I agree 100%. It's just that I can probably say in all honesty that I
don't have the time Jim does to perfect the craft. I know I need to draw,
and coming from some serious mainstream artists like Iron Badger, I've got
the basics in paw.

Absolutely not. I appreciate all of the encouragement I can lay my grubby
little mitts on :)

Tell yunz all what: I have a preliminary sketch I put up for giggles in my
Amateur Gallery at
http://www.furnation.com/bondofox/vixenBF.jpg. You be
the judge. And please don't laugh too loudly :)
I freehanded it based on one of Tremaine's finished pic's. I'm trying to
study other artists' and work toward developing the basics before I worry
about developing my own style.
Best knots,
