Question 1: In a day and age where photorealism is becoming the new norm, I have always more appreciated cel shading and cartoony designs. While I think textures and models becoming more and more detailed is a great technological advancement, cel-shading has always been more visually appealing to me, as well as allowing for more freedom in design.

Question 2: I really like the way she textures fur patterns on her characters. Making fur look good can be difficult, especially with textures. She uses a lot of blurred, blended lines overlaying a gradient to create a fantastic look.
