'clown ketchup burt's bees creature object thing'

That's one intense description

but uh I just realized, like a few weeks ago that i was doing akurle wrong- in fact, i was doing all my arctic wolves wrong

it was the neck fluff

i knew it wasnt exactly as i wanted it but i didnt realize the problem until i did it right

i uhhh i'll admit i kinda tried to copy someone else's style, the person who drew Red on Unveiling the plot

ok i didnt actually copy but i knew that they had the thing right about the neck that i was missing, so i tried drawing neck fluff they they did and HOLY COW I FIGURED IT OUT

problem was how i was drawing the neck fluff. i was drawing it as long and flowy (nothin wrong with that) but i was making it appear as though the fluff were just all these really long strands, like a head of hair, coming off the upper neck and hanging down. there was no blue fur actually coming off the neck underneath that, just a long head of hair coming off her neck instead

but what i was trying to aim for was making the fluff look like there were shorter, but still long, strands of blue fluff coming off the entire neck, not just some long hairs coming off the very top and hanging down over the rest of her neck

i was making it more like a human head of hair instead of like a lions mane

and i figured it out when i drew the picture of akurle on my message wall, and i haven't drawn akurles full neck until now when i drew angry akurle which is why im so proud of it because i did it right

i cant exactly explain how i did it differently but i can show you? maybe
