Description

My entry for the 's summer contest. Inspired by some enchanting fireworks on Eelground last night, and even more fireflies. One came and perched on my shoulder and stayed there until the fireworks were done

I was going to put a little story in the description....but this is...well, you'll see

Best Shen I've ever done

EDIT: Yes, I am aware I messed up on Kurisu's paw. No need to point it out.

Can I have a question about Kurisu? Is she Japanese? I'm just wondering.

She is. Her ancestors immigrated from Russia far before she was born. So she's a Russian Blue...but she is Japanese.

It is great! ^^
But still, I say.. Sorry, but I think the kitty's paw drawn some incorrectly, which he shows to fireworks. It turns out that he had two left paws ... ^^

Shen is PERFECT here; he could not have been done better. The shading, lighting on his neck, colours, expression, textures on his robe, everything - you've reached your peak for drawing him. I...I can't say it enough, I love how you made him look!!

...Kurisu, on the other hand, looks a little lacking. Like you put more work into Shen than you did her. The arm she has up in the air looks strange, not just the hand. It seems to disappear where the shoulder should be. The arm she has wrapped around her knee looks great, though! I enjoy its furriness.

So...that's my critique...in exchange for not commenting on your KFP stuff enough lately, I suppose. ;

Aww, looks really pretty, hun. I love the lighting effects, and the glow on Shen and Kurisu. But, Kurisu's hand that is pointing is drawn backwards it looks like. Her thumb should be on the other side. Just take your own right hand and point like she is, and you'll see.
