Description Traditional commission for xXRoxieDoxieXx ! This is her Felis Liber (based on Jekyll and Hyde!) she won at one of my auctions.

This took well over 8 hours to complete, not gonna lie. Wow was shading this guy a challenge I used so many colors (my colored pencils blend well, so I love to experiment), including blue and red to shade.Β 

Hope you love it, I sure had a fun time working on it

Oh, and the entire time I was uncomfortable from my itchy mosquito bites, I have 20+ of them on my ankles and legs ;-; My anti-itch creams aren't working either, so I've been suffering for the last few days.

I edited it slightly in Photoshop to make the colors more vibrant a d smooth (my scanner is kinda poop), but other than that, yes, it's all colored pencil and some marker!Β 

I use pencils that have soft, blendable leads that make things smooth

Wow this looks amazing. I am in awe of what you can do with coloured pencils. I couldn't do that

And sorry to hear about the mosquito bites. That sucks. Have you tried taking anti-allergy pills? Some of them work well on bug bites too. We have one here in England that does

Thanks! Colored pencils are my go-to Buy a nice set and you're good to go XD they blend well which is what I like

I have an allergy pill I take, but I haven't lately because they haven't been acting up. Took one this morning so maybe that'll help? It is an anti-histamineΒ

Oh ouch! ;-; I feel so bad for you, I know the feeling. I always have my legs covered in them when I come back from working with the horses, a lot of the times the bugspray doesn't do /any/ good. Hope they go away soon!Β 

That said, this is amazing o0o; he's so cute >u<Β

Even the bug spray doesn't do anything?! D:Β 

I should've known better, where my grandparents live it is mosquito heaven. It's where my dad grew up and he said there would be black clouds full of them .-.

Thank you!

The only thing I didn't like was having to discuss human nature and have deep thoughts about it XD I just liked reading it for fun ^^
