Answering what I can, but yes, there are a few! This
translates to a warning, SAMA members, that your inbox may
be somewhat full on Monday if Jim finds the time to respond
with one of his infamous email floods. :-P

With over 150 generations in between, I think that safely
rules out all the sibling / cousin speculations. Great
(x150) grandparent more likely!

We longer lived species do tend to cause 'relational
headaches'. :-) What is the life expectancy of Onika and
Koth's kind? Guess if you run a high rate of body
regeneration, then you can go ages, otherwise you have to
go slow and take it easy (such as some of the big species
of dragon).

So you're bringing the skunk sisters into this too? :-D

No; can't see anything confusing so far! Lead on, I've
paid my admission to the ride, let's see where this 'skunk
hole' goes!

Good plan. Keeps traffic at a sensible level and gives
furs more of a chance to comment and discuss any particular
pic as opposed to losing things in the flood.

Ah, couldn't you be up on charges for that? :-P
Seriously, good luck with things falling in to place, as
you've had a pretty shitty run up till now.

Oh dear, he's finally lost touch with reality and has
becoming a raving lunatic... Well you wouldn't want to
stand out from the crowd now, would you? :-P

Take note for those with crayons!
Good physiology in regard to skeletal and muscular
definitions. I know you always take care to get the
underlying structures correct and it shows. Rendering of
shape and curves are good (I'm actually referring to her
arms, neck and shoulders - not her breasts you perverts!)
Take note, all those who draw, how the further away edges
such as along her back and the hair along her neck are
'softer focus'. Broader, less distinct and softer. The
closer and leading edges are in 'sharper focus'. This
picture has many good examples of 'focal analysis', shading
and shaping. Another good example is under her chin and
across her shoulder. Even though her 'rearward' shoulder
is a defined line, the bolder lines of her chin and neck
bring these forward of her shoulder. This is a technique
gNAW frequently employs, for those a member of gNAW's Dojo.
Kids with claws. Soft skinned creatures such as Koth
wouldn't have much fun if the little one is not careful
with such sharp weapons. We scaled species are fairly
resistant to scratches.
The soft, round features of both mother and child makes
both of them appeal to the 'cute-sensor'; the broad
forehead and big eyes being classic features.
The face, hair styling and jewelry is suggestive of african
culture. You hinting that they were simpler people, having
been around 3,000+ years? Actually a discussion I was
having recently that we are more technically advanced that
we've ever been, though in a few decades I suspect this
will reverse. Technology will be sufficiently advanced
you won't have to know how to press all these keys and
special functions - computers will just know what you want
to do. But don't put off your next upgrade waiting for it
though! It has been promised for about the last 20 years
and we aren't seeing it yet!
Okay, I've typed my bit for now! Good picture Jim - quite
inspirational to make me want to pic up a pencil and put in
some more drawing time.
