

that is correct...

And by 'frogs' i mean the fastenings on the dress... thats what those are called, for some reason.

wow...and i thought the word "pee-chee" was weird! Thank you so much for the art advice!

This is an awsome pic and tigers are one of my favorite felines.

So beautiful...yet DEADLY! Love it. You touch pencil to paper and magic happens, and every time I am grateful you have decided to share so much of it with us lowly peons of the internet.

Keep up the awesome work.

looks really good :) totally love her stance :D though i am mesmerized by a cirten spot on her clothes :P

lol spell fail :P

Looks great! The media adds to the Far Eastern effect. Not to mention the background!

this is sooo excelent in the use of brushpen, micron pen, and prismacolor colored pencils i hardly can tell you used them mediums.....

Love it!

Wish I could wield a staff like that Hot -damn- she looks good. I love females with power.

I love the shade of green!

Nice, I like the dynamics you've got in this piece!

Mei Ling, remember the catchphrase from the three musketeers, "One for all and all for one?" You have to be careful out there, because your enemies will surround you once they gather that you're a skilled warrior. Take care to use the environment to your advantage, not to mention keeping your focus off one or two people. Honor is not always something our people live by.

In other news, too much Metal Gear can rot your brain.

Try watch Iron Man 2, one woman can take care of herself as she taken at least 20 guards down while guy (driver) only successful taken one guy down.

I wouldn't be surprised if this tiger could do the same. A good staff and the right hand-to-hand skills can go a -very- long way.

And some physical moves too. But seriously, that woman can take down that many with such little bit of moves.

"Mei Ling"... Now I'm gonna have Metal Gear stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

Beautifully drawn, Kacey! I really like to see you "experimenting" with various styles. You always draw such beautiful ladies, especially with weapons... Really wish I could see it in person.

I wasn't aware that Mei Ling was someone from Metal Gear.. I named her that for a completely different reason ^.^

I was trying to think of a Chinese name... and I was reminded of my dad having wanted to name my older sister Mei Ling - but my parents decided not to. I always thought it was a nice name though, and I think some people call her that anyway. Coincidentally, as of 2 minutes ago, it is her 30th birthday. Thats also why she was on my mind.

She's essentially the main character's support team, and she's actually a very likeable character.
Also, Mei Ling is a very nice name, and it doesn't seem to be used very often. Glad someone likes chinese names =)

Great to hear that it's your sister's birthday, by the way! ^^

How about give her "Nickname" in respect? I ever have "Frederick Alexander Burnsworth" as my Penpal name.

So beautiful

Simply.
Frickin'.
Gorgeous.

The texture of the paper really added to this piece.

Very well done!

Neat

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I love the texture here.

love the colors and I really love the movement of her hair. The clouds!! love those! Simply a wonderful piece!

Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous

I definitely would love to spar with her. I love that dress of hers too *wants one like that BADLY*.

I must admit that my eyes keep gazing at her chest... she's got quite a large rack under that dress. Will we be seeing more of her?

I think I'm going to just give up and go favorite your whole gallery. Everything you do, this last couple of weeks especially, is just amazing.

Absolutely amazin work.

Kacey, I beg you... you have drawn every wild cat (serval, tiger, cheetah) but a leopard... I beg you... draw a female leopard...

I will keep that in mind ^.^ I need to draw some non-felines for the show, though - I've realized I focus a lot on felines so I need to do other species too - haha. I am working on an otter girl now.

Yay! =^_^= And about other species how about a mare, or female raccoon?

WHERE DID YOU GET SUCH TALENT

Seriously, every damn thing in your gallery: the backgrounds, anatomy, attention to detail....just...wow

I think you're one of the few anthro artists I'd actually like to meet in person.

Well, she looks like she's prepared for almost anything!
(though I wonder about the practicality of the outfit she's wearing. I do realise that it's appropriate for her era and ethnicity, but if she flipped upside down... >.> Let's just say I hope she's wearing something else under there <.<)

You know she'll always land on her feet

*swoon-dies*

Man, but that's drop-dead GORGEOUS shading and texturing! You sure know how to use a paper's tooth!

I love the Okami-esque background, like a traditional painting ^_^

You seem to be on quite the art spree, something new almost every day :)

Yet another superb piece! :)

I would ask if this would be in sale at some point, but given that I'm currently in rehab right now, and just the general incredibly superb quality of your works in general, I doubt I'd be able to afford it without refinancing the car. And I like my car.

Neat texture qualities.

so adorable! :D

Wow I like the colors and the coloring the paper used adds alot to it really

Ninja Panda, anyone?

awesome pure epicness. i love the background.

Holy crap this is amazing

Wow.... This is really amazing work!

I wonder if the Monkey King knows someone's using his staff. =P

Very lovely. The colored pencils make it unique looking.

She's beautiful, Kacey.

Der erste, der Polt kennt und diesen Kommentar liest, wird ein guter Freund von mir werden.

hehe, she reminds me of my own Mei-Ling :p

Very very nice! I love the pose.

This is beautiful.

such big boobs would be eventually a disadvantage in the battle.... however my pervy mind approves it ... LOL *faves it*

I love how the yellow and green colors swirl right into each other, and the back texture of the paper, make this so interesting to look at, fantastic work!~

Very well done! ^.w.^

That is art worth of being in a museum

Great and awesome.

why, oh why, do you have to be so damn good.

very pretty.. she looks lethal too mrew :3

Awesome hair!

Gorgeous, and I love the textured paper.

*fav* *save*

I read Mei Ling, and Metal Gear Solid came too mind. Argh. But it's a very well done, picture. I like the colors you used.

Woo looks like the Bo Staff, I love the Bo Staff!

Lovely Tigress

I had a dream like this.... many time *He blushes*

I love the Qi-Pao!

Very awesome.^^ Reminds me of the theme from RCFM.

in waaay after Metal Gear jokes

It is at this point that I begin to run out of ways to compliment your work.

all around epic. especially the hair. the hair makes epicness happen.

Love the coloring!

*pouts*
I want a cheongsam so bad, a full length one, royal purple, with sliver patterns.


*smiles*
But a very nice drawing hun.

just curious, but why is her hair moving but her dress isnt? excellent piece ;3

I hope she is enjoying her year ^_^

She is beautiful, I love the flowing hair.

I love how this technique turned out, the contrast between the green penciling and the tan background is beautiful.

Mmm... that's the best female outfit ever!

Mei Ling... same name as Crane's friend in Secrets of the Furious Five. Though she was a spotted leopard, I think...

Your artistic prowess knows no limits. She's very symmetrical and outstanding.

Awesome!

The colors are what I love the most about this <3 very well done kacey

Your pretty good at drawing. This drawing of a tiger ninja girl is really good. And your fox princess drawing was really good too.

Beautiful.

Wow, this rocks. Lovely character and setting AND colors. You're now an art god by my standards. :3

This is awesome, you should experiment more!! (So should I! ^^;;;)

Thank you =D And yeah, I should, Experimenting with this was a lot of fun. I need to try out different media and techniques to keep things interesting.

A tiger with a canine muzzle and ears? Dammit, a lot people seem to miss those details.

Though... I am very precise. And I tend to look at details.

Nice tigress

OHHH MY GOOODD!!!!! SHE IS AMAZING AND SOO HOOOOT!
