@Chaos-Mirror: For this newer style of shading/highlighting, I use a brush meant to make fur strokes, them blend with a shader brush. Both of these I found in the Clip Studio asset store. I can get the names for them when I'm at my PC again. :3

Day 24: Stars
Playing catch-up, so you get 2 today. :D
This is kind of a revamp of an old form of the character that would eventually become Helaine/Nytehawk. It was a story thing back then, but I can't recall why...

@snowhawk: Shader brush? Are they like the typical solid or fuzzy brush? Eager to know which brushes they are. ^^ Wonder if Clip Studio brushes can be integrated into GIMP...will have to look into that.
@Chaos-Mirror: Not quite why my brain typed shader when I meant blender, though neither of those is what the brush is called... Its been way too hot lately x_x
This is the hair brush I generally use for shading/highlighting now: https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1917912 And this is the brush I use to blend things out: https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1391024
I don't know if either can be put into GIMP. That'd be a search for Google.
A bummer you can't recall the story bit. She's beautiful. How do you get that super soft look in the main and tail of your characters?
