I gotta say, your art has become super expressive
All of these are so lively and exciting!
Awesome job!!

Aww thank you very much!
I've been trying to put a little more thought into how the character is standing, or just their pose even. And not just leave all the expression to the face. It's difficult to do just that xDD

I just love looking at these sketch dumps! Normally when I think of a sketch dump, I think of, well, a haphazardly formatted dump of various sketches, but even in a sketch dump you seem to keep composition and color in mind. Your varying choice of sketch color and color intensity scattered about the page works well in adding that extra "pop", it makes it all the more eye catching and you then combine it with a significant vertical format that forces me to zoom in and slowly scroll down, making each sketch a delightful surprise that rises up from the bottom of the screen with more sketches hidden away in tow. Needless to say, it's a very effective format you've chosen and that's not even getting into the sketches themselves!
Perhaps it's just me but are the claws something new to your style? I don't remember you ever drawing any of your characters with claws openly visible. They look especially cute on Cole!
I'd like to make on small suggestion (it's the writer part of me coming out) with your sketch dumps. I think it would be great if with each sketch you added a number or some little obscure tag and then link it to a small description in the artist comments. I'm love story attached to art and even a single sentence can greatly multiply what you show in visual form.
It would have to be much. For example, imagine having a "#4" next to a sketch of Lemon who just had too much coffee. You could then make an entry in your artist comments like:
#4 - Someone left out a coffee cup and Lemon just couldn't help herself. I thought of this earlier today after passing a lone cup of coffee on the table and thought on what Lemon would do if she was in my shoes.
I'd love to see something like that. It would take a little more time on your part but I think it would also help share more about your characters and the art itself with minimal effort. It would be a great way in utilizing both art and word to bring them forth from digital paper into reality. Also, as an added benefit, I might be able to better know your characters besides Tanner, Lemon and Spot.

Aww thank you very much!
I think just the idea of keeping something a sketch and knowing that I'm not going to color it any time soon inspires me to detail it a bit more. I can relax a bit and just sketch in extra lines and small details.
I used to draw whiskers and claws on all my characters a long time ago x3
I forget to do it often enough, except with John and Lemon.
Tanner body I try to keep as close to human as possible I think. Not sure why.
Where as John and Lemon I try to make them as feline as possible. I'm kind of switching over to the more animal side of anthro, my style is strange and most times you can't really tell what kind of animal any of them are supposed to be.
I would like to do that! I more likely wont write someone for each sketch but I do like numbering them! That was if someone has a questions they can just say 'number 4' or whichever instead of describing which drawing.
And yes it would help identify the characters, or at least fill other people in on who is who :3

OOOOOOHHHHH MY GOOOOOD
DO I SEE BROOKE AND TWILLYN!?
Β I literally screeched when I saw them! Amahgad Twillyn is too cute to handle and COLE IS KILLING ME!
ALSO
IS THAT CAPTAIN SUAVE?!
I can't get enough of these sketch dumps! MAN if only you did these weekly. Like Sketch Dump Saturday or something, I would die or happiness.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes you do! : D
I wasn't really happy with how she turned out so I never finished it.
But Cole xDD He's like "Yeah and her hair was like *hand movement*"
Nah Suave isn't in this one.
The guy I've known for years and the demon is in this though xD
Okay that would be pretty awesome : D
I think I could probably do that too! I sketch often enough!
π: 0 β©: 1
AAAAAAAAAH SO PERF! I can't take how cute tehy are! Literally seeing them makes me so happy right now.
Ok is it bad that I saw Twill, knew it was my character, but couldn't remember her name?! LOL I ahd to look it up.
Cole's human form? WOO I figured that was the Demon. Wait. Which is he?
DO IT
I WILL DRAW YOU ANYTHING JUST DO IT That would be BOMB! It'd also get you drawing more!

