This is Tammy Cat. I drew it few weeks ago right after school had ended and scanned it, but again, never had time to do anything with it. Well, I finally have found the time. Yes, she's green. I don't know what made me go green, but when I saw it I thought, it works. So here she is in her night clothes. Hopefully there will be more stuff with her. Provided my imagination works with me instead of against me like it normally does.

Thanks, and as far as poses go, I look at a lot of fashion mags, Playboy, and internet references to find stuff, but some times I luck up and just come up with something. And some times one pose will resemble another that I have already done (like the picture I am about to start working on). I mean there's only so many you can pull off before you find yourself repeating the same thing LOL. This pose I actually lucked into.
Well, it's one thing to copy someone' s work directly, and another to use a pose someone else has used. I do a LOT of browsing through FA to see how other artists are drawing poses and parts of the body. After a few hours or even days of browsing I will just sit and sketch mannequins for a while in different poses until I get something I really like and then I start adding features and darkening in lines so I can scan it. When I get it into photoshop I start vectoring the lines and basically redraw the entire thing. This allows me to correct mistakes I make. Believe it or not, Tammy's hands were not the hands I drew on the paper.
Honestly, depending on the pose, hands can just about kill me, but the thing I have the hardest time drawing is inanimate objects. Cars, buildings, furniture, forget it. My 10 year old can draw stuff like that better than I can. It's sad. LOL. Thats why a lot of my backgrounds are just blocks of colors and shadows. Which, as it turns out, works for my art.
