Very, VERY nice work with the anatomy and general setting on this piece, Lexa! The background has the perfect amount of detail, enough to look believable, but not so much that it takes away from Finglehorn and Angelo! I really like those effects on the water too. Great job with Angelo's wings here too, you found a great way to put them into this setting without making it seem awkward, and as usual the detail on them looks lovely! Seriously loving Finglehorn here too, with that expression and attitude that just totally suits him! The shading on his hair also stands out as especially impressive!As always, very awesome work indeed!

Thank you!! Glad to hear that about the effects! That can be a tricky thing to balance when it comes to backgrounds.Angelo's wings CAN look awkward/out of place in a lot of settings, so it's an interesting challenge (and something I need to practice on anyway) to try to make them look natural in settings like this. I'm happy to hear that I pulled that off in this piece! lol! After drawing this picture, I had to add Finglehorn to my "list of my own characters that I'm a fangirl of". I just love his laid-back, cocky attitude. It was really fun adding those shinies to his hair! Thanks again!!

You're welcome! 8DI can imagine that. I know that I've at least sketched characters with angel wings before, but they're always spread out because that's been the only way I could think to draw them. Although, with your new tutorial, that will probably change next time I try to draw wings. Hehe, and I'm adding him to my "List of my friends' characters that I'm a fangirl of"!

That's how I always used to draw wings too, but now (believe it or not) I find it easier to draw them folded! Anyway, glad my tutorial could be of help! Heeheeheehee!

I can totally see how that would happen, after learning how to draw them properly both ways. Makes me think that I should probably get practicing sometime soon...

When you have the time. But be warned...once you get started drawing wings, it's hard to stop!

Lol! Okay, I'll consider myself warned.

Mmmm, how much I would kill for to get a hot steamy bath like that. <3333 Awesome job! I really love the colouring! <333333
KittyCowLexa In reply to MrYuusai [2012-03-11 17:45:12 +0000 UTC]
You and me both, sister! Unfortunately, the closest I can get to it right now is a luke-warm bath in a tiny plastic tub. Thanks! This one was really fun to color!

You know it. xD At least you have that. I have a shower. You're welcome <33333333333

lol! Well better a hot shower than a lukewarm bath if you ask me.
