I didn't. Originally was about to be unknowingly cliche and wanted to be a fox, but all my family and friends denounced that idea and claimed I resembled a coyote more in behavior and appearance. Turns out they were right (but I kept just a pinch of fox influence).

Goddammit why are cheetahs so cute...and hot...

Would be nice if I could get the Trumpers around me to shut up that easily...unfortunately online is slightly harder to silence than snapping at them in person.
Would have loved to see their face tho.

Also: dive into ruining things. Make a mess. Best way to figure your style.
Many props to your endeavors, and I wish good luck (though I doubt you'll need it, you're already a great artist).
If I ever manage to get not-broke (yay to us self-employed), I might look into a commission :)

Saw this before I saw the vid, and now have so much more context; yeah, mixing colors is something that eventually you get a feel for "I need about this much and this much to make this" but also you never get perfect on. Part of the fun tho.

They were exceedingly visible up here…and I’ve never seen them that far overhead or bright before (also only seen them here once before but still…).

Alright, you win the contest

Then sheath kiss is mandatory, 'cause I only do gay :3

Ow, I think that’s the second case of this I’ve seen in the last day…

Coyote, but I get that a lot.
Yet to get any art of this but it’s a top kink.

It is the best view

Jealous of both your positions :3

Everyone’s got less grainy shots than I managed…that color is rich.

Cute otters in the back door :3

Instead? Missed it?
Gee, now I feel really lucky, saw the lights and heard my brethren out past the neighborhood...

Adorable

They said that last time I got to (barely) see them, so I take the claim with a grain of salt.
Or at least, take the note that around here supposedly the strongest part of the storm is 1 pm, which isn’t very conducive to viewing.
