Artist's Comments

...Finishing/posting this is my birthday present to myself.

..'cause when you get up at 6 in the morning multiple times to work on a picture you either love the picture or the person it's for to death OR you're just crazy.

Well I mean I am crazy but it's the first option too.

BUT THIS IS FOR MY BESTEST FRIEND EVER SILKY. <3333


...A-AND I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY I FORGOT AGAIN YAY.

:icongriffsnuff:
you have such awesome potential to do so much great :D

Your lines are always so beautifully done. Im not sure if you have had any basic drawing, color and shading theory, but you sure know how to repeat colors. That is an awesome skill to have because it creates balance in your drawing. Making that window behind the characters, helps the picture to not tilt towards the left, the same with adding the light wall and leaves on the right also helps. So therefor i think if you had made white lilies on the pads (which looks awesome, you really got their shape right ) you would repeat the white in their eyes and they wouldnt pop out that much. Also if you made some blue paintings or something ont he wall behind them.

Shading, Its clearly that the light is coming from the right upper corner, and i love the shading you have done on the gray characters green fur, Just a tips, Dont be afraid to go very dark with shading, expecially when you use dark lines or have dark objects in your picture, the same with light, you can go up to even white were the light shines most. And also add slight light coming from the left and reflections from the water, it really creates 3D or realistic lightning ( most things get reflected ) Shading is the area were i would love to see you work on because you would do it so wonderfully

The water, i love the color you choose, but when its so still it would have alot more reflections from even the characters would have been seen slightly.

And my favourite parts is , I LOVE how you framed in the bottom of the picture witht thoose lilypads, i really love it, it makes the picture look steady and the bottom doesnt disapear in a way xD , that sounds probly weird. Your faces sdgs They are so adorable ;W; Your sona is so bright and awsome, and i love orange sonas xD And i can say that your sona is the one of few here on DA that look awesome with hair. I LOVE how you have that hair, because noone else has it, they always have the same hair and things on their characrers, i must say its really original and cute :D

Owerall i really enjoy your style and drawings, it brings us happy and joy to see so many bright and positive drawings. Keep up the awesome work ^U^

LIKE AWESOME~
okay everything is like SUPERAWESOMEFANTASTICADASFSDGDG
the pose is really awesome and the water is like RAZZLEDAZZLEFLAZZE. and the background is so cool, all jungle-booky. butttttttt what i would critique on is the shading. I think it SHOULD be a little more darker, since the light is shining down and you can seeeee it, there should be more shades in the blocksss and the animalsss. but the lightening is really awesome so i'll give you points for that.
ALSO THOSE FISHIES FSDFDFGFHf
lolbutimustsaywhypink. and the Lilli pads are really nice and shaded realllly epicly like awesome, good jobbb c': :thumbsup:

I hold my ground,
and don't make a sound.
I'm silence and stealth,
a wolf and proud.
I run with the wind,
and howl at the moon.
I sing with the stars,
a slow haunting tune.

They say the eyes of a wolf transfix you.

It's true.

FFFFF this is still amazing I hope you know that hdsgfjsdf

THE DETAIL. I mean, I WOULD GIVE UP MY SPOT AS FIRST COMMENT JUST TO GO ON ABOUT IT.
The surface looks AWESOME I love how it's reflective but you can still tell that there's light filtering beneath the surface!
And THAT TOP RIGHT CORNER STILL LOOKS ALL PAINTEDY AND AMAZING.
(Twi does look fluffy you crazy butt it's amazing <333 )
The shading is stunning as usual and Fred just PULLS EVERYTHING TOGETHER AND AUTOMATICALLY DOUBLES THE EPICNESS.
:+favlove: FTW. <3
