Hi folks,
RipRoarRex finally getting some more artwork finished.
No. Your eyes don't deceive you. Yes, it's a picture of Cassie. A
new picture of Cassie. I repeat,
a new picture of Cassie.(I don't believe hell has frozen over, though it is pretty snowy here in England today.
)
Ever since creating the new profile pictures for my characters during last year's website revamp, I've had renewed interest in those characters that I've somewhat neglected over the years. Cassie has probably been the most neglected - not counting
her profile picture from November, I haven't drawn a proper picture of Cassie since... wait for it... December 2008.
As I've explained before, there are a couple of reasons why I don't tend to draw Cassie that often. For one, I'm not confident in my depiction of female anatomy. And secondly, when I'm 'in the mood' for stuff of the feminine variety, I'm usually content to browse the swathes of material out there featuring
human women. But every now and then, my furry female fancy comes-a-calling, and I felt it was about damn time I answered.
There's nothing particularly revolutionary about the concept of this picture - it's little more than the usual cliche of the office girl with stockings and high heels, but as I've said on several previous occasions, sometimes one can find comfort in a cliche. Especially a sexy one.
Folks who saw my
second instalment of the "Great Unfinished Collection" on FurAffinity a couple of weeks ago may recognise a segment of this picture. I started this piece in late January but it took me a while to get the angle right - needless to say, this type of panoramic vertical low-angle is a tough nut to crack, though I was relatively happy with the result in the end.
A few things I'm not 100% on - I never quite got the shape of the high heels right, nor was I ever convinced by the positioning of her legs and arms, and I still struggle to draw canine faces. I also had difficulty with her 'chest' in the earlier drafts but then came to the conclusion that if I were to draw this angle accurately, it would be hidden behind her legs anyway. The chair was also a bit of a pain - I based it upon my own swivel chair in my room and had to work from photographs for reference. Again, it's not completely accurate, but I think it works.
Even though I had
written on FurAffinity last year about my desire to return to a cartoon style, I actually felt I needed to go all the way with this in terms of realism. I've done very little with Cassie and I feel like I've never really done her justice with a proper, well-executed fetish picture, so I put more effort into the shading and went a bit nuts with texturing. (For anyone curious, the fur is simply two layers of blended brush strokes - one dark, one light - and the stocking was done using a modified texture and a warping brush.)
As my Great Unfinished Collection demonstrates, I've still got lots of stuff in the pipeline, but as I'm still currently in the unpredictable position of looking for work, it's never easy to say how long it'll be before I complete another picture. I'm hoping however to have something more done in the next two weeks, so watch this space.

It's tough being a working girl, but thankfully Cassie has people working below her who can regularly relieve the stress of the nine-to-five.
