If I was forced at gunpoint to narrow down at what point I looked at an "anthro" character that wasn't a Hollywood-heydey cartoon and something "clicked" (if you want to consider that a euphemism, well, I can't stop you), it'd be when I saw Katt from Capcom's Breath of Fire II. Mind you, the whole game's full of anthros, but... well, okay. Katt's the lean one who isn't wearing pants or undies or anything like that.

Of course, her being a damn entertaining character helps too. Bulletheaded is usually good for chuckles.

Actually, I hadn't thought much of BoFII for a long time til I found the old strategy guide in a box of books pulled from my mother's storage space. Now... I think I need to hook up my SNES. Which led to this sketch. Which also seemed like a good testbed for screwing around with some texture effects and junk.
