I have an answer for everything. Not necessarily the right
answer, but an answer. :-)

I hope so. My budget seems to suffer every time I
undertake another one!

I'd agree with this for the 'general' image.

Sleep deprivation can make all sorts of things seem
appealing. Like a beer advert here in Australia says "At
4AM, even bean bags have sex appeal..."

Tail narrowing is a good thing, along with the slits in the
shorts. Show us some leg, Des! Suggest maybe removing the
'sleeve' from around her tail?

I had thought this area not quite right, but though it may
have been perspective or me being picky. I couldn't
describe what I thought to be incorrect, so I didn't
mention it.

Test and see. We'll be here to give feedback. :-)

I like JMH's feet with the mega claws. Big curvy claws
work for me. :->

The DesYellow pic is definitely a hot-shot of Des. NO
question there! Can't hate fit-female-forms! The squarer
jaw appears stronger, though the model sheet (I mistyped
sheep there!) does have a smalled and rounder jaw. Test
and see...

Can sympathise with the second two, though hopefully the
war will be brief and everyone will go home prior massive
personell and enviromental casualties. Our Prime Minister
sent in troops even though 95% of the Australian public was
against it.

Scrapper, Black Dragon, starting to understand the stress thing...
