Perfect? I don't really know--Tina seems pretty pleased with it. And besides, that title was shorter than "The Mildest Halloween pic on FurAffinity 2007". Which this probably is.

This pic is closest to what "Late O'Ween" was going to be originally, titled "It Rained in the Pumpkin Patch", which whould have featured Tina in a muddy field (natch) picking out a suitable jack o'lantern candidate. That pic somehow didn't pan out early in the sketch phase, and it was salvaged by having her seated atop a pumpkin waiting for somebody. This pic doesn't quite fulfill the original vision either, as it depicts her after having retrieved the pumpkin from the field.

Two marginally different versions of this pic are being posted, as a result of a tactic I tried out during the inking phase. You see, Tina's mud-caked maryjanes (this time the Demonia "Twist" ) look fine in the pencil stage, but caked-on mud is a beeyotch to ink with a brush. So I came up with the idea of drawing and inking her with pristine shoes, then digitally slopping them up in post-production. By use of floating object graphics (like layers, but not encompassing the entire screen), I was able to save out two versions of this pic--the clean one you see here, and the muddy one which you can find linked below. I wonder which one gets more pageviews, heh.

["Muddy" version].
