Description    "I just picked up a wet puppy
   and for a while, I laughed so much that tears spilled
   'I want to be loved, I just want to be loved'
   is what I said. It's no good just to ask for it."

5 hours work, done over a span of 3 days.
Critique is always welcome.

Aoka & Art © Darki-Teme

This is so... *must find word* WOW! 8D Now I will say why I think it's so WOW!

The thing that jumps at me the most and what I think is one of my favourite aspects of this is how the smooth and crisp lineart stands out against the beautiflly done soft-shaded colouring.

Moving on to that, the shading is so soft and LOVELY! I've often tried to do that with how I shade, ALTHOUGH FAILED MISERABLY. D:

And the pretty detailed eyes. My, YOU ARE TALENTED! D:< So much is going on in just one eye it's INCREDIBLE!

The background, too, is breathtaking. It has so much detail, and looks like so much work went into it, it's amazing. And the cloud- IT'S FREAKIN' AWESOME. o A o

It's so awesome, I can only find one thing I can crit; the nose is so... I dunno, GEOMETERICLY SOUND, but it's not shiny-ish. Unless it was intentional, of course, because so much else is shiny ('cause of the pretty moooon) but not the nose. :<

That's the greatest comment EVER. <3

Yes! I knew I was missing something! Shine on the nose! Okay, I'm too lazy to change that now, but at least it'll be in the front of my mind when I need to shine-up my noses in future works! Thank you!!

I love the lighting... it's soft and gives off a feeling of dimension. But I'm not getting the same feeling from the shadows. The colours are beautiful, though... especially in the floating seeds. :3

Also that sky is just beautiful.

What did you use to make it?

the background is amazing, as well as the puppy, but the larger circle of light on the eyes should be softened or something (im my opinion.. i dont know why..), other than that, amazing. by the way, I love the bicolored eyes. ^_^

THATS SO AMAZING! i love the eyes and the tears!! ALSO THE MOON AND STARS ARE AWESOME!!! but the eyes really draw me into the picture!

Whoa- that is just- really cool. I'd critique it if I knew how to critique art, but alas, I don't, so I guess I'll just state what I think is REALLY AWESOME about it.

Well, the shades are just- whoa. Without fullviewing, you can still tell that something's there, and it must've taken you a while to shade it like that. And then when you full view, all the little details just kind of jump out at you. Including the eyes, which... which... -melts- I also love how the eyes are different colors (I think - one is green and one is purple, right? Or is that just some kind of reflection of... something?)
AND THAT CLOUD IS SO COOL. As are the moon/planet thing (can't quite tell).

But, yeah, that's just... wow. The picture has this whole depressing, breathtaking effect, and... and... all right, now I'm just rambling like an idiot...

Either way. -Favorites-

You know how to capture everything in a picture in your comments, so you can critique art, just in a more positive, relaxing way. :3

And yep, one eye is blue-green and the other is purple! And that sphere in the corner is supposed to be a moon XD; (Note to self: Learn how to paint the moon and other planets)

I love your rambles! They're just so loveable and I just want to squeeze you until you feel the love I'm implanting on you! I also just adore how you actually tell me how the picture makes you feel! There's nothing an artist loves more than the view actually telling them how the picture affects them. ;w; <3

Anyway, thank you so much again! You always make me feel so good to be alive! (Is that over-doing it? XD)

Those eyes are pretty amazing. The moon is very good as well. I love the entire thing. If I had to give a critique the only thing I'd say is that I thought it was a cat and not a puppy. It's still very great. Awesome job.

Thank you so much!

I always thought I was horrible at drawing cats, but all the time people tell me my dogs and foxes look like cats XD;
