Is there anyone who doesn't like okapi? *looks around* I didn't think so.
I decided i haven't drawn enough of them... see, my love of okapi is currently very disproportionate to the amont of times i've depicted them - though as of this morning the ratio has improved greatly - this change evidenced by the image you see here.
Still need to draw them more though...
But so... i had to draw a rear view to start, because the best thing ever is okapi butts. We all know this, i'm sure. Right? Plush, stripey okapi butts.
I think i did well... she really looks like an okapi, too. I almost gave up on this when i was sketching it, but i'm glad i didn't now.
The lacing on the corset isn't technically right... (at least it's different than the one i have. I need to figure out how that works sometime... the lacing controls the tightness of the middle and the bottom separately.) but i doubt too many people will gripe about that.
IT HAS BUILT IN HANDLES. o.o
Oh, and i was meaning to mention that her 'ossicones' are an attachment held on by her eyebrow piercings, they're jewelry, not real. Only the male okapi actually has them, unlike giraffes. For some reason, she wears them... i suppose it might be a cultural-gender-status-fashion-nonconformist thing.

Your love for the okapi is well shown in your fursona, the markings on the front legs always reminded me of these creatures (but now I'm prettu sure that was intentional, wasn't it?). So even if you don't draw them enough...you still sort of do, when your draw yourself. :)
On to the pic, it's wonderful. I'm glad to finally see an okapi that looks like an okapi and not some cow/horse cross. And those handles are very intirguing...I feel like drawing sexual things just by looking at 'em. But that can't be a bad thing!
And, awesome shading, as always!

Yeah, i most definitely knowingly incorporated okapi stripes into my character's forearms/front legs... because i felt compelled to add part of an okapi somewhere. :)
This dancer's hands and forearms actually would be patterned just like mine if they weren't covered by arm stockings - that's the way i adapted the anthro-okapi's foreleg patterns from the quadrupedal form...
A trick i've been using lately is using references! ...for the first time really in all my art i've begun carrying a few of those "Facts on File" wildlife cards with me, because they're really handy. I wouldn't have gotten this okapi's face to look so okapi-like without a picture. (I'm not intimately familiar enough with them yet.)
Thanks for your wonderful comments! And I'm happy you've been enjoying my creative fruit. :)

Love the piercings. Especially the ones running through her neck. Odd that I tend to spot some body mods before I get the chance to find anything else.
Though I didn't notice the ossicones til you actually pointed them out. And I'd like to say those are probably the coolest ones out of her her body mods.

Oh.
My.
God. :|
Wow. This is.. /amazingly/ sexy. c.c There are so many elements in this that I love - the corset (which is, yes, laced wrong - it wouldn't hold it's shape like that, laced like that. But it's still bloody gorgeous!) the stockings, the non conformity! XP
So fantastic! <3
