Comfy

"Comfy" was definitely the choice word for this picture, since those who saw it prior to it being colored all used that as the word of best description. Had this pose lying around in my "Giant Book of Gestures", which is probably up to 100 pages of nothing but gestures and poses, for some long while. Quite liked this pose but it had no practical use since it ended up being the reject gesture for another picture with the same character in it. Still liked it anyway and this is what I came up with in the end. In the picture, we have my Mewthree, Demisewan curled up on a bunch of pillows ala cat style. Have a few too many pictures with my girls spread out on various bedding implements, but I am not going to have her just lying on the ground.

Image was incredibly straight-forward outside of figuring out what background I wanted. Originally she was intended to be strung up in electrical wire as she navigated a maintenance tunnel and the image looked really awful, (explained why this pose had lost to the other one) so stuck with the more neutral fall back. Shading was in the relative standard, color was for balance which kept to the whole purple, magenta, pink line, Only difference was I added color patterns that are not her norm, since she doesn't gradient. Other than that, dislike the image balance in this when it comes to viewing the left side against the right side. Too much nothing on the right.
