I decided to finally get around to making fanart of the character that eventually got me into being a furry, a very old original character named Aria by the artist Ryoichi Ito, also known as Ryou.

I had learned of this character vicariously through an old interest I had in garage kit models from Japan, and after ten years I finally felt like taking a crack at drawing her myself in my attempt at Ryou's old art style from the 00's and basing her pose on one of his models of her; Apparently I couldn't have picked a better time to do so as well, since when looking up his website it turns out his birthday's only in a couple of days from the day I'm posting this. Happy early birthday from a longtime fan, Ito-Sama! <3
