One of my top tier patrons had me help my buddy MelodicStream create a new fursona for himself, and this is the result. What animal is it? Well, it's some kind of... Melo... thing... okay? Never mind that, isn't he handsome?

I took this opportunity to try and use a kind of fur shading that I have used in the past, but not to this extent. I believe that getting a good handle on this technique might bring my fully-rendered anthro works closer to what I see from many other accomplished furry artists, but I feel that I'm not quite there yet. Any feedback regarding the fur shading on this piece would be quite appreciated!

Oh, so you like this? That makes me very happy!
