Never drawn a rugby ball before, lawl. 8D I didn't add in a logo on purpose, because I didn't want to advertise any companies. x:

What are your thoughts on the blurred grass in the foreground? Good/bad idea? I liked the idea of showing a more 'focused' effect, like that from a camera, but I dunno if it takes your view off the character or not.

If you're interested:

Wow, it's so beautiful! I think the grass in front creates an 'in the spot' effect, where we're spying this scene for deep in the grass XD I think it's awesome!

Sorry for commenting so late! >_<

First of all, the blurred grass adds to the depth of the picture, so I think it's a good idea. It doesn't take away focus from the character at all. And I like how you've given movement to the tiger. I also really like the silhouette in the distance. That, like the grass, gives dept to everything overall.

By the way, is rugby the equivalent to football?

Thank you!

Oh goodness...um. American Football, I have no idea what that is LOL. Rugby is slightly different, I think. Your soccer is our football, though.

Haha, I don't know what rugby is and you don't know what American football is. That's funny I'll just look it up then.

I love the background. So much purple, which is good because I love purple. I love the texture of the fur, and such a powerful looking eye.

Oh, the color scheme is just fantastic! I love the bright, almost neon colors paired with the darker bits. And the fur texture is beautiful too.

omg wow simplay amazing
and i love the grass in the foreground. As you said it gives the effect of a picture c: and i dont think it takes away the focus from the character i think it acually adds more focus to the character.
I've never acually seen a rugby ball before but i know what the sport is. My old SS teacher use to play it..he's got a metal plate in his head now from it xD rofl

and i just love the background. Like in theory it seems so simple but it really looks amazing x3 i just love how the grass is purple and i love how you draw grass its so shiny and really adds to the over all picture <3

and wow amazing i love how you did the fur effect on Switchback. It makes him (just guessing gender) look all fluffy and soft x3 it makes me wanna pet him <3

Over all amazing piece as usall : D

Swimmingferret [2009-04-04 09:42:20 +0000 UTC]

That is very nice. I do like all the purple hues you have used, I think the blurred use of the grass right in the fore-front of the picture is actually a very nice effect you have used, I like it.

MischievousPooka [2009-04-04 04:46:43 +0000 UTC]

Nice detail. Like the stripes. Blurring the grass could help. If you blur it, you should make the grass at the edges of the right and left side more blurred than the middle.

Oh...whoah, that looks AMAZING!
First, the blurred grass: Great idea! It adds some awesome atmosphere to the image!

Now to the rest of the image:
I LOVE the colors! I...can't keep my eyes off that pic, those colors are calling me! *_*
The grass in the background looks amazing aswell! I really love how it's getting brighter in the near of the sun/moon.
The character turned out great too! Too bad all those amazing details got lost, they look really great!
But the character turned out awesome anyway! ^^

This image is just too awesome to not get faved! *_*

You make sexy grass.

What a pretty tiger. Nice job on its coat, veeeery pretty. *petpet*

I personally like the blurred grass. I like doing that kind of stuff in my art too, I find it gives it more depth.

Some how the Shovel reminds me of this from notalwaysright.com

"How To Tell You’ve Lowered Your Standards
Gas Station | Deming, NM, USA

(I was finishing checking out an elderly man’s purchases when this exchange happened.)

Me: “Have a nice day!”

Customer: “When you’re 85 years old and you wake up with a pulse, and your next door neighbor isn’t hitting you over the head with a shovel, you’re having a good day.”

Me: “…” "
