"Just the Essentials"
Our intrepid Juno has managed to get Petra the civet out for a day hike. Neither are strangers to the outdoors, but Petra doesn't usually go for hours at a time--she apparently needs frequent motivation to keep up the pace. And at the end of the day they have plush sofa and some choice beverages waiting. After a shower.

While we have pitifully few options for clothing-optional hiking (a particular Harz trail in Germany comes to mind, and it's the only way to truly hike in the middle of summer!) Juno has the luxury of wearing more or less whatever she likes. The further out of town, the less it tends to be. I love seeing characters wearing hiking shoes while otherwise nude--it's such a contrast, and a total delight :) Of course, I love all kinds of non-traditional outfits, but this is something I never get tired of. About time I drew some of it!!

After a pretty nonproductive summer, I really wanted to just draw something completely for myself without any pressure. That's why the background is pretty bare--I didn't want to go another X days without finishing a picture XD

Copic marker, pen, gel pen on 9x12" Bristol board. Background color in post-processing.
