I only got one commission during this year's What the Fur, so the rest of the time I spent in Artist's Alley, I diddled around with "me for me" pics. This is one of them, depicting Tanya in a school uniform. She's not really a student, it's just the look (School Uniforms are the New Black). I think she's looking a little nervous because the last time she was drawn in an outfit like this, it was making a reference to a hentai manga :D
This time around, I was making a reference to the fact that a lot of manga artists can render their figures and clothing completely correctly right till they get to the character's feet, then completely screw up the shoes. I went the extra mile (kilometer? y'know I was in Canada when I drew this..) and put her in a fairly generic (but accurate-looking) pair of penny loafers.

Other than that. nothing groundbreaking here. I made the pencils into vectors using Inkscape, then added a simple backdrop in my usual image application once I threw down some flat colors. Because I have a hard time letting a pic go without a backdrop. There are a couple of other pics I did during my stint in WTF's 'alley, and those will be posted as I have time to quickie them up.
