Description
This came out a lot better than my first pic in this vein. Thanks again to and for helping me past some anatomy issues!Story:
Vance smiled. “Congratulations, Carmen, you just learned the hard way why it's a bad deal to take the Goathead Valley shortcut! Well, at least they're only flat on the bottom!”
Carmen rolled her eyes at the cliché joke. “This isn't that funny, Vance!”
“I would almost say that it's hysterical!”
Carmen's ears wilted and she put on her best hurt kitten look. Unfortunately the tall grey fox had his back to her. “Vance! What am I supposed to do now?”
“I'll head back to the ranch and get the big compressor, tire irons, a better jack. I should probably hit town and see if they have a set of tubes. With all those sidewall punctures, I don't know if we can reliably fix all the holes. You stay here and keep an eye on the Jeep. I should be back in a few hours.”
“I, what!??!” Carmen goggled, her ears fell flat, but her tail shook. “Leave me here?!?”
“Well, you did get all the thorns out. There's a decent mini compressor in the Jeep, but I don't know how long they will hold air. You can see how far you can get. Just be careful that you don't shred the sidewalls.”
“But, why not let me ride in your car?”
“Because you make the cutest expression of dismay I've ever seen, and I want to see how long I can keep you guessing!”
Vance had enough of a lead to escape Carmen's initial lunge.
“Come here you jerk! I'm going to claw that irritating smirk right off your smug snout!”

Her expression is adorable, but I'd want to claw his face off if was in her shoes too though I'm *usually* good at avoiding the temptation of shortcuts cuz it often involves dark alleys or pricky plants.

Nicely drawn, you made out drawings very well from the lines... Is there a secret I might learn frm it, or a technique of it?
Poor Carmen seems to got bad luck that day... Perhaps a black cat crossed the road before her...?

Thanks! =^^= (and for the favorite!)
Technique developed through observing others, actual objects, and practice!
(What Carmen doesn't know is the first time Vance went through Goadhead Valley, not only did he pop all four tires, but he managed to puncture the lower radiator hose, and break the fan belt! =^^= )

Thanks for the tip, thought it is just hard a few times, when never-seen things are the topic.
Oh, Vance also a bit unlucky in this way...? Poor him... Thought I can dream and adore him being in the same situation as Carmon now.

Nice colouring. with an interesting story to paste to it.
jerk hahaha.
could give ya a pointer.
Vance, you'd need to give him a butt else it does look like he's running backwards.

Thanks! =^^=
Ah, I thought there was something missing down there!
Maybe he already laughed his butt off when he saw Carmen's predicament?

Now he has to find out where it went!

Wait... I'm trying to remember. Where's the rest of the story?
Nice work on the poses and the anatomy. The jeep looks good, too! You might want to make your shading paths a bit wider so they're more noticeable (like on Vance's arms, etc.). All in all, nice work!

Heh, I don't think I posted the rest of that tale, this is the tip of a rather larger iceberg... =^^=
Yeah, I see what you mean on Vance's arm, I had to redo that a few times and was getting my layers tangled...
Thanks for the favorite! =^^=

You always hurt the one you love!
(Albeit, he's the one who got her the jeep, and he'll either be shelling out for the repairs too! =^^=
