Bathtime for Nanaki

Seeing as how my little sister ~Setsuko's birthday is comin' up, I figured I'd do an India ink rendition of her favorite FFVII character. Halfway through the drawing, I realized too late that I had completely forgot to include Nanaki's feathers so I decided to make it so he's going to get a bath. (Can't take a bath with feathers all tangled up in your fur, ne?) At least I remembered his earring.

And, I know he's got tattoos on his body, but his concept art makes it look as though the tattoos were lower on his front legs, hence why they are lacking at this angle.

Media: medium acid-free drawing paper, super black India ink, 4 different artist nibs.
