Lucky this is so cute. c:
Mark looks very cute in the night setting, his colors fit it well.
The background is very well done, as is the shading.
i do enjoy how you have highlights where the light is coming from the fireflies.
that makes me very happy.

This is adorable!! And don't listen to Roqi about the lighting thing; While it is one of my weaknesses as well, I don't see what the fuss is about. It looks fine to me and I can see where you lilluminated him from the light of the fireflies. Besides its a NIGHT picture, so lighting is supposed to be very soft anyway

Gosh, I saw fireflies for the fist time a few weeks ago and I made that same exact face xD

Mark is so cute. I love him.
He deserves a fanart! *scurries off*

The light source is all over the place, I must say. That's your biggest weakness isn't it. xD It doesn't much look like he's illuminated by moonlight, more like he's in the headlamps of an incoming car.
Which would hit him, making the driver stop, get out of the car and stare sadly at the corpse... at which point Mark would get up and shake himself off, giving the driver the scare of his life.

I've never seen any ):
There aren't any fireflies around where I live

lol xD
Thanks. He is my favorite to draw right now.

It's true x3; Light source is my biggest weakness when it comes to nighttime pics, but in this one the light source isn't coming from the moon, its supposed to be coming from the firefly he caught.

I thought so, too, but then I went to a barbecue with my friend just outside the city and there they were :'D

If the firefly was the only light source, we'd only be able to see the front of his face and his paws, highlighted with greenish light, no? There is another light source, and it's either the stars or the moon. Stars don't give that much light so the moon must be around. And he doesn't look like he's in the moonlight either. It is not contrasting enough, the shading is not dark enough I think.

I live in a small town in the middle of wine country, so I'd think I'd see them if we had them xD
They might be in the eastern side of the state though x3

Oh well x3 Thanks for the advice, though.

Yeah, I guess you would. Anyway, they're so tiny! At least the ones I saw were.

Sure

Thanks! (=
I drew him in the pouncing position at first, but I thought this one would be cuter.
