Cannibal fluffies. I love them. You love them. Or you’re a liar. Or you’re wrong. Ever since Shadysmarty’s wonderful Dash comic I’ve been in love with the little bastards, and today I decided to make a little tribute, both to the old masters who’ve left us, and to the new talent that’s sprung up. New to me at least, I was gone for a long time.
First off, the original and best, Jessibell herself. I’ve wanted to draw fan art of her since the first time I saw her. I even tried it once, but I wasn’t too happy with the result. I don’t think I ever posted it.
Second, Miss Nibbles Jackson by @SqueakyFriend, a strong contender for cutest fluffy ever created. I couldn’t really capture the essence of the original, but I may come back to this one.
Third, Stranger by @Leatherfeather, who works magic with incredibly minimalistic art (I know you’re only showing off a fraction of your power, you fiend). This Fillyjonk-looking thing was very striking and deceptively difficult to draw. By the time I realized how much I had misread the design, it was too late to go back.
Last but not least, Cattail by @FluffyChimera, who’s produced a lot of great art for having only been here a few months (you better not be a secret fluffy veteran, or I’ll look like a chump). Since your reference picture wasn’t really shaded in the traditional sense, I decided on a whim to experiment. This picture has the distinction of being my first ever attempt at soft shading (Jessibell back there being my second). I don’t know why he’s making that face, I was just getting tired of drawing fluffies smiling for the camera.
Bonus picture. I found that old Jessibell drawing I never bothered to upload back in the day. It’s a piece of fluffy history at this point.
