As I recall recieving and reading a note from my friend, Mina-Foxkey-Star, in March of 2011, telling me that he really liked my "Diddy Kong Racing" fan-character, Coco the Tiger, and would also be excited to see me draw her driving a kart, hovercraft, and/or an airplane... I had idemediately found what he said, to be a great idea for me to draw those sort of things, so...
Here's a picture that I drew of Coco, in her Anthromorphic White Tiger form (and also, with her "regular" hair fringe, rather than the Sailor Moon-inspired "heart-shaped" fringe style that I've drawn twice while drawing her in her human form - sweet-blessings.deviantart.com… & sweet-blessings.deviantart.com… though I did draw her pony-tail in the Sailor Chibi Moon-inspired style, which was previously done in my "Coco's Party Dress" deviation), driving in her hovercraft.
However, the hardest part was, coming up with a color for her vehicle... although, I've had quite a few options; it was either going to be Light Green or Light Blue color (but I was already aware that those two color choices have been used already, by Banjo & Tiptup for their vehicles in Diddy Kong Racing), Dark Pink/Magenta (even though in Diddy Kong Racing, Pipsy's vehicles were lighter pink, and as a matter of fact, when I tried out dark pink for Coco's vehicle, I wasn't too sure about the result, so I decided to let it go), or even Light Purple (that would be at least a tiny bit lighter than the colors of her clothing, to prevent it all from blending together)... so when I went for Light Purple, I was very pleased with the result, as well as how I've added some Pink touch-ups, and I actually find it to suit really nicely for my character.
I've also drawn two other linearts of Coco, including one of her driving in a kart, along with another one of her driving in an airplane... they are currently still in progress in my sketchbook, and should be continued to be worked on anytime soon or later, but I'm really happy to have completed this artpiece.
I'm very happy with how this turned out. I hope that you'll like it, my friends! 
The lineart for this was first started on sometime in March or early April 2011, and completed & submitted in June 2011. ^_^

About the character:
Full Name: Coconut "Coco" Camellia Tiger (her nickname, Coco (which is actually the name she is mainly called by) is short for Coconut, and she was given that name due to such light colors of her fur, as well as being born and raised in a tropical location (a place where especially coconuts can be grown & found)... she is the color of coconut milk, while her stripes/markings are the color of a coconut shell, but more of a lighter brown (though in her "Diddy Kong Racing DS" design, her stripes appear to be dark brown/black), and she is middle-named after a Camellia, a flower that comes in a color that matches her own. Trivia Fact: In the earlier years, approximately 2002, Coco was originally named "Bijou", according to my own personal thoughts, up until her 2009 revival, I have publicly, officially & permanently renamed her Coco, therefore, "Bijou" would be her prototype name.)
Gender: Female
Family: Crispin (father), Crystal (mother)
Species: Snow Tiger, she would appear to be just about the same breed of tiger as Timber, except that she is the color white (with lightly colored markings/stripes) and of course, is female, though however, according to my personal head canons, I would consider white tigers of that breed to be rare, which could explain why Coco is from a foreign location.
Birthday: March 29th
Birthstone/Zodiac Sign: Emerald/Aries
Location/Homeplace: A tropical beach/island called Isle Paradise, far away from any other location of the Rare Island Chain (Donkey Kong Island, Timber's Island, Isle O' Hags, etc.), in which is considered the farthest out of all of the aforementioned official locations of the Rare Island Chain.
Appearance: Long platinum blonde hair (usually done in a single ponytail, and sometimes tied with a pink bow with white polka dots), emerald green eyes, wears a lilac-purple pill-box hat with a pink ribbon tied around it with a pink heart pin attached to it, additional ice blue eye shadow, and a lilac-purple swimsuit (that contains a bandeau-style top with a matching lilac-purple skirt).
More information & details coming soon...