The Brooke and Tanner one, I was gonna make them shopping in a mall on Valentines day like "We single and we happy, screw yall" xD
Hahaha! Lol that's alright! You have a lot of angels and from I can tell this is a pretty new one and you still have to get used to her name x3
Lol, the pencil sketch near the top, it's black, and very messy. That's the demon.
Haha! Alrighty I'll try!
And yes it would! It hopefully will make me want to actually finish something and not just have a million sketches x3

GIRL That is exactly how it would go down! So much chocolate would be bought, we would then proceed to watch The Cat Returns and just have a beautiful day.
True! I need to study my own characters! LOL
Ok I see! He makes a cute kitty!
YAY! That would be brilliant! I could try, but I hardly sketch enough to fill one page. 
LOL I do need to do today's DW, which is a Valentine's Day special and I'm out of ideas, so I might sketch some DW ideas. I actually did sketch out some on the back of my biology notes that I'll put up. Two new races and a list of possible names that those races might name their people.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes that sounds perfect, lets do that : D
Oooh cool!
I haven't done anything too creative x.x
I have one project that will start as soon as I'm done reading this book.
Someone sent me they're book and when I'm done reading it they want me to make a new cover for it.
So we'll see how that goes.
π: 0 β©: 1
YES! Someday I'll come out for Valentine's Day and we'll hang, but by then you might not be single as a pringle!
Ooo project?
Eh? What book? That's an odd request!
π: 0 β©: 1
It doesn't matter xD If you come out I'd stay with you all day :3
It's called "Wrath of the Dodo"
Not exactly my kind of book but I've been reading a little bit, and considering I actually know the author I'm surprised it's as good as it is. Still not great but whatever. It has a shit cover though, anything I come up with will be better than that x.x
π: 0 β©: 1
BWAHAHAHA
Wrath of the Dodo? THE EFF?!
What's the cover like? Who wrote it?
π: 0 β©: 1
It's a metaphor I'm sure x3 The guy has a weird sense of humor.

It's awful. It looks his 4 year old made it in PAINT.
π: 0 β©: 1
Β Fuck man, if a 4 year can do that I'd be screwed. That's a good drawing, but very bland.
Weird. Are you almost done?
π: 0 β©: 1
No it's not a drawing, it's just a photo with some weird effects.
Sorry that wasn't a good example x3
No I'm only like 80 pages in.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah I see, well then yeah it looks like his four year old did that in paint wtf.

Knowing the guy I'm kinda afraid I'm not gonna get anything back for doing it.
I told Kolten about it and he's like "Oh man I wouldn't trust him with anything that has to do with money"
π: 0 β©: 1
Who is it and why wouldn't you trust him?
π: 0 β©: 1
He's not very trustworthy, he does whatever he can to keep his end out of the water.
He's cheap, he charges a lot for whatever he does, and if he owes you anything it literally will take him 3 years to get it back to you.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ooo, yeah I wouldn't either.
Tell him to pay up first or no cover. You can send the book back too if you must that's bull if he doesn't pay. how much would he owe?
π: 0 β©: 1
Like for the book cover?
I have no idea. It'd be my first time doing something like that.
What I was thinking is I'd go ahead and just give him the cover and if it sells better soon then I can get a percent or something.
But if I bring that to him he'll just 'forget' about it later.
π: 0 β©: 1
That will be interesting.
Ah scumbag! He better pay up. Yeah he wouldn't give you the money.
π: 0 β©: 1
But I guess that kind of happens when you're first trying to make a career out of art.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's true. It sucks that it does!

Ok... This is like when you only get one present for your birthday. You weigh it, shake it, roll it aroiund in your hands,... but you just can't figureΒ out what it is, so you just unwrap it and open the box. Then you find there's like, 18 different presents inside, and they're everything you like!
I really like your line-art, and this sketch dump (can I call it that?) is totally, mind-blowingly good. Well, in my world, anyway. There's just so much AWESOME in one image! I love your characters and style.
(Is this too much? Did I go too far? Does this make me a fan-boy? Ah... Who cares? I want more... more... MORE!!!)
π: 0 β©: 1
That's gotta be the nicest and most descriptive way to explain a 'sketch dump'!
It's quite right! Save all the paper for another day and put it all down in one thing x3
Thank you so much!
I like my sketches more than my completely finished drawings it seems.
I don't know why, I like the unfinished, pencil look :3
π: 0 β©: 1
I completely agree with you about pencil sketches, although I have to admit, somehow, the coloring you did in this didn't detract from it at all.
