I've spent the past few days in school working on this. In case you're thinking, no, I don't have any art classes. Head visual arts teacher says I suck. Done in all prismacolor pencils (except for a clicky/mechanical No.2 pencil for lineart).
For this, I was originally making a "movie poster" type picture for a fanfic I was going to write where at one point, Kyuubi and Manda are fluffily/scalily mauling each other. It was really supposed to be sort of half-assed, but then I spontaneously decided the lineart was pretty and actually put effort into it.
All drawn from memory, no referenced used until the very end when I needed to check the color on the inside of the ears. In the original sketch, the hind legs weren't visible, which is why they appear sort of awkward now. Sadly, the scanners at school, although much better at detail than mine, tend to drain out color. (description copied because I'm lazy, picture originally finished on Dec 1, 2005)
