Just a quick pencil sketch I drew this morning of "Lucy," one of the stunt-motorcycle riding Marten ladies I've been muzzing on.
I believe I've finally got the tremors that have been plaguing my hands under control. Besides, I'm having a lot of fun with the project.

You're quite correct, from a few different points. A few that have bothered me over the years are: how do you put hats on deer? (Either you use garrison caps, or as Freddy Andersson once did for a whitetail character of mine, flaps that fit around the antler root and button.) The question of tail flaps in trousers is also important, and for that matter, how do you put silk stockings on a femme's legs, especially if she has sharp hooves or claws? (I've seen a kind of stirrup sock like baseball players wear as a solution.) But the most important thing is not getting long tailfur tangled -- when you consider that's part of a fur's spine, very important. Don't want to end up like Isadora Duncan, as I pointed out in another thread.
Nice! 🙂
Did you settle on the Bikes yet? Seen you mentioned the WWII vintage Indian Chief, but the Late 1920's/30's Indian Scout might also be an option - they were used for the Daredevil Shows a bit back then? (My late Grandfather also used to do all kinds of crazy crap on one back in the 50's. I still have his later Indian here, but need to restore it eventually.)

Yeah. I want to use the little WWII era Harley Davidson "Messenger" bikes because they would be plentiful as "War Surplus" in the time the story takes place. I was kind of hoping to find a 3-D model to use as reference during my recent visit to Pegasus Hobbies in Montclair. Unfortunately, the model kit I had in mind is now a collector's item, and difficult to find in hobby shops.
