Week 284! (January 20 Monthly Drawings) (Patreon)

THIS MARKS PAYMENT FOR THE WEEK OF 1/12-1/18.

Monthly drawings for January, first ones for the new decade.

Only had one request, which was from Andrew the Emo Wolf, and it's the top one. To quote, it's "Fox Kale eating ramens and also mad as hell, snarling at them because there’s no flavor in them, just plain hot noodles and somebody is pranking him". I'm not entirely sure where the idea comes from or why it was requested, but there it is. I've eaten dry ramen as a cracker before, but I've never had cooked ramen with no flavoring added, so I imagine it's not super appealing. Fox Kale clearly doesn't, but Fox Kale probably also hasn't actually eaten "real" food before outside of maybe experiencing it as part of Kale's mind, so who knows.

The other drawing I decided to do was a reversal of races, an alternate sort of universe look where Kale is the only furry in the world and everyone else are humans. You'd think this would be a thing that I or others would have done more, since a furry in a world of humans is maybe the more common story trope than a human in a world of furries, but I don't think it has, or it has but a long time ago so I don't remember. Still, it's nice to illustrate that Kale as a silver fox is clearly not just Fox Kale, and neat to draw Bruce and Campy as humans. Maybe hard to tell but I tried to give them different nose and face shapes to differentiate them from human Kale, Bruce with a rounder nose and face while Campy has a bit more of a pointier jaw and angular nose. I feel like that sort of variation is lost when some artists draw humans (much in the same way furry artists can draw all furries with the same sort of muzzle or something), and I don't really get the opportunity to draw humans besides Kale anymore, so it's something I wanted to actively try and fix/change, even if it's just for this little drawing. I will say though that Bruce and Campy might be a little plain without all their markings and whiskers and fur and so forth. Was tempting to give them both chin hair as growing teenagers tend to have, but I felt that was something they'd probably get a year or two from where FH currently is.

REMINDER that if you'd like to request a doodle or chibi for next month's set of drawings, all you need to do is comment on this post with your idea(s)!
