She's lovely either way, but I'll admit I prefer the original. It feels a little...incomplete this way.

Maybe she would benefit from some draped fabric or clothing to tastefully censor? A little bit of added color and movement would give the SFW versions a unique appeal.

Thank you so much for the comment! This is the kind feedback of the community that I'm looking for, thanks :3

I'm planning on creating more SFW versions of my other commissions, and I'll definitely keep this idea in mind for some of my future pieces! Sometimes it's hard to modify an existent piece without "changing" too much the feeling of it and keeping true to what the original intent or request was.

I don't plan on adding very elaborate clothes in those versions, but adding some simple fabrics could be a great way forward. Thanks again for this suggestion! :3 💜

She is quite beautiful in both cases. Can't go wrong with an otter girl.

Yay!! Thank you so much for your words! 💜

I'm trying something different and I'm glad that you like her too! I'm looking for some feedback to see what you all think of that!

And I agree: I made it easy choosing this gorgeous! (no! not my personal choice... not at all... cute otters! It's your impression! *wink* *wink* hahahahah ) :3

Depends on your intentions! If you're aiming for being suggestive and a sultry tone while still arguably falling within SFW boundaries, then the current version is good. But some sites might consider this Mature-rated or too suggestive.

If you're going for a more wholesome look, then like Malakai suggested, fabrics, and being surrounded by some contextually-appropriate objects in both the foreground (as a tasteful censor) and background (so that she is not the only thing to focus on) could work, and it would indicate details about her, e.g occupation and personality (if she's a grocery store owner, maybe fruits?). Other possible changes, if needed, are changing limb poses slightly and facial expressions by a bit to make the subject look more relaxed and neutral, but that might be too drastic or difficult.

Personally, I find the this style with only fur covering the bits to be alluring in its own way. It's as if without the explicit bits, your attention focuses more on the general shape of her body. I loved the SFW version of your Lady Fox Mushrooms artwork too.

Thank you so much for your comment! I'm glad you appreciate the style of this piece and the Lady Fox Mushrooms too. 💜

I appreciate your analysis of the style and the potential ratings. I'm aiming for a version that is undeniably SFW while still capturing the essence of the character. Initially, I'm posting here, on FA, but in the general category.

Thanks for the great suggestions! I especially like the idea of using objects to add context and detail. I'll definitely keep that in mind, although I'm hesitant to make major changes to the poses and expressions, especially in plays where the focus is only on the character. As for pieces whose original art has scenery or context elements, I think this decision should be more simple. :3

Thank you very much for the feedback!
