A gift for of her character Halfmoon playfully zapping a wolf bug, who loves being shocked
This was so hard to do digitally, and get the shadows down. 3 layers in an app called SketchBookX (free version) I had to get creative to make it eaiser.

I really like how you did the lighting! Secially on the canine, it looks like an electric tree.

Awesome! Thank you! And you can notice the stars beginning to come out in the background too. They do!

Thank you! They were hard to create, and I kinda cheated. Your shadows are really impressive.

I took the main coloured image and put it into a photo-editing program. Flipped it upside down, made it fuzzy, and turned it black. Then I cut out the Halfmoon and Wolf Bug shapes and threw them back into the main picture and drawing app; so they were kinda reflected underneath. I had to put each shadow on a different layer too -I only had 3- so they could be resized and move to the right angle. I deleted some and drew some 'shadow' and ended up with what you see. The finial step was to drop the opacity. You're welcome!

That's not cheating, that's how a lot of people do it!

It is! I just use a texture since the colours were already there. But soon we'll be so skilled grass will be super easy.
