Sketch of my fantasy tiger gal, Tess

In the fluff no less, such scandalous! I opted to once again draw my lovely tiger girl, Tess'rii having a bit of what I guess could be called an internal argument? The last time she tried casting fire bolt things didn't exactly go terribly well. Zirem is quite confused why they're going to do magical tests in the fluff and Tess is actually being fairly practical this time pointing out they will burn less clothes doing it this way.

In reality the random dice roller came up "in the fur" for outfit and I just went with it. This is the first time since all the way back in her early design days that I've gotten to draw her fur coat, so it was a fun chance to actually show her stripes for a change where they are. More or less she has about 3 stripes per limb segment, and 5 that go across her back including her off colored shoulders. I also went and reduced the amount of stump arm she had on her left arm to be more smooth for me to draw.

Her new arm I hope will be the last major change to her design moving forward from now. I made it much more properly scaled and sized to her normal arm, cleaned up the design, added some pretty gilded designs to it and some gems. It was also entertaining seeing how much things have flipped over the years. Her eyes were originally supposed to be the red, and the demon tail purple, but that flipped. I do like my new method of doing speech bubbles for the two. The tail doesn't have vocal cords, or anything to be a real mouth, its just a set of really sharp teeth. They also aren't mind linked, they can't think to each other so they end up arguing out loud in two totally different tones of voice. Hopefully the new system makes it easier to understand who is talking based on the color shifts.

I really liked working on this one and am excited to do more with her and my other fantasy characters in the future.
