Description Prize art for: , who won in my Nivvix contest.

For her prize art, she wanted me to draw two of her characters, a little bird man and a little girl. :3
It was a nice change of pace, because usually when I get commissions or have to do requests for people, they have me draw a handsome guy or pretty girl. But here I got to draw a funky bird guy! Awesome.

Missus didn't say too much about the story behind these two. Just that the girl saved the bird from a Carnival. And also there is a connection to the sea and fisherman.

So, here we have the girl about to bust out our little bird friend. AND, I even threw the ocean into the background.

Tools:
Drawn on printer paper with mechanical pencil. Background + colors done in Photoshop with a mouse.

OH
MY
GOD

I DON'T EVEN-- I CAN'T--

WOW. WOW. I AM *BLOWN AWAY* BY THE AMOUNT OF WORK YOU PUT INTO THIS, SERIOUSLY.
I mean, I knew it would be great, but I never anticipated something this, this detailed!
the background oh my god! so LUSH and full of LIFE! The balance of colours in everything is amazing in a way I can't describe, it's just really attractive to my eyes! and oh geez, I could go on and on picking little surprises out of everywhere - the deliciously elaborate *grass*, the cute little lizards, the grains on the wood, writing on the crates(cool way to sign your name btw!), the super nifty cage design, the lovely crescent mooon, the fire's gloww, th- oh my gosh I OWN A CARNIVAL!

ffff and that's not even to mention the characters themselves! who just so happen to look TERRIFIC in your style and I do believe you've captured the personalities of quite nicely! Awww poor Ludwig, that cage is too small for ya! I adore your take on him, he's got the sweetest imploring expression and it's wonderful the way you drew his feathery hands and little birdy feett! I love the stance of his little savior there, too - leaning forward slightly with purpose, perhaps hesitating a little, but listening to the strange birdyguy's pleas with the pure sympathy of a child. And perhaps seeing a bit of herself in him? Just... awww~ ;; and I'm so very pleased that you used her travel outfit! I didn't say, but that's what she wears when they go off on their journey so it's greatt to see~

Mann, I still can't get over how beautiful this is! True, this isn't the exact scenario I'd pictured, but that doesn't make it any less inspiring to me - seeing my characters so grounded in a firm background makes me want to work on them and their story even MORE~!
THANK YOU so SO much for this phenomenal piece! and I have to say that I am so very sorry for the delay in commenting on this, I hope it wasn't an inconvenience! Dx
I am majorly impressed and awed at every tiny little detail and I totally *appreciate* all of the effort you put into making this wonderful prize! Thanks a MILLION!
*sighs and gazes at pic forveverrr*

An excellent piece of prize art here. Kinda makes me wish that I had entered and won, but that probably wouldn't have happened anyway... heh. Anyway, what really makes this great is the arrangement of objects and the details. I can see a lot of effort was put into every portion of this picture, and I can imagine that grass was a pain in the butt. Though, it all comes together for a really outstanding piece that is a blast to look at.

Aww, you're too kind. :3

...yeah, I try to avoid grass. Oh how I loathe sitting at the computer for hours doing that stuff. >:C
