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. CommentsI was never much of a MJ fan but this is a really awesome drawing and I think it captures him pretty well.

His right arm, the one that is up, however, isn't quite high enough, even though I know it's bent behind him some, the elbow seems a little.. short. It could be the perspective is just throwing me off, but it does just look a bit low. Though I'm not a big fan of cutting out one toe on anthro's, I know it's a style, it jsut looks a little strange to me, but the legs and paws are great, even down to the fold of skin an d all. His other shoulder, facing us, his left, also seems maybe dropped a little too low- not by much, but almost in a disconnected sense- but, like I said, not too much.
It does very much feel like a poster and that's awesome, I like the feel with the name on the side, the border and even the spray painted 'bad' on the backdrop. Definitely gives it more dimension by putting a bg on it, even if a basic one, I like it better than if it was just plain white. Adds more to the whole effect.
Over all, well done.
