More from Kacey
Echo the genet, dressed up in her yukata, ready for a summer festival.
Done with airbrush and acrylics on 8"x10" illustration board.
This is my first time trying airbrush.... (which was what I used for the background)

I don't really have anything to say about the pic itself, other than that it's a) very spiffy, and b) very detailed (related to A).
I found it somewhat interesting, though, that you gave a carnivorous species human-type teeth. There are, of course, no absolute rules as to how furry art can or can't look, but the geekish side of me couldn't help but think of what evolutionary influence would make a carnivore develop omnivore teeth.

Hmm... you know, I hadn't really considered the nature of her teeth - this time I tried to paint them more 'realistically' than before, and I suppose I subconsciouly used human teeth as my reference...
But Echo is one of my more human-ish morphs - the hair, the hands, etc...
And thank you =)

[GEEK]The more things you can eat, the better your chances of getting enough. We can theorize that those proto-anthros that were able to vary their food sources had a better chance of surviving times of scarcity. After intelligence develops, having a surplus of food allows you the luxury of doing other things with your time, like developing civilization[/GEEK]... and Echo looks very civilized :)
Thank you =D.. Thats just the effect I was going for.
I've had the airbrush for years, but I'd never tried using it until this piece. Its a little scary not knowing what you're doing, and being afraid to wreck an otherwise nice sketch, but it was pretty fun to do, once I started ...

An interesting thing about this painting is that I've seen a fan just like that... Here at home. I have a friend who works in Japan as an english teacher, and it was one of the gifts he brought for Solstice. Amazing to see one like it in artwork just a few weeks later...
And I love the way you tied the fan, yukata, and flower together with color, drew my eyes through the picture to notice every detail... Beautiful! :)

Its very possible that you have one that looks very similar. I referenced the design from an old kimono magazine... On the original there are more flowers that look a bit different, and the handle portion is different...
And thank you =D.. I was a little worried at first that the blues wouldn't go very well with the greens in the background but looking at the completed image, I don't think I needed to worry.

Thank you =D... I think that is probably because of the 'out of focus' look to the airbrushed background. I'd like to do something more complex with the airbrush for a background that is both out of focus, but recognizable - but this was my first attempt even using the thing, so it was important to keep it simple ^.^
