Lord Tad (a nickname no one dares call him) is more than a bit depressed by by being forced into marriage to Lady Purloin, and so, already somewhat into his cups attempts to get his ex-mistress/Major-Domo to join him in a toast to the possible nuptuals.
She broke-off with him nearly a year ago so that he would find a socially acceptable wife - some Lady or Baroness. It hasn't been easy for either of them...
What will happen? Shame to waste a nice bottle of sparkling wine like that...Maybe for old time's sake...Oh, dear...
This complicated and Willa hasn't arrived at the castle yet...
Pic from around nine years ago..?
Sakura pens, approx 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches
The finer pen lines are lost here. :( The upper right background stayed unfinished untill a few months ago when i returned to doing traditional media.
Minimal Digital editing: i messed-up the bottom of the bottle a bit, reworked about a quarter of it. Removed cheek line from Tad's expression - it made him look smarmy, when in fact he's sad - he wants to get back together with her...So what if the shire is in debt? So what if they can't officially wed...
Sorry about large file size - fine line work does not sit well in the digi world - it can't be compressed by algorithms, the current size of pixels don't do it justice, etc etc.

You *are* good at detailing! So let's drop that.
Hee, if you want to see a younger me being obsessive about detail check this out:

Worked that one a square inch at a time...Doesn't make it great art. Fun, maybe...Like a heavy metal solo.
Waka-waka-waka. - But good art is based on idea and emotion, even erotic art - how it is conveyed is part of the idea...
Here i'm doing a story set in sort of medieval times, so an old fashioned sort of art fits it. :)

dA acct is free, like FA. A few pages of filling in name/blah-blah and you're in. Tons of furs and furry clubs - you'd prolly have fun there!
"Anthro" is one of the major sections of art. Snoop around - i think you'll like it a lot! :)
FA is a bit more like a virtual con, we're all furs here, and chat in a more relaxed way, but dA has it's good sides too, you can find all sorts of art and photos, stuff that just sparks creativity... :)

Well, the technology does a bit a co-prat-fall with the traditional media.
The scan is a bit greyer - the pens aren't that black - and even if you erase and erase the scanner still picks up some pencil lines...
So you try to lighten the image a bit to get rid of the ghost pencils and you lose the fine lines...you try to darken the image a bit and you get some pencil lines back in...so a few hours of carefully painting in white over pencil lines...
The pattern on her coverlet or wimple or whatever those are called - Yeah, that was a pain.
( But let's not dismiss "species etc".... ;> )

Great, now i'm misreading as "Lord Toad" and all i can think of is "Mr.Toad's Wild Ride" from "The Wind In The Willows", and the old Disneyland ride....and that if there was a "Lord Tad's Wild Ride" it would likely be A. Illegal in most countries, B. It would prolly take a year in line to get there, and, C. why the screeemin heck isn't there such a thing??????.....uhm...my wife isn't reading this is she, er...uhm...".hi dear, if you are, yes, the dishes.....get right to them.....".......
