This picture was a bit of a chore that involved a lot of redoing and tweaking stuff I'd already done. Even the lineart phase was fairly laborious as I felt she looked too "off-model" in her original flats. I'm also still fiddling about with my digital techniques, and am starting to dabble in textures ever so slightly. Additionally, I had a lot of trouble with the background when giving her a real-world setting and I ultimately scrapped it in favor of this steamy, heavenly aura. The detail on the original background wasn't on par with the subject and it wasn't synergizing with her well, and I found it too distracting from the vixen that should be the focal point of the image. Despite all the hassle and how bloated the image became (38 layers, hours and hours of labor) it was a valuable learning experience and I'm mostly pleased with the end result.
