I know this is from GlacierClear but damned if I can find where the hell I got it from! She’s got like a bazillion archives, sites and even more actual sketches. She must draw every second she’s conscious.
This one has no reason for existing but to titillate. But sometimes that’s okay too. I recognized that not only does she not have a tail, but her pussy is extremely puffy. Someone said it looks like a pussyball. But I figure there’s a fetish for everything, and in the scheme of things a pussyball fetish isn’t so bad.
Original by Chochi:
Yeah, that’s not a bad place to start! Base colors first:
Went with the exact complementary color for the bed, just to try it. I wanted to try some soft shading (and highlighting) using opacity on this one. Came up with this:
Then I added sharp shading to boot. Because of my debacle with light sources last time, I actually drew in the light source lines to help me with shadow placement – based on the reflections in her eyes.
That’s my attempt at soft shading with an opaque brush. But I also did similar with highlighting – as well as normal highlighting:
And finally some little shading on the bed and a couple more little tweaks:
That’s it. Naughty tailless Kitty by Chochi, colored by me. With Pussyball at no extra charge!
This one took days. And then FurNut pointout out the multiple problems I had with the shadows. First, here’s the original sketch by Chochi…
What possessed me to think I could do this, I really don’t know. I pulled out every trick I knew. Then I posted it to FurNut’s server for review. He pointed out what was, perhaps, a problem with the light sources in my shading…
I laughed. I cried. Then today I got to work. I’d already put too much time in to give it up, that’s for sure! So instead I erased all of Chochi’s shading on the table items. Then using the hightlights he drew in their eyes, I figured out where the light source was. In fact, there are two so it’s inherently inconsistent. But I extrapolated a light source triangulated to the intersection of those two which was the best I could come up with.
And so, here’s the final version:
(removed the window. It was distracting.)
Now, for details if you care. First, there are no nipple bumps in Chochi’s drawing. I added them. Because I like nipple bumps. I think nipple bumps are God’s gift to mankind. I also added the Shiny – but at least only on things that might be covered with shiny cloth. Mostly.
I said I used all my tricks, and I meant it. I did my little furshading on the two tails you can see. I did the woodgrain on the table. I did the hair highlighting. I can’t even remember the rest. I hope you like it as much as I do. I can pretty much tell the individual personalities of all of em! Good job Chochi! I know he doesn’t do much Kitties anymore, but I wish he would. They’re still A-Door-Able.
Did another, this time by Chochi. Normally I’d never try to color anything by Chochi or others of his quality because they could do such a better job if they wanted to. But this was drawn in 2010 and I think it’s safe to assume he won’t be returning to it by now. She looks so sad.
He’s got some others I really want to color. He does better than me, but he’s been absent 7 months and seems to have disappeared. I’ve yet to find an artist who minds me coloring their sketches, so hopefully he won’t either.
Here’s the final version:
Not a lot of new experimental techniques or anthing, but I think she turned out nice – and I toned down my shiny to a tolerable level I think.
I showed it to Kaz and he was okay with me putting it on the Booru. Rather pleased at that, though if it gets taken down by mods, I’ll understand. It’s pretty much the furthest edge you can get without being totally totally NSFW.
Anyway, so I came across Starfighter’s work while looking for a Rajirra or Katia to draw, and darned if he doesn’t say right there on his FA page that he’s fine with others finishing/coloring his sketches. So I took him up on it!
I wouldn’t say I’m GOOD at linework/inking. Just that I’m getting better. I kept most of the sketch in behind my lines here as I was planning to go truly furry with it, and some sketchy lines enhance that I think.
I wanted to experiment with this one, so I tried some colored gradient shading on her boobs and a bit of belly. The result was less than optimal. Interesting, but naaa… It’s not just that I only did the boobs and belly so they pop out as 3d on a flat cat – but the color just is wrong and the gradient is TOO smooth. Someone said they look like eggs. (They do!) But it was funny so I’ll show it here anyway.
No, instead I went for 2 level hard-shading. This is an in-progress point. I had the background basically added and most of the colors. But I wanted it more furry than this so I wasn’t done yet.
And here’s the final. I got some suggestions – mostly on the shadow and there’s a VERY slight pink on the nipples. Hopefully almost imperceptible.
That’s it. Starfighter’s Rajirra. She thicc. I also learned a new acronym! BFCT.
There will undoubtedly be more of similar proportions to come. Starfighter has more! Hehehehehehhhh. I’m calling this one nsfw, because it isn’t. Nothing is obviously showing, but, let’s be honest, you don’t want to use this as a screen-saver at work.
