The Ancient Art Archive #4: Tanya in Winter (1999)
(AAA folder)
See this journal for an overview of the AAA series.
Somewhere around the turn of the century I compiled a set of drawings of my OC roster in winter-themed outfits reflecting more-or less current fashions of the time, in this case Tanya is modeling a North Face down jacket, boot-cut jeans (kinda like very mild bell-bottoms), and your standard 6" Timberland boots. This is the same pic that served as the basis of 2008's Tanya - 1999 Style (339), in which I colored the character and added a backdrop.
Technical:
--This mini-project pre-dates the existence of FurAffinity, but it did not get posted to VCL AFAICT. Now that I've located the originals for the entire series, it appears they were all penciled in mid-late December 1999, and inked either very close to or just after New Year's Day 2000. All of these were drawn on half-sheets of legal-size copy paper, suggesting that I was trying to use up some oddball stock of these sheets. This particular sheet also had Cynthia on the other end, so I scanned and processed both to upload together, prior to the next installment of 'What, me Furry?.
--Interestingly enough, I had the forethought to put completion dates on all of these, years before I imagined doing so would be useful.
--All of the existing female characters got similar portraits, and after I ran across the original drawings last week, they went to the head of the line for inclusion in the 'Archive'.
Pencil on copy paper inked with Rapidiograph pens, then re-shaded with pencil. Composited using Micrografx Picture Publisher 10. Project ID# 497
