Krystal pinup tribute (Patreon)

*UPDATE* I realized the next day that I forgot Krystal's iconic tramp stamp tattoo, so I've updated the images with the fixed version.

For KRAM this month I did a remake / tribute of the famous Krystal pinup render that Rare put out prior to the release of Star Fox Adventures. I remember first seeing it in an issue of Nintendo Power 20 some odd years ago. A lot of boys became men when that issue came out!

When I did the Krystal meet and greet pic, I did a fairly quick digital painting that appeared on the posted that Jake was getting signed. I really wanted to do a more finished version that I could post separately. It took me a long time to get around to it and I actually ended up more or less redoing the whole thing at some point (especially after I decided I wanted to do a nude variant, and separating the clothes onto a new layer was quite the process). I'm really happy with how the final piece turned out and I got to do some experimentation with changing up my style a little bit. I have quite a lot of nostalgia for this pose and I hope you all enjoy my spin on it now that you can see the full image as I imagined it.

(While I was streaming the work on Picarto I also got a request for a no-tail version. I love Krystal's big fluffy tail but hey, to each their own. The file's attached below. ;3)
