Description Inspired by this video and song: [link]
It's beautiful, you should really watch it.

"I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you...

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...

Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you

Because I knew you

I have been changed for good

And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for

But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share

And none of it seems to matter anymore

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood

Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood

Who can say if I've been
Changed for the better?
I do believe I have been
Changed for the better

And because I knew you...

Because I knew you...

Because I knew you...
I have been changed for good..."

For Good, from Wicked

So I havn't drawn a really decent pic of Sammy in a while, and this piece is obviously really personal, I'm still really proud of this picture. Feedback is greatly appreciated. <3

Gah, good song and musical!
Have you seen it performed? SPECTACULAR.

Now, to the point. xD
We don't talk much, but the title of this caught my eye and it's awesome, so. =]

I love love LOOOOVE your shading. It's so soft, it's almost not there; you have to pay attention, and you realize it, but it's so nicely done that it kind of escapes your notice. Kudos!

You also get an A+ for your anatomy, which is reaaaally nice. The body is somewhat long, and the chest seems a big large, but somehow it works well enough that I don't care. xD

I like the fur-fluff, but there's a spot on the butt-fluff that looks a little awkward;; the very bottom, where there's a fluff, but then the rest of the leg behind it. Just seems off. And the fluff is WAY long in a few places, but if that's your style, it's totally understandable. x]

That's about all. 8) Not very helpful but eh... I tried. xD Good picture! I love the sky and Sammy's eye;; very nicely done. Yay!

8D oh wow thanks so much for such a wonderful comment! <333 it means a lot! and no i've actually never seen the musical, but I've heard it's wonderful. And thanks for the crits, even if i draw sammy with lots of butt fluff, i still should be paying attention to what real fox butt fluff should look like, so it's nice when its called to my attention. <3 thank you very very much
