Why do fox's look so good in expensive 3 piece suits?... Had much smear trouble on this one and I don't know why. I cleaned it up though nothing major, just every time I would clean up one smudge, another would appear, even though I was taking all the right precautions. Also, could not decide on the thumbnail sketches, one just a close up head shot, one more backed out showing his hands in his pockets, and this one (middle ground). There was also a James Bond pose with a pistol, but I passed it up as way to “cheesy”. Anyhow, done with 2H, HB, 2B, and 4B Staedler Lumographs, HB (Hard), and 2B (Med) General's charcoal pencils, and the usual eraser stick, and a kneaded eraser on Bristol paper. 6 Hours (give or take an hour).

What I like about this is that this is... very realistic without being bestial. Most fox uploads I've seen typically will create smallish snouts and with unbalanced muzzle structure. Here its all very robust looking; I imagine him being a sly, cunning lawyer for a John Grisham style firm.
Me, Seaweed, Steelclaw, and TJ were at PG's this last weekend helping Fran clean up and prep for her move. We know Jon was a panda, lion, and bear enthusiast, but you should add Packrat to the list. Who else keeps a complete diskette set of Win 95? Brough back good memories, and I wanted to thank you for all the help you have given her these last few months. *hugs*
Yeah, Fran was telling us that, in the days following Jon's passing, she actually fell asleep on his bed while taking care of some stuff in his room. She woke up to someone jerking the covers rather forcefully. Of course, no one was there. Jon is still around, watching over us all.
