Description Well, I've tried this a couple of times before without decent results... I figured Yoshi-Lord's contest would be a great excuse for giving it another shot.

So here it is: Human and HTF, Fresko edition. He's easily one of the most famous fan-made HTFs out there (partially thanks to a fan-fiction practically everyone knows), which makes this drawing sort of risky. Don't hurl those tomatoes at me just yet; please read the explanation below. As usual, this is just how I myself look at the character.

Fresko the cat, or as he prefers to say, the Feline Freshman, is a laid-back, cool guy who happens to be in college (hence the background, which is supposed to represent a school hallway, lockers included). Confident and with quite a sense of honour, he's willing to take on any challenge to live up to his name. This is reflected in the confident way in which he leans against the lockers. For someone aware of his own status, high-fiving yourself must be the ultimate experience, which is exactly what I made them (him?) do here. Last but not least, Fresko is most likely a fan of the colour blue given his fur hue; for human Fresko, I translated this into blue clothing (note some of the little details, such as the stars on human Fresko's sneakers matching the tip of HTF Fresko's tail), blue eyes and painted streaks in his hair. Come on, an entirely blue haircut would be too much!

Fresko looks slightly older than the other human-characters in this series, but that's because I've always considered him to be a teenager, unlike Shelly or Bruno.

I hope this attempt was more or less successful, and I hope you like most of the general style choices. Feel free to comment; should you decide to fav, then please drop a message first. If you spot any serious errors aside from the ugly hands, please report them and I'll see if I can do something about it.

Also, how's the brightness for you guys? My screen always deceives me and I don't want the piece to look chemical behind my back.

He has an official age? I learn something new every day >_>

Choices are more or less random. I'll most likely pick my own favourites out of early Net Friends characters, and it's a plus if they can be depicted as children, and leave room for imagination; Ronnie and Sheagra are both adults and of a completely different caliber. Then again, Daemonarch deserves acknowledgement for both creations, so who knows?

Fresko's age could be found here: [link] and here: [link]

As for imagination, I'd say it would take quite a bit to translate Sheagra's unique appearance into a human, regardless of age.

Alright then, I'll keep it in mind... Gotta take a look at the archives before choosing, but indeed those are among the best.

Nicely done.
I think you already know how much of a fan of Fresko I am, so this gets an instant from me.

Thanks It seems Fresko's quite a legend among HTF fan characters.

Haha, that's why this probably won't work for characters based on their creator.

Thanks! And your colour choices aren't bad for as far as I can tell.

If that's what you want to think, then I guess it doesn't matter if I claim otherwise... Still, I disagree And Marny did well in the competition for a good reason.
