First thing's first when diving head first into your furry side with no artistic talent to speak of; commission a ref sheet!

Drawn and colored by the awesome  beastwares who does tons more than just make awesome hats and tails. She really does make some awesome hats and tails though. :)

EDIT: Noticed the markings were backwards on the back view. Photoshopped them to the correct sides, but still doesn't look as good as I'd hoped. Will update with another corrected version when I can.
