I got xxxradiotrashxxx for samyena's Halloween 2012 exchange. This is Nikita, giant panda with a red panda's tail.

The character is a contortionist and so I didn't want to go with anything too stiff and boring as far as the pose went, so here we have Nikita dressed, interpretively, as a black widow spider, doing rope acrobatics, suspended high in the air, on a rope decorated in a spider web pattern.

I wanted the swirly, sweeping, texture on the sky to lend some motion and make it feel more active.

This one was done mostly with Faber Castel pens and a Grey No.7 copic.
