Big mama bear! I like it :3

Very nice pic~

Hot damn. We gunna see more of this bear?

I already have a series of pics in my head. It's just a matter of getting them sketched out into something I can work with :)

Hopefully with some sweet horse action :P :P

I would love to see her taking full control of the situation!

Oh, now this is gorgeous! I love the bear lady's outfit, especially her headband and her earrings and odd bits of jewelry and the pots and things hanging from her belt. It gives her a really nice sort of exotic look, but very practical and down-to-earth as well. The stone walls of her den, and the bookshelf in the background, are really nicely done, and I love the lighting for this piece and how it makes everything look so warm and comfortable. Which must be quite nice for Kalahari, being clad in nothing but his fur, there. It's a sweetly domestic sort of scene, and you've done an amazing job with everything!

Well said! :)

There's a nice little fire burning just out of frame, so it's quite nice and cozy in there :) Thanks! I went through a number of iterations of her outfit, really wanting it to be practical and interesting. Something almost ceremonial, but which she could wear daily. I've already got many more ideas for scenes in her den :)

Nice one here.

That is one big mama bear! Probably not someone you want to piss off.

No . . . Let's hope she stays friendly

Hell, I wouldn't even want to be 'lovingly reprimanded' by her! Her gentle spank would leave me unable to sit for a month!

OwO you should draw big bear ladies more often. Holy crap she looks so cuddly! <3

Totally :3 I really dig the size difference too, which I didn't really show off too much in this particular scene.

Not to sound like a perv but I would like to get comfy with her all night long.

I'm sure that could be TOTALLY platonic. And I'm sure it's not X3

Awww yeah that's really well done ^__^

Thanks, Kritter :D

Props to her clothier for somehow managing to make that stay up.

It might continue to hold, very precariously, for a few more seconds . . .

And then a seam splits or it falls off... seriously, that bustier is hanging on for dear life. Amazing control under pressure!

Woah the bear lady is gorgeous!

I hope this bear becomes a regular in your drawings. This image is awsome.

Bear lady will return :) Thanks, it's really nice to finally get her drawn like this.

Yay! Will look forward to that. She looks like the ultimate cuddlebear here.

Oh my, I like her.

I think there's gotta be a lot more of her . . . It's too much fun drawing those curves.

You know... this actually looks really cozy. The Bear's outfit looks comfortable, and the warm lighting lets us know the lil nude fox certainly isn't cold. I feel like I'm wrapped up in a blanket just looking at this.

Ooh, I'm happy the lighting worked out :D The watercolor was giving me a hard time at first, and didn't give off the cozy vibe I wanted. But this is exactly the feeling I was going for in the end :)

I think I'm in love.

Dear Goddess, she's beautiful.

I love your characters, there is such variety to them!

Oh, by all means!

Love this Ursine Earth Mother. She'd be a perfect personification of the spirit of a friend from thirty-odd years ago. And oh, that lady would know from ethnobotanicals -- she quit to become an herbalist.

Sometimes art matches reality in surprising ways :) Somehow it's easy for me to imagine such a person -- now if only they were a bear as well.

Oh, trust me, I think if she could be with us today, she would be delighted with being a Bear!

"you want some tea with that milk" *nudge nudge*

"and maybe a shake with those fries . . ."

Ahhhh it's a booby monster!

Oh my O:

Whoa, mama! (to quote Johnny Bravo).

Nice work!

Tres nifty in all ways! Especially the design and colours of the bear's outfit!

Thanks! I must have put as much time into her outfit as I spent getting her anatomy down. I really couldn't just drape her in plain robes!

I'd love to see more of this character.

Thanks :D I'll be happy to oblige.

Something tells me she's one mama bear who wouldn't mind him sleeping in her bed...

I feel comfy already

I already like this bear character, her outfit is so alluring, yet she clearly feel comfortable with that. :D
Also you captured the cozy atmosphere really well.

Thanks! I'm happy it works, on all points. She's definitely wearing those robes a little loose . . .

Really like her expression. She looks sooo sly, like something in that cup.

Well, it's probably not Earl Grey . . .

*ping!* i hear an elevator to heavenly district here.

