Finally done with this one, geez. @ w @
I started the sketch of this a couple of days before Ohayocon and got it inked, and added some of the color while I was working at my table. Once I got back to school I was free enough to finish the coloring last night and get it all prettied up for posting.

I felt like drawing Saleeda dancing or at least in the middle of dancing doing something flexible, so I ended up with this. XD Now, by no means is she a contortionist, she's just flexible from all the dance training she does and partly due to her feline nature. *snerksnerk* I landed on this pose after thinking about the Turkish Drop performed in bellydance along with watching a couple of ballet videos on youtube. The final result - some kind of bizarre side bend while she's touching her foot to her head!

The only thing I wish I'd done differently was to incorporate the purple somewhere else in the picture besides the border thing. :C
