Citru Redesign 1

wanted to post something after a few months of silence.
I've been going up and down with art and have hit a few walls, mostly because of my loathing for lining (but I've been trying the line tool instead of manually doing it and it's helped to relieve some of the stress. I'll probably try to mix both in particularly when lining fur or hair)
 I've been very preoccupied with revamping stories and characters, doing lots of research and I've finally been able to actually write out some chapters, which is really enjoyable. I've had to deal with a lot of difficult rl issues that still aren't resolved, but at least most are works in progress.
Not sure when or if I'll be posting any more art, because most of them are sketchy and I still dislike uploading here. But I just wanted to pop back in and say hello.

A concept for a redesign of my persona, the human hair was beginning to feel a little silly to me (though at the same time a little weird without it, ugh). I'm still fooling around with different color schemes, these colors are based off a classic champagne horse. I also tried to incorporate some subtle features that were to my likeness such as the nose and eye shape, which was ridiculously hard to translate into a cheetah
