shakura pose WIP (Patreon)

this project has been grueling but I think the worst is over. there are just many set backs to this new toon shader I have been working on, worst of being the hard crashes i experience but also, shading the real fur, not just the painted texture. most of my trouble has been blending the real fur with the textured fur.  I have tried all sorts of settings and techniques but I think I have something down at last. to avoid taking to long on this project, I want to have something posted by the 20th, if something still looks odd I am going to fix it all in photoshop. sorry for the wait!
