TED Talk Tessa (Patreon)

"I want to thank you for coming to my TED talk tonight, and hopefully you now understand why our world leaders need to act decisively to eliminate squirrels."

   This is another of pieces I started during my most recent Picarto stream. Also it's a Patron reward for Caerdwyn. The theme of the stream was the zodiac animals of the Lunar New Year, and one of those animals is the dog. 

   If you've tuned into my Picarto streams you are aware of Executive Producer Tessa which is Caerdwyn's rough collie. For awhile I've wanted to draw an anthro versions of Tessa. So that's what I did.

   When I started on the piece I had no idea what exactly I was go to draw. I just started with the first pose that popped into my head. Then a few minutes later I decided to put her in a sweater.  It was then I realized that I could see her standing up on a stage giving a presentation to an audience. TED Talk Tessa!
