Description My part of an art trade with the amazingly talented Thank you so much for trading with me, apologies for the wait, but i kept going through so many different drafts until i came up with the official drawing. Please check out their part as well! its stunning ;u;


Again, this was super complicated, but i think i accomplished a lot in this drawing. With both architecture and a more challenging perspectives, its a step in the right direction. Thanks for all your support guys <3

OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS
SWEET HONEYSTICKS IN A HANDBASKET(??????????????????????????????)



THIS COMPLETELY TOOK MY BREATH AWAY.
SAPHIRE, HOW LONG DID THIS TAKE YOU??

THIS IS JUST INCREDIBLE, I THINK YOU'VE COMPLETELY OUTDONE YOURSELF WITH THIS??? I mean, just LOOK at that SCENERY, that PERSPECTIVE??? THE COLORS?? THE DEPTH!! THE SCOPE AND AMBITION!?!? THE ARCHITECTURE!!
I can't believe that you followed all my wishes to the tea and BEYOND for the architecture and setting dajklsdhjdkasd ;__________;
Completely nailed Amginne too T_T That anatomy is just so sturdy, gorgeous and believable. Those paws and the gentle but effective touches of musculature here and there is so satisfying and adds so much to this picture.
You added all the accessories and copied them and her runes exactly too, even if it was OPTIONAL T_T
And this is without mentioning all the small details everywhere else. I am just blown away.

Seeing this in my notifiactions was an incredibly pleasant surprise, one I did not expect so soon given your current situation ;_; I hope this means things are going better. I am extremely grateful to you for putting so much time and thought into this for me, especially if in a tough spot. Anything from you would obviously be worth the wait, and this completely knocked all my expectations out of the park. You should definitely be INCREDIBLY proud of this!! The amount of things you must have learned from creating such a massive and complicated illustration will indubitably be invaluable to you as you continue your art journey!! The fact you took such a big step forward with this also makes me VERY happy for your sake, because that is no easy feat at your skill level. The more skill, the harder it is to make visible improvement.

Thank you -so- VERY much for this, and for the opportunity ;_; You flatter me so much with your kind words, but I do not joke when I say I am extremely honored to have had the opportunity to do this with you. It was an extremely motivating and educational experience I will forever be grateful for. I am glad we both managed to push ourselves and learn so much from it, with art we both could be excited about on the end as a reward for it!!

I can't wait to see more of your art and how it develops in the future! Every single piece you do always catches my eye in my notifications.

MEANWHILE, EXCUSE ME WHILE I TREASURE THIS ALWAYS??? T_____________T

the perspective was only a one point, but man was it difficult. Not only did I challenge myself with the perspective, but also with the lighting AND architecture. It was the perfect oppurtunity for me to experiment without the stress of it being a commission and feeling any kind of rush. Even though I would have loved to get this done sooner, I wanted to study for a bit more until I felt completely confident.
I had done TONS of practice with perspective including three point, and tried my hand at several sketches. Here was what I finally came to after MANY tries XD
And of course simple details added and kept changing the pose a bit,
and then just the background by itself
The entire process was great practice and im so happy I was able to do this trade with you ;u;
Your kind words are so inspiring and I appreciate your kindness more than you can imagine <3 If you ever feel like trading again, please just let me know, it would be great to do so ^_^ Thanks again!

Perspective IS HARD. It's the skeleton for the artwork taken to the next level, and it is really complex >.
Gosh, thank you for sharing all these WIPs, they're so cool to see O_O All those lines, so much thinking >.< I can see the struggles. I feel like your WIP already looks way more impressive than mine though with that perspective laid down. THE POWER OF PERSPECTIVE already showing. My main focus was to establish fore-, mid- and background for depth, but thankfully that didn't require me to draw up those freaking measuring lines!

I'm also really relieved to hear it was for the most part a stress free experience ;_;! Can't ask for more than that.

Your colors just look so fantastic, that second WIP just already has me screaming. How you pick such beautiful colors every single time is just so inspiring to me ;_; Definitely play to that strength and try to make your colors even better! I heard these warnings about trying to improve at your weakest points, which is good, but to never forget to aim for your strengths too! All this work with perspective is definitely going to be worth it though, and I can't wait to see how you keep implementing it with your increasing knowledge of colors!

EHE, I AM GLAD IF MY SCREAMS OF ENCOURAGEMENT IS GIVING IN SOME WAY ;_; That makes me really happy djaskdh.

And thank you so much for that ;__;! When I feel like pushing myself to the breaking point again for some SERIOUS IMPROVEMENT I am definitely going to hold you to that offer ;_;!!
Or maybe just for fun at some point.
I definitely owe it to myself to put a dent in my to-do list first, so hopefully I will have improved more by that time aswell!

Thank you so much too, once again! ;_;
