Lumina and her little dragon...
Lumina is a black panther under normal lighting - under ultraviolet lighting, these are her markings...
I did scan a few times as I painted - I'm thinking of piecing together the scans for web display and posting them in scraps as a sequence, discussing how I did it, if I get 10 comments that say there's interest in that, I'll go ahead and do that.
This piece is done on 8"x10" illustration board, with micron pen and Golden fluid acrylics. To be displayed at Eurofurence.
*edit* looks like I got at least 10 comments about seeing the progress, so I've posted 3 in progress pics in my scraps section - feel free to check 'em out. Also I wrote a semi in-depth commentary on what I was thinking and how I did it.

The trick at doing fur is to color in the direction that the fur would fall, in small strokes. As you shade, the strokes overlap and appear like fur =). Be careful not too make it look too ordered, though - as real fur doesn't all fall parallel, they overlap. This works well with short fur. Longer fur is more complicated, but the same basic principle works - you just need dark shadows inbetween clumps of fur, and to have perspective on the fur that points towards the viewer.
