Hide behind? Nah, I'd say you lovingly EMBRACE extra details... and dominate at it accordingly, with all due ringtailed respect. 😉

With that said, I DO remember that previous headshot commission you shared last year!
My goodness, this is WAY marvelously executed. It's super-cool to see a full-bodied version of this distinct artistic theme you've skillfully devised for use in your own personal watermark, as well as last year's headshot endeavor. Honestly, as far as furry art watermarks go, I believe yours is one of my honest favorites. Its just so smooth and concise! Same goes for this righteous lion-bro! Their OC is way cool.

Even for the sake of minimalism, my eyes often tend to gravitate towards how crisp and refined your linework is! It's visually stunning to see how his red-haired highlights are the only visible source of color (aside from that cute raccoon head in the lower-left corner ;3).

I think this illustration is quite a compelling idea which I'm very glad to see come to fruition! Lasarion's commission pitch has been bright and brilliantly well-realized. They made a damn good choice in approaching you for this commission idea! You equally nailed it as such, which thrills me to no end.

Tobi-Sama, let it be known that both you and your artwork are equally amazing, highly inspiring in so many ways... 🦝🦝🦝🦝 thanks again for sharing this piece, I adore the end-results.
