Team Shinobi - Whitnee Squirrel

Here is a picture that I did of my "T.U.F.F. Puppy" character, Whitnee Squirrel, wearing a new outfit that she'd wear as part of a team of heroes-for-hire who work for T.U.F.F. called 'Team Shinobi', which she would actually lead on her own. I was practically in the mood to create my own unique team of heroes after being inspired by other teams that were created by other fan artists, such as Team Katswell and Team Flux. Because I was able to create Whitnee as a ninja warrior who is incredibly skilled at fighting, I decided that she would be able to teach other heroes to become as skilled as her, thus giving her a chance to become the leader of a team that would suit her well. Here is a description/bios that explains a little more about my character:

Whitnee Squirrel - A female white squirrel from Japan who happens to be an incredibly skilled ninja warrior, and she prefers using her skills and abilities to fight crime as well as helping anyone who is in trouble. Ever since she was a young girl, Whitnee has been gifted with the art of ninjistu at a very early age, and she was able to perfect her skills even more after growing up by doing some training with a Sensei who lived not too far outside her hometown. After spending an entire year training alongside her Sensei, Whitnee was then ready to put her skills and abilities to good use. And so, she decided to travel all the way to the city of Petropolis, U.S.A. after hearing about all kinds of villains and bad guys who would constantly wreak havoc on a daily basis. Whitnee was able to use her ninja abilities to help her new friends, Dudley Puppy and Kitty Katswell, by defeating three of Petropolis' most heinous villains (Verminious Snaptrap, The Chameleon, and Birdbrain), and she became a T.U.F.F. agent herself afterwards. Even though she's able to beat up criminals with her swift movements and agility, Whitnee is actually a very calm soul who doesn't like seeing her friends in danger or even fighting with each other over something pointless, and she's usually the first one to help out whenever she can. As the leader of the newly-developed team known as 'Team Shinobi', she wears a red and white uniform, and her weapon of choice is a pair of twin sais. (Preferred Voice Actor: Tress MacNeille)

When I was figuring out which design to use for the Team Shinobi uniforms that Whitnee and her teammates would be wearing, I decided to draw them completely based on Kitty's trademark outfit, except each uniform would feature a different color for each member of the team, and the belt buckles would also feature the team's insignia to go with it. As I was coloring this picture in, I was able to use a red and white texture for the background, which is done in a dynamic style. The picture turned out really nice after being completed, and it's sure to please my friends and everyone else as well.
