I was pretty sick yesterday, hence the delay. OTL

I will have some more sketches for you tonight once the sun calms down and stops trying to melt me ;)

That sounds pretty good! I will be moving onto the actual sketch next, but I want to make sure before I start that the general shape you're seeing there looks good right? Did yo want the inner lace so be pretty close to the original reference? (Flowers and swirls and stuff) or did you want it to be different? C:

Oh yeah sorry. Shape and design are both lovely how you've done them so far! So yes, flowers and swirls are perfect. Hope you're feeling better!

The shape and area of the HA's neck bothers me so much. There basically is no neck and it's really giving me a struggle. I refined the original + I did a few versions with the cat flipped around. Let me know if any of these look good to you. LINK I am also kind of thinking maybe it may look more like a collar if I drew an actual collar? And then put the cat on like a marking/pattern? But I'm not sure if that's something you'd want so I didn't do that yet. Please let me know if these don't look like what you want. Stuff with incredibly small details like this are nearly impossible for me to get all situated. Some stuff has to be omitted in order to make the item look good because of the size constraints.

Official sketch time! Let me know if this looks good! Feel free to give me comments and critiques on it before you approve me to inking stage. LINK

would the face/head of 3 on the body of 4 be okay? i think a mix between those two would be perfect. i'm sorry it's giving you so much trouble n-n;

Like this? C: LINK

perfect! n-n

Am I okay to ink then? I may want to try a few different techniques for inking so it may take me a bit to have another update P:

yes c: i'm really excited to see how it all comes out.

Okay just one little nitpick, is there any chance you could adjust the placement of the flowers a bit? I love them but the current placement makes them look a bit like a bra/pasties :P

There are quite a few things I could do to adjust these, so let me know if you have any ideas on how you want them moved. n_n I could make the outline less thick so they blend in more. I could move their position a bit. I could try to overlay some of the other design elements so they fit in a little better. Or lastly I could always change the pattern entirely on the chest part so it doesn't match the original ref (since the original does have flowers in this placement lol)

Totally didn't notice that was the original design, hah! Umm, if you could even just shift them upwards a small bit so it's not like directly over the nipple area that would be fine!

This is a notice!

I will unavailable starting right now, through Friday. The time has come to get a new computer, as this one is struggling to keep contact with my tablet and some of my programs. I just wanted to give you guys a head's up as this applies to things like regular responses AND commissions. All work will continue as normal as soon as the new computer is up and running AND all my files are safely situated, as well as all my programs.

I'm a very nervous person when it comes to big changes like this, which is why I'm taking a break from responses. I want to make sure this goes as smoothly as possible with no additional stress. Tonight is for getting all my files ready for the move, and tomorrow we're getting the computer itself.

Thank you all for your understanding and I'll see you all again Fri-Sat!

TL:DR New computer, gunna be dealing with that! You're still free to comment / mail / etc me but I will not be responsive until sometime Friday!

Thanks for the update! Good luck with the new computer. Hopefully the move will go as smoothly as possible. :)

Thanks for the update! Yay to new computer!

Good luck! And fantastic HA right now!!! <3

Thank you all so much! I am 'back' but I'm going to be taking the rest of the evening off just to de-stress. It's been... Not as much fun as I'd have liked it to be to get everything set up and I just really need the break tonight to relax and get my emotions back in order!

(pinging you three specifically for this since you're waiting on me)

no worries and no rush! n-n i meant to reply to your earlier notice but I'm busy packing to move and forgot e-e;

no rush hun! Take your time

Horray updates!!! Also PLEASE!! If you notice anything wrong with your update, let me know. New computer can sometimes = unique mistakes as I'm relearning my settings / trying to get them all set up normally. n_n

How does this look? C: LINK

Inks! Please let me know if you want any changes! And also what white you'd like me to match or else I'll be using the white from the LINK

I moved the flowers up and made them a little bit smaller so they're less imposing. How does this look? LINK This is still the sketch of course, so I will be cleaning up some of the lines and if you want, I can also remove the bolder lines so that all of the lace looks about the same in thickness n_n

flamingo pink please :* i misread b/c i'm a dolt i'm happy with white or pink but if white could be matched this white if possible
