Description
Here goes another drawing
Another personal art I wanted to do 
It's a scene from my fan fic ^^ Readers should know what the context is about
So, not much to say about this one. It was very fun to do ^^ And I'm progressively getting better with SAI
Anyways, hope you like it. Comments and critiques welcome are welcome

Speaking of late comments, here's mine. I know I watched a part of this live, but then I had to go. I told myself I'd comment sooner, but somehow it always slipped my mind after that. Well, as I always say, better late than never.
I'll start with the negatives, as I think I traditionally do. I know you might still not be perfectly used to this SAI thing you're using (I have no idea what it is; never even heard of it), but I still feel obliged to point some things out. First of all, if I remember correctly, that there in the background is supposed to be a forest, though frankly it doesn't really look like one. I suppose a greenish tint or more coniferous-tree-like silhouettes could do the trick. Anyway, moving on. The cloud in the middle is a bit awkward; I think the darker grey areas could use a bit more smudging. Next, I'm not very good at light and stuff, but I think the shadows, especially Lyra's, aren't in the right direction. I imagine they would be pointing more southwest.
As for the positives, well, as always, your poses and expressions are awesome. In addition, your line art is accurate as always, and everything is relatively proportional; I envy you so much for being able to that. Combined with your cool shading (which I'm dying to know how you pull off), I really get this tense atmosphere. It matches the story very well.
I just wrote another long comment, but all I'm really saying is that this is a great picture, and I think you're capable of doing a lot with SAI.

Meh, take all the time you need to comment these 
Well, I'm still learning how to use it properly. I'm far from being a master with SAI (with Photoshop too on that matter, but I digress xD ) So yeah, I see what you mean with those negatives, and I'll try and keep those in mind next time. I just want to say that making far away forest backgrounds is trickier than one would think
And, the shading, well, I just use SAI's smudging tool, and it works wonders
