Description Yes, I’m posting something. It’s a miracle!

This is a commission for and it’s been a while in the making. These two are her original characters, Lech (the red-headed boy) and Lady Edyta from one of the several on-going book series that she happens to be the author of. This story in particular features black-footed ferrets, Polish cultural references and wasting curses. Neddie! Thank you so much for your patience, and I hope I’ve done your characters justice!

If you would like to see ~Edward-in-Red ’s own work concerning these characters and this series visit: [link]


PS Another color that doesn't photograph well (aside from violet)? Viridian. AHG. VIRIDIAN YER SO BEAUTIFUL! Electronic devies just can't handle all of your awesome! D:

Edit: changed Edyta's facial features slightly. Hopefully she looks less overtly malevolent and more mysteeerious now.

I can't get over how very awesome the ferrets look, they're SO well painted and the movement/poses are so fluid and natural @__@

It sure is a miracle that something so peculiar happens in DA nowdays - everyone's so busy!
But oh my if this isn't beautifully dynamic (damn that awesome pose)!
This is very interesting, as if the background would have some silk paper and then again some parts of the surface look like glass, like the backs of the animals. As a whole, I really like the effects on this one. <3 Probably my favorite from you since...aaaaah....July? 8D

I'm so glad you like it! It took *such* a long time to finish, and I was trying a few new techniques with painting with white gouache that I hadn’t messed around with in a while. I think I'm trying to be more brave with mixing opaque paint with transparent watercolor. I'm thinking to try acrylic paints on wood and canvas in the near future Now…If only I could think up something to paint on those wood panels…Any suggestions? XD

Whoa whoa whoa. I know I commented on this on Tumblr but . . . it's so gorgeous! :') the color scheme is beautiful, even if electronics can't handle viridian.

And you added those white splashes that are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE.
on a side note those ferrets look so achingly cuddly it's tearing me apart.
