Finished version of the WIP, One More Night:



This is a gift to a friend of mine, c: As said before, this is of a soldier cradles his beloved mate close on a unnaturally bright night, the very night before being shipped off to war, holding onto her as they sit in the very area they first met each other so many years ago. Again, these two are NOT werewolves, but are an alien race Kalkus made up called the Hy'rakken. c:

Well, this was a killer. :/ I actually sorta... don't like the end result, mostly because I rushed through the background. The characters' blasted fur took up half of the time I spent on this, and being tired, I got irritated and zipped through the landscape.... which is never a good thing. I SHOULD have just taken a break... but of course, I didn't. Gotta work on that. >.>

I suppose what I do like about the background is the sky and water fall... and few of the green areas farther back.

That, and the characters, despite them being a pain to do; the fur wouldn't go the way I wanted until a few hours into working with it non-stop. I changed their expressions a bit too in order to make dues for a few mistakes I corrected... I like their newer expressions, though.

But that's about it. :/ I'ma have to make a revised one for more accuracy and not so much... rushyness. B| Well, until then, I suppose this will do. |:

Hope you like it nonetheless, Kalkus. c:

Hey, I'm sorta curious, but how do I apply for a chance to be on the special feature? Is there a blog entry in how to apply, or do I just send a note? o:',
