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
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.
