Artist's Comments
Edit: This image was re-uploaded b/c I've changed the watermark, as well as tweaked the colors and sharpness for increased quality.
PLEASE FULL-VIEW, otherwise you'll miss the details in his costume! THANKS! Michael Jackson Anthro FAQ: Q: Why did you chose to do this project? A: Because I could do it. I wanted to challenge myself in making a real-person anthro in a real-life costume. Q: What kind of animal is he? A: A panther, inspiration drawn from his music video "Black & White". Q: Why the bandage on the tail? A: Did you ever see MJ wrap his hands in gauze? Well I thought if he had a tail he might do the same. Q: Are those barrettes on his gloves? A: Yes, isn't that a cool idea? MJ's costume designers are quite innovative. Q: Did you use any reference images? A: Yes, a crappy one. Q: What's up with the "Michael Jackson" written down the side? A: If you click on the my reference image, you'll see that I based the image off of his 1987 Tour poster. I took the liberty of adding a more interesting background, inspired by the parking garage in the "Bad" music-video. Comments
 usually i fear MJ, he just creeps me out. you made him look good. ^^ *loves it*
-- Be a Man! Be as sweet as Niko's cupcakes!  this is seriously so kick-ass.
 i like the idea you put into this. <33 I love the way you did the outfit. ^^ And the detail in the fur is excellent, though I have to say, the simplicity in the clothes' shading seems to contrast the fur's realism oddly.
At any rate, it's still wonderful. I, unfortunately, don't know a different MJ than the one today, but you've definitely given him an ede.   -- PLACE OF SEXY WEBCOMIC. >8D "I still believe that change can happen, though it's hard and it happens slowly." Mostly I was trying to define the difference in material. Leather is shiny and pretty simple to draw/shade, while fur is much more complex. Thanks though!
-- The one who boasts must boast in the Lord. Oh, yeah, that makes sense, huh? xD I really like the way you did it. You're just so amazing with detail. <3 I just kinda go over it and make it detailed enough.
-- PLACE OF SEXY WEBCOMIC. >8D "I still believe that change can happen, though it's hard and it happens slowly."  Haha! I love the choice of animal to use, especially with the black/white reference. But this looks awesome, girl!
-- "Kind of makes me feel like Riverdancing." ~Agent Smecker "Never shall innocent blood be shed, yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river."  :Thumbsup: WooO! Hotdamn girl, that came out awesome! ^ ^
-- All your Metroids are belong to Me!  Muahahaha!.(oOo) . /| |\ "Yahho, watashi wa kattaze~!" "there is nothing sad in this death" ~Vincent Van Gogh "My inner child is suing me for child abuse"   though it's abit weird (as in Micheal as an anthro) but the picture do have the MJ feel in it  I think it's interesting, nice job!-- ======================================= Fill in the blanks here.. =======================================  homg. That is SO Michael Jackson. The pose and attitude of the character resembles him greatly.
-- "Another fantastic person is the famous GearOtter. Check her out on deviantart.com, her art sucks dirt, but she has a posse almost as great as my own, a bunch of friends who suck up to her and get her page views. Go geary."  |