Hehehe

Ooh nice. I definitely look forward to more of the bear lady.

You really pulled out all the stops with this Kalahari! Well done!

How many hours, if you don't mind me asking?

I really couldn't just go halfway with her :D This was about 15 hours from concept to completion, but it didn't help how many times I was forced away from the drawing board.

Oh mai...this lady of the apothecary, is a goddess!

I love the clothing style, it feels like a mix of native american-and Chinese nomads.

Thanks :D I tried to give her a unique clothing design, something inspired by some real nomadic peoples but still very much its own thing.

Well, my skilled artist. As I am planning on learning the art of sewing. I pray you decide to get on a bit of a designer kick. I would LOVE to try my hand at these designs

I never do know what to say about the amazing art you post. But I love the big bear lady. Her outfit is just so pretty, and it looks so comfortable, and I love how sweet and rather motherly she looks. The detail on her outfit and on the stone wall behind her is just breathtaking, and I adore the size difference between her and Kalahari. It's kind of cool to see a bit more of a nod toward some of the large differences in size between various species, and it's just kind of a cool theme all on its own, too. They're both so very pretty, and they seem to be quite well matched for each other, at least as friends. Gorgeous work!

Thanks so much! For a long time I wanted to add a little size difference between characters to show how distinct each species could be. I'm trying to add some anatomical differences besides that while still keeping them quite anthro. It's not so easy in scene's where everyone's a fox though XD It's a lot of fun to play with, and I'm hoping to show the two of them in a way that emphasizes the size difference even more.

A warning to Kalahary, dont let her top or you'll die of snu-snu.(crushed pelvis)

Some people have picked out an ideal way to die. This doesn't seem like the worst option . . .

love this bear gal! We need more big bear ladies in the fandom!

We totally do! I'm off skinny bears for good -- they really need that extra fluff :D

Bears are super sexy and cute when chubby

Totally agreed :)

What's better then a big mamma bear? Big mamma bear with hot cocoa.
Awesome work 😋

It makes me long for winter . . . :)

if i had her to snuggle with i would long for winter to.

Big bear ladies are love.

Totally :D

Looks quite nice. The feel is really like in some of the Central Asian countries I've been to.

I'm very curious now :O I understand there's a strong shamanic tradition in some of those areas. It would be really amazing to visit in its own right.

Yeah, it mostly remains in Mongolian and Siberian areas. There are also some remaining Tengrian beliefs in Kazakhstan, for example.

BEAR! <3 So happy to see a bear from you, I have such a warm fuzzy soft spot for bears. You did such a great job with her design, as well as fantastic work with the background and watercolor in general, which I've always found to be incredibly finicky to work with. Great work as always!

Thanks :D The watercolor was being very disagreeable at first. It just took a little getting used to this new brand.

I was sketching out a ton of bears trying to get this kind of build (most of which won't see the light of day), but I think I finally managed something that gives that soft comfy look I love about them :)

Now that's a momma bear damn.

The only kind of bear for me

That is one impressive big lady!

Beautiful Momma Bear. I assume that she was the destination for Kal in "Fox Tracks"? Hope that she was able to assist him in his research. Which would explain why he in the fur, nude that is. Great scene, great art, and a whole load of very nice detail. THE COLONEL

That's exactly it! I was working on an introductory piece showing the two of them meeting outside her place, but I wasn't really happy with how it was going. I have a narrative in mind for them, which I'll try to keep going.

I think she's awesome Cal...

V.

Thanks :) It's great to finally finish a picture of her rather than sink all my time into prep sketches XD

What's the Bear's name?

Totally fair question . . . I don't know it yet :P As I draw more of her, my hope is it'll come to me.

There's a lot of her to like.

Lovely work!

Could you share some watercolor tips?

Awesome as always.

i love it

That momma bear figure is ON POINT~

oh what a lovely bearess!

That's one curvy mumma bear! Pour me somethin' sweet!

I like her design.

I came across this pic on e621 a while back and had to look for you here.

This lady is enchanting, and your art is absolutely lovely. You have a new major fan...!

Very well done! And the bear lady looks perfect!

All I can think of is that scene from The Simpsons Movie. "Thank you, Boob Lady!"
