SURPRISE!!! SURPRISE!!! SURPRISE, CHASSIE!!!

Heheh like 1 AND a half months early… Didn’t expect it THAT early, eh?

To tell you the truth, I didn’t expect it myself that early. But I had found a spare copy of the sketch on my flash drive (which I have no idea how ended up there in the first place lol) sometime ago and decided might as well start it early in secret and surprise you and ,yap, I seem to be unable to draw anyone but Deathly Presence, she is sooooooooo cute <3 She definitely has got to meet my charrie, Savage at one point in time…

I sincerely hope you like how it turned out … I tried my best to correct any anatomy mistakes I could find...but oh well, amateur artist is amateur… and drawing it without a reference in the first place….since my old PC just quit on me, successfully cutting me from all of my pics…*sighs*

Done from a pencil sketch mostly in Corel PhotoPaint 12 with minor reference to Corel Draw 12 and Photoshop Elements 6. The sketch was drawn almost 5 months ago as a return gift for my amazing avatar Chassie did for me. Jeez, Chassie, please remind me who owes who now the next pic? …I am lost lol Originally, there was no lower body and tale, but when I was redrawing it, I kinda got carried away a bit lol and that was the result Also, I tried myself at backgrounds…and hope that turned out ok, too.

Some of my favourate parts have got to be the eyes and the hair, naturally. Originally, I planned to make the eyes based on one of the realistic tutorials I found on DA, but I just couldn’t get it right, gave up and just drew the eyes using my own style with a realistic in mind…and it turned out soooo much better _ than I had originally anticipated…

I have learned with this one how to work properly with layers in CPP 12 and different brush settings (jeez, even learned how to create brushes), as well as with the multiply function which I used on the eyes. And I am slowly trying to learn some elements of the realistic style of painting …I am also trying myself at a higher level of shading...Experimentation, experimentation and once again experimentation…Though, I decided not to shade her whole body for now: don’t have the reference and I didn’t want to spoil it…

As for the time…I didn’t even bother timing myself…I knew it would take quite a awhile, and I can bet it easily equals 50 hours for sure if not exceeds it…The tail alone took 9 hours to finish with all the abnormal detailing and 16 layers of different shades of white and black lol and by the time I had finished it, I and my tablet were ready to drop dead on spot XD… I have worked for almost 2 weeks on this one and I am glad I can finally present the result of my effort

So…. I really do hope you like it, love!

By the way, did you notice a heart?
