Love it :) Though a few things: remember you\'re posting in the Fan Art section of the forum - a few off-topic pieces of art are alright, but don\'t make them the majority. If you\'d like, you can open a general \"Taser\'s Art\" thread in Hydlaa Plaza.

In the photomanip, you have the fur growing in random directions. I think the thing that weirded me out most was the fur on her nose :P Study feline faces - all of the fur has a point or several points of beginning, and a definite direction of growth. In some areas, around the eyes, nose, and maw, the hairs are much shorter than say, on the cheeks. It generally tends to smooth down the neck and chest as well. Check some stock imagery sites for cat photos, and since they\'re generally at a really high resolution, you\'ll be able to notice such details. Just something that makes all work more believable :)

Smith: No, My Lord. I am attempting to conceal it.

lol, so if fur is part of my puppys body, is she nude all the time? WOW my dog is a nudist ;D

Seriously though i think there needs to be a line drawn between human nudity/cartoon nudity/different SPECIES nudity ;)

i just had to quote this because i had that funny thought about ny nudist dog.

Taser, your art is nice though, it is nice to see your skill progress too. Keep it coming!

In art, nudity is very acceptable. I agree with Dunadurium too. A regular cat doesn\'t wear clothes, why should an enkidukai have to? Because it is civilized? Define civilized. Does civilized have in its definition \"wear clothes\" or anything of the sort? I don\'t believe so.

I think an Enkidukai\'s fur sort of makes up for their clothes. I mean, it makes sense.... What are the main purposes of clothes? To keep us warm, to protect our skin? maybe to maintain some decency? Well, i think an Enki\'s fur can keep it quite warm, protect its skin, and slightly maintain its decency.

 As for art, nudity in art should be accepted in a mature way. In art, there should be no limits, for to impose limits would be to take away the very essence of all art... Freedom. Art should have no limits, not even by way of nudity.


Ok, my piece of mind has been let out :D

Enkidukai are not cats ;) It\'s all fine and dandy to draw similarities, but all similarities stop after some time. Enkidukai are humanoids, just like Klyros. They are a tribal people that are heavily into decoration, both with fur alone and with clothes and accessories. Yes, they wear clothes, and so they will always. You will not see official nude Enkidukai, any more than you will see nude Klyros.

I can only agree with Karyuu.

I mean if following that logic we could say that humans should be nude because they are decendants of apes, which are nude.

Well at first look I was like OMGOSH friggin awesome, but on a little closer look I have spotted some (minor) issues, right beard(?) seems to be a little off, in my opinion it should be a bit more subtle (like the left part of it), and at some points in the silhouette (outline) of the fur it is rather obvious that it was edited (on some spots the background is blackened), there is something in the left eye that somehow irks me, I can\'t get a hold of it though (it may be just the shadow).

However it is far beyond anything I could do.
