This idea came after lengthy discussion with a close friend about various things, including anthro characters and the realm of big and small, in which I discovered we share several interests.. hence part of the inspiration for my placement in this drawing. Also, given her short-ish height in real-life, it’s ironic to have myself, a 6’3” fellow, tucked away in her flip-flop :)

“A pleasant evening for reading, warm mid-afternoon rays of sun shining through the glass panes, with the distant sound of friendly dispute outside the window (albeit one-sided with the fellow on the right having the power of shadow-fire), and a soft bundle of warm fuzziness gently tickling against her heel…”

This.. took.. so.. freakin’.. long x.x In total, several days-worth of hours, certainly 40+. I lost count, not that I kept count in the first place. I’m really glad to finally have finished it! Started with a Blender reference in 3D, but I entirely scrapped that idea for this one. Some reference photos were used, notably for her shirt and flip-flops. If you have questions on how I did something, feel free to look at the Inkscape vector source file below, and if that doesn’t help, leave a comment and I’ll try to explain.

digitalf0x - highly-advanced AI-fox (me), geeky fellow typing away under the shadow of Black’s heel
Fastly fleeing otter - white and ice-blue fellow, my roommate and sarcastic friend
Flame-wraithed wolf - gray-furred fire-ninja, also a close friend and not one to trifle with
