Description Well... This is the first image I am going to upload, of many. This was a comission, drawn by me, to I spent.. gods who knows how long on it, wtih school always getting in the way, draining my mood to draw... It took a long time, but finally, I am proud to say that it is finished. As long as it took, I am rather proud of how it turned out.

I found out that drawing skies, and shading, is a most wonderful thing to do. Clouds, skies, heavens and such are all so much fun to make. And fur. Fur is probably one of the greater things that I have managed to do in my own opinion. At least hair and manes. Out of this picture, I am most proud of his mane, as simple as it looks.

Sadly, I cannot show the full-sized picture, but here is a shrunk one, at least. I hope that after this hurdle is over, I will be able to draw a lot more again.

So for now, thank you all, whom still watch me, and my works. I will see if I can't get back into this site again. So for now, take care, all of you.

Hehe.. Thank you. And yes, I missed posting here as well. Too bad that Exams are keeping me from actively visiting this page; or else i would have been here every day <3 The tsupid guilt, heh.. Even if this picture is a bit old now, I am proud to say that I improved on it, and that I am happy I did it.

And you know I would never hold it against anyone, just because it took you a few days to comment. I am glad for any comment at all <3

Haha.. Thank you, thank you. And well.. I guess it's all about the amount of time you put into it It's not that good, really. There's tons of people that are faar, faar more better than me. I just.. try to weakly mimic them, and Produce a decent result.

But thanks, nevertheless.

...Question. Are you SFRB? Juuuuust wondering.

But thank you very much, heh. I am glad that you seem to think of it as that good, even if it is a halfways old picture. I am glad that I manage to draw skies well, even if they do look a bit odd

You're making quite some nice progress on your works, man. But if I could critique you a little, I'd say that the sky's looking very messy. The lightest part is above the sun, whereas in real life, it's below. It's also full f light dots. Here's an image of a sunset I took a couple of months ago: [link] The sky gets gradually lighter towards the sun, and the light goes about in horizontal lines(the "dots" on the sky were some cotton-like clouds that evening).
I made a paint-over of the sky to show what it would look like with the horizontal lines: [link]

All in all, I'm happy to see you're improving. :3 It's always nice to see you upload stuff(especially after such a long time!) and with some more work, you'll just keep on getting better and better ♥

Haha.. Thank you. It's odd, you know, to hear you being so -nice- and tender. It's... frankly, almost as creepy as seeing you using smilies that are not 8U and suchlike. XD But thank you, nevertheless. I am glad to hear the critique, albeit it is weird to hear you say that a half-year old picture is nice progress; hah. I am sure I could do better i I tried again today.... Yeah. I spend as long as Phil on comissions. I'm that bad.

Yes. The sky is very messy. I was drawing two sets of clouds really, and then when I was about to erase the first one (The one that contained all the dots), it... well; it left a sort of rippling effect, so I let some of it remain inside. It does not look natural at all, but it rather enhances the surreal look.

...And -dear GOD-, there you went and made the entire sky look so much better, just like that. That's... Beautiful. I -gotta- remember how to do skies like that. Dear lord, I must show this to Cronic. Thank you so very much!

Heeeeehhh.... ANd now you're making me bluuuuush. >.///.> Why is hearing compliments from you making me blush? I don't know, but it is. Thank you again, and I hope I will too. I hope to see more from you too, when you get time to draw more, and now that I have time to comment on it more!

Sorry for the late reply. O:
You're welcome! And damn, I didn't know it was that old! xD Still, haven't seen you post colored images for closer to a year so compared to those, yes, there is improvement. B)

And that sky... well, that's nothing, I just draw something similar to what was in the photo I took. It's pretty easy to do that, really. Background and horizontal lines with custom opacity brush is all you need.

And you'll see more from me! c: I'm working on some sketches right now, just so that I'd have at least something to submit(not that they were bad sketches, some are even inked).

Not at all, not at all! I am happy for any comment at all.
And yes. I mean god. XD Just. Yes. I'm worse than Phil :I Hehe.. But yes. I wonder if the constant state of apathy could be called Art block. Buuut yes. At least I am getting out of it! I just want to COLOUR the fucking world! it's.. Delightful, and -fun-. You won't know how sheer -fun- it is, when you start shading, and make it look good! <3

And well, that proves just how good an eye you have for details now, as I tried to base this of a sunset picture myself. Look at hte differences XD And oh god. You just used the Emote. You have changed, Skull! You have -changed-! Haha. And mmhm! I will try to draw like that next time! And also, I rather loved how you added purple shades to the barn and such.. Evening sun against red makes for a wonderful purple.

And thank you for that! And I hope time will allow me to comment on them again as well! Time will tell
