Oh, that's awesome!
And thank you, I'm really flattered. No one has ever asked me for permission to draw my fursona. I asked another once, but it's not done yet. I can send you another picture (my former avi) as a more full-body reference, if you want
And thanks, this is just kinda how I draw. I usually do it digitally, but I draw the sketches on paper, since I find it easier. I also shade, but I didn't do it with this one since... well, it's on paper
I don't want to advertise about myself, but I do have an art thread, if you're interested to check it out
