Poor little fella, wasn't paying attention and lost his only ice cream cone (strawberry, even, too! D= ) on the floor of the department store!

Heh, this pic started out as an obsessive idea I had one day and after quickly sketching it out, I got it inked and colored/shaded in less than a week. Then I figured I'd add some smooth shading and one thing led to another and now a month later I'm fiiiinally releasing it. XD Actually, the characters didn't take long. It was the background that sucked up all my time and will to live. =D Though with all the crazy reflective, focus, and lighting effects I think it was worth it. =3

I'm fairly pleased with how it turned out, though the sketch had a much more dynamic pose that was lost once I got done with the line art. X3 And ironically, almost all of the inking was done free hand this time around without the help of the spline path tools. Also it lost it's tooniness after I 3D shaded it so that's something I still need to work on. ^_^;

And just to note, this isn't my fursona as a youngster (although this scene is loosely based on real-life events! D= ) since this little guy is in an anthro universe compared to CF's more feral design. Also he's missing his chocolatey paw markings. XD (Though maybe they come in after adulthood? ^_^; )

Anyway, I hate leaving this character in such a sad state and I've been sketching him from time to time ever since in happier scenes. I just haven't been satisfied with the quality until recently, so hopefully some additional pics of this little guy soon will be available soon. X3
