Heyoo~! So, back in January I started working on a sequel of sorts to Fittttt and Littttt (link), which I'd already been working on since the previous month. You can see the similarities in the basic structure, I'm sure. And it generally went better than the previous pic, so I ended up just wanting to finish this one instead! But I felt I should finish the first one, first. You know? And I mean, it took a few months, but it's done now, so it was time to finish these two crocogirls. However, this one's shading had already been finished, so it just needed a background, some backlighting, and some tweaks.

But this time I was inspired by someone else's anthro Sandile - now you don't see anthro Sandile all that often, but this one had very pretty eyes (and grotesquely over-exaggerated proportions, but anyway). So I drew my own. As for the Totodile, she's a design I drew a couple of times in Don't Break the Chain (link).

She's Australian now, I guess. I don't love how she turned out here (some of the proportions are just off), but it was kind of too late to change them. On the other hand, I DO love how Sandile turned out! She's extremely cute. I think the eyes do a lot for the picture as a whole. Also, look! A proper, fully-rendered, REAL, BACKGROUND!!! Yeah, I originally intended to do a fudged, out-of-focus, vaguely tropical backdrop in the same kind of style as Big Lass' background (link).

But I suddenly decided to try something a bit more realistic. A view of a beach, looking out to sea, is a pretty simple landscape. The most difficult parts are the surface of the water (which I just fudged since it's not that visible anyway) and the white froth at the shore. I'm actually quite proud of what I managed to do for that. I basically experimented with a bunch of spattery brushes, i.e. fiddling with brush spacing, angle and size jitter, and such, to make them look the part. I found the perfect brush out of the paint spatter brushes I downloaded all the way back in 2015. And to finish it off, I did an Iris Blur around the edges, something I'm not usually a fan of but thought would look nice here if done tastefully.

I have one more unfinished anthro Pokemon pic, this time one I started in April... that one's nowhere near finished, though...
