Description FINALLY!!
My payment for RADskunx of their character Arlade. ;U; I hope this goes.
I am simultaneously both proud af, and ashamed.
I had no idea how I should portray him, but at the same time, the shading on the fur is pretty much the best I've ever done. =']
And the bg. Doesn't look half bad, in my opinion.

I would appreciate any critique, so feel free to comment! ^v^

Hello! I come from and the tag word I got from is "curiosity".

I picked this artwork of yours because I find that this particular character shown here really shows how curious it seems of the butterfly just flying close by. The character seems to wonder what is this butterfly doing here or wants to get to know the butterfly better to become friends.

This character you created looks very original and unique. I'm actually curious as what kind of creature is it when I first saw this artwork. It seems you used different animals features and you mixed it all together to create this kind of animal. For instance, it's ears are rabbit ears, the paws seems to be horse legs and the tail looks like wolf tail. It is quite interesting and cute

You did very well with the expression especially with the eyes along with the body language that shows that the creature is curious or have interest on the butterfly. I really like how you shaded it's fur and the colours you used for the creature. However, I find that it's fur near it's paw that moved down and near it's leg seems to be a bit off. It's a little bit too bright if trying to shadow with the grass. I think it's best to use the same colour shade as it's ear. I hope you understand exactly where I am talking about. Another thing is I really like how detailed it is you did with the grass and sky.

I would suggest to keep on practicing with shading and shadowing. Also do more artwork with bright colours such as this artwork instead of mostly dark colours and try drawing different animals besides wolves as I have seen your gallery. It's good to have some variety that people can always anticipate what kind of artwork will come next from you. Overall you did a great job!

Thank you so much for the great comment!
...Sorry if it was confusing but the character doesn't belong to me, nor did I design him in any way. It's all done by RADskunx.

For the fur on the chest I agree with. I should've done it differently ^-^
"near it's leg" could you say a bit more? I see multiple places you could be talking about, so could you clear that up a bit?
And "It's a little bit too bright if trying to shadow with the grass"? I find the wording a bit confusing... Are you able to explain that a bit more?

I'm always practicing shading, trying to figure out what works both with backgrounds, colors and themes. ^-^ For now I sadly won't branch out though. I understand where you are coming from, and I'll have to think about it. But I'm in no way planning on making this my job, so I'm just doing what I like ^v^ So rn, it is the "all about dem fluffy wolves" phase. Maybe it'll pass one day xD
Thank you yet again for the comment! You brought out some pretty nice points. 

I hope you have a great day! ^-^
