Man, not being able to sleep at 4am sucks. At least SAMA is always here. =)

Ayup, style change certainly was the first thing that popped into my head when
seeing this one. Tough angle to draw I'd imagine. I find two things somewhat
odd however. First is her.. "muzzle" for lack of a better term. Almost looks...
equine? Perhaps it's the angle we're looking up at seeing the nostrils flared
more. Or is that actually a style change in her character, and not your actual
artistic style?

The other eyecatchers stem from the highlights in the coloring, most notibly
the tail and the forearms. With the former, the shadow and highlights give a
sort of illusion that her tail is getting smaller where it curls around her
leg. In the latter, were you doing the "Low Body Fat % Veins" a la
bodybuilders? If so, it's done great, just seems a little out of place. Not
against the musculature (which is primo all around, kudos =) ) but more as
abnormal for the character. Again, if this is actual character style change,
then cool. =)

Nice to see you still have a knack for detail. Like, at the wrists where the
skin crinkles a little, her navel, material (the little there is =) ) folds,
and of course again her whole muscule structure. All super keen.

Great seeing what you've been up to in between computers and eyes giving you
the run around, man. Hope it's helping keep ya sane. =)
