Wanda playing Mighthyena

Description

>> Huge filesize warning! <<

An effect of my other round of loose experimentations. Normally I'm not into Pokemon stuff, but I saw some nice anthro renditions of the Mighthyena (especially fav.me/d5ce0hs ) and so I applied excessive amount of fur dye to my poor old Wanda to make her look similar. ;)

This was in part a preparation for my other picture, and in part a test, how much a color scheme affects the perceived identity of a character. That is, will she look like a different person with the change only to her pelage?

Generally, the answer seems to be yes. I won't be over-using this method, maybe except for some loose pics as this one, but there's something else to it: planning things in advance, it may be possible to create a generic 'base model', from which further variants will be quickly derived, by changing the colors, but also anatomy/geometry and fur & hair combing style. Wanda won't do here however, as she's too specific for that.

I was unsure, whether to post it or scrap it, after all it was conceived as a mere test. ;) And it haz errors. But having these renders gathering dust on my hard drive, I thought I can put them together and display here.

Even more so, when I came to a conclusion that I actually can *lower* my standards a little bit – overt perfectionism is only harmful to productivity, and it hampers progress. :P
