So, it’s time for another game of “What Guoh drawing did Bluedraggy color now?” I really can’t help it. He just makes so many good ones!

This one’s going to look a little different though. I’d watched some tutorials, primarily on doing fur and also color. So I tried to apply those at least somewhat to this one.

Also, you know when you do these, you spend a lot of time with the ‘character’. My brain starts putting together a story. Usually it’s sated by just a quick one or two sentence thing, but this time it took off. I’m writing a story. I’ve only got the first chapter done, and it’s in a rough state, but if you’d like to read it I’ve got it up at pastebin: https://pastebin.com/TwVbQDRv

It will EVENTUALLY involve this demon lioness.

Technically that’s not quite the original sketch. I’d removed some of his shading since I was going to do shading over it anyway.  I still started with flat colors, though the coloring tutorial just dove right in without them. But even if I end up completely covering the flat base with other stuff, I still like it to be under there.

Okay, here’s where the new stuff begins. I used a fur brush I downloaded for this. The brush itself adds it’s own variety to the base color in a semi-random manner so each stroke of the fur brush will contain their own slight variance.

Here I’ve used the same fur brush but with a yellower tint for the highlighting, and a bluer tint for the darker areas. I do like the result. It kind of let’s me do my gloss thing without looking like rubber.

And this is the end result after adding a background, more highlighting and a little more gloss on, shall we say… key areas.

I think I may have killed it’s popularity somewhat by adding that very dark background. But I still like it. I’ll put the story up after I get a couple more chapters done and at least somewhat proofread. I’ve not even made the blog for it yet though, so I can’t post it here yet. It will be NSFW. Undoubtedly.
