Artist's Comments

So.... here is my second commission for *Y-Esk and another one of her fabulous characters, Nadiev. :D :dance: I'd done so many sketches of him, it's a shame it took me so long to gather my thoughts and plunge into the final painting. ^^;

So this is all acrylic and watercolors on 140 lb hot press Fabriano Artistico Watercolor paper, 8 1/2 x 11". :nod: The very trickiest part about this painting is that particular soft beige-cream of his coat. Reminds me of when I did this piece here [link] and took a good few days to come up with the color for the cream colored pallanoph on the left! :giggle: So that's why I hope this looks okay. If not, I can always go back into it... that's what's great about working with acrylics!

Here's the previous commission I did for her, featuring her character Hadayne! [link] I love painting these guys. :aww:

I think I might have to add some darker shadows into the background near the bottom left corner to help him stand out a bit more. That shouldn't be too difficult, I don't think...

Any thoughts, comments, critiques, etc? I'm glad to hear them, as always. :D

How pretty!

I'm really attracted to the texture of the dark brown hair coming down the back of the head. It looks silky!

XD It took me a minute to notice the roses (since I was gawking at the hair that doesn't surprise me), those are awesome! Really love how they turned out.

Ohh beautiful work once again ^_^ The fur looks so light and flowy, and I just adore the background <3 I also love the play of light in the 'mane' in the behind.

I don't think the corner needs more shadows, IMHO the chara stands out better on the lighter-shaded background than a darker. The chara has dark points too and stronger shadow work on it already.
Also, the light bg gives more lighter feeling to the painting too :)

(I'm sooo going to note you now, I can't keep the idea inside my head anymore :XD: )

I feel insane every single time I'm asked to compromise
‘Cause I'm afraid and stuck in my ways and that’s the way it stays

:giggle: This one was from a little while back... But it would seem I have a few newer ones being suggested, tentatively. :nod: I'm always grateful for others' support, it's been so helpful. :aww:
