Description My part on an ACEO trade with the sweetie 8Ryuu8  
It's her character Libri, who's a godess of bloom. We were near the arrival of spring when we combined this trade, if I remember right, so I made Libri in a spring setting, complete with some blooming flowers and flower crown I loved drawing her, she's such an interesting and pretty character!
I'm very proud of this one, for some reason I really like the light and color tones on this. I've used watercolor pencils for some details such as the fur and strings of grass on this one. Also used acrylics for the white spots and some corrections on the flowers.
Sorry for the wait on my part, but I really hope it was worth it and you like it!

Watercolors, watercolor pencils, white acrylics and ink pen over Canson Montval paper 300g,  size 6,4 x 8,9cm.

You didn't forget about the daises!!  
I've just realised this is the first ACEO of Libri I've ever gotten, thanks for such a beautiful work. c: 
I didn't wait long at all! And the wait was totally worth it, I really enjoy her skull and the vivid colours of flower crown in contrast of green background- can't wait to have it in my hands and see it IRL, I'll let you know when it arrives. C:
Thanks for a lot for trade!!

Nope, I didn't! (but only because I wrote it somewhere, though haha)
Oh, really? You're welcome! I'm glad you like it C:
I've referenced the skull from a photo of a deer one so it ended up being the most realistic thing in this, haha. 
I love the colors in this one too, it's probably one of my favorite ACEOs so far in that aspect. 
I'll be shipping it today! -runs to post office with your letter-
Aaand you're welcome! Thank you too, your part was also incredible and I hope it arrives soon!

I always reference from a photo, deer skull is rather diffucult object to draw from imanigation. Things look way better with using reference overall.
I've been checking mail everyday but it seems Europe-Brazil connection is very slow given the hint Ziege hasn't arrived yet.

It is I referenced for the pose too, but just the overall shape, not many details inside it, so it ended up less realistic. Oh well.
I think that too, that's why it's hard for me to create nowadays without a reference. I really need to have one. 
Ah, it usually takes one month for my cards to arrive anywhere, be it Europe or the US. With some luck it might arrive to you in three weeks, but I wouldn't expect it earlier than that... I'm still waiting for Ziege too, yep ^^
