Description Oh thank God this is done

Anyhow, my part of for !

I've wanted an excuse to draw one of her OCs for a long time, finally had one. xD

SO LONG STORY
February has been strange for me. Lots of school work, I went on digital art block. I've been doodling in class and it's made me unable to sketch anything in PS, caused me problems and I couldn't draw any of the OCs correctly for a while. I was finally able to get something done while livestreaming yesterday, but it was painful. xD While I was going to do my normal painting style, I decided to experiment a bit, so instead of doing what I always do, I pulled out the Pen Tool and did lineless! It turned out to be a lot of fun. So as you can see this is all lineless (with the exception of the few lines I've put in that needed to be there), It actually went a lot faster than I thought it would, but I don't see myself doing too much of this in the future. It's fun, but not my thing all the time. xD

I better establish that I cheated on the background. I used a stock of Yosemite valley (I really love that place. xD) and traced over it with the lineless method I was using. I'll put the stock at the end of the description along with the paper texture I used. I was going to draw it by hand but I obviously am a day late, and I wanted to get this done quickly. Though I can assure you that the background took at least an hour, if not longer. It's hard work getting it to look alright! xD

Anyhow, Enjoy! Download has larger view.

I love how this came out! :'D Not only does the character look super cute this way, but the background looks amazing too! Even if you did cheat a little. XD Good experiment at least even if it's not something you want to do a whole lot of in the future?

Man this is just WICKED! Good lord I LOVE this!!! This is so cool! It's like... a vector drawing or something! I love it! I've never done aaaanything like this, but it always looks so cool AND NOW I HAVE SOMETHING FOR MEEEEEEE omgomgomg. Man the background is AWESOME! I love how you used those colors! The grayish purples and the yellowish greens are so pretty together! I especially love the shading in the mountains! The lighting makes them extra-pretty too! Plus the texture you overlaid gives the whole thing this luscious soft feel to it and I just love it! <333

Denali is amazing too! I love how stylized he is! Like his cute squishy face and his big eyes and his GIANT FEET. Totally loving the stylized look! You still got all his details too! His beard is really cool too! I love the clumps of hair! Like.... they look really all vectory like that! Love the subtle color gradient on him too! It makes it look like a pretty morning view or something. Totally fantastic!

I'd absolutely LOVE the big version of this! It's the perfect proportions for a widescreen wallpaper <_<. Thank you so much again for this! I just love it! <33333
