Stuff'd

For all my wonderful friends.

I can't believe I actually finished this in two days...

I think I've always intended, but I've never got around to making a tribute for my friends so here you go: all my friends turned into animals which are then turned into stuffed animals. And just in time for New Years, too.

Have fun guessing what the animals are what who they're supposed to represent. Some of them are more obvious than others, such as Inkeh just being her fursona, but for the majority, I had to come up with an animal counterpart. I really hope I didn't forget anyone because I don't really like vectoring. 

But yes, how often do you see me vectoring anything? Uh, never. But I thought it suited the picture I was trying to make, so I went through the pain staking process of fiddling with the pen tool to produce with (with some cheap tricks thrown in of course).

Original sketch. It's missing some people because I couldn't fit them on the paper so I drew it in PS.

I might make a wallpaper-friendly version where I just isolate each character on their own, because a lot of detail is blocked off with the layering, and that makes me sad considering all the work I put into it.
Speaking of layers, I think I used the most layers I've ever had for a picture, topping at around 150.

Thanks everyone for making my year awesome. I really do appreciate you all.
