------

Completed version of Liang's Illustration commission. This is the Colored Pencil variety, meaning everything was done in colored pencil; only the base colors and water was done in watercolor.

My... GOD. Took me a while to finish this. :/ But it was well worth it, because honestly, I was enjoying myself with this one. xD It's one of the first times I actually used nothing BUT colored pencil to color the entirety of a piece, one with a lot of detail no less, so I'm proud of it. ^^

I see a few mistakes here and there, but I like it overall. I hope my client likes it as well! C:

Gorgeous! Absolutely stunning! I just love how you've got such wonderful textures in this piece, with the leaves, the rocks, the beautiful fur!

The details are fantastic, especially in his fur and the water. Very hard to place the "light glints" on water in the right spots to really make it look fluid, I think you nailed it

Hey, thanks! I really appreciate it, especially since it's coming from such a great artist like yourself. C:

This is an awesome picture. You went into a great deal of detail from the roughness of the cliffs, the sun shining on the water, the fur on the wolf, etc. I particularly like how much work went into the background. It is almost as important to the picture as the wolf itself. Great job!

EarthnAshes In reply to Young-Jacob [2011-07-07 00:22:30 +0000 UTC]

Aww, thank you! ^^ It did take awhile, but I was a great deal of fun. :3 Also, that's actually a white furred fox. xD I did make his head a little too thick for a fox, though. D:

Young-Jacob In reply to EarthnAshes [2011-07-07 00:29:19 +0000 UTC]

Silly me I guess I just spend a little too much time looking at wolves.

I know how you feel about details. Sometimes I can get so into working on them that hours fly by without my notice. I actually love it when it happens.

EarthnAshes In reply to Young-Jacob [2011-07-07 00:37:22 +0000 UTC]

Lol, no harm done at all. xD In your defense, the head of the fox is a bit wolfish, so I don't blame you for thinking him a wolf at all. :3

I know what you mean! That's when I enjoy art the most; I don't notice anything more than the piece I'm working on; not even my sleepiness keeps me from being distracted. Plug in with your favorite music, and BAM! I feel like I'm in a calmer state of mind. xD

I've had those experiences too. I like listening to Pandora, and I've had a few pictures that burned my 40 free hours for a month in a few days.

EarthnAshes In reply to Young-Jacob [2011-07-07 01:31:24 +0000 UTC]

Dude, tell me about it; it's around the same amount of hours for me, and on only like... two major or important pieces. xD A few more hours of my free hours are added if you include sketching and speedpaintings. :3

As for what I listen to, it really doesn't matter, so long as I like the song. But mostly, it's Michael Jackson for me, lol. C:

Young-Jacob In reply to EarthnAshes [2011-07-07 02:11:10 +0000 UTC]

I generally turn on Pandora and let it guide my listening. It's pretty sweet not having to think about what I want to listen too while working. Much less mental strain on my poor mind.

EarthnAshes In reply to Young-Jacob [2011-07-07 02:41:07 +0000 UTC]

That's true. I usually have my MP3 player either on shuffle, or just let it play in it's order. If I'm using Youtube for my source of music, I just turn the shuffle on that too. x3

Yup, I got your email (sent you a response). I wouldn't mind the original, but if you're attached to it in anyway that's fine (the print I had made turned out great so no worries).

As for sending the original, I'll only send it if you'd like to have it. :3 I have the digital file of it, so whatever you want to do will work for me. C:

Haha, alrighty. xD I don't have the receipt sadly, but if you could, can you email me your address? <:3 Either that, or note it to me here; whichever you feel more comfortable with. ^^

Indeed, I do draw people, but others usually overlook that for some reason. If you want, I can show you a few examples of my people drawings. :3

Her work in general is a bit of inspiration for me to try and go more realistic with my works. xD I didn't use any reference for this one, though; that.. wasn't the smartest thing. >.>

Thanks, by the way! :3
