Description
Look at me with my creative titles 'n shit ;-;Β
Oh god those berries x_x hand and tablet pen extra dead from all the tapping I did.
Those are my lazy person trees in the back there.... they dont really match but they look cool and textured anyway.
I added beads and feathers to her mane since the cooler months are already underway so she'll be fluffin' up to prepare for the winter's cold.. probably will only be a fall/winter accessory for her.

This piece took longer than I hoped but I was also experimenting a bit.. I still feel like it's lacking something? Maybe the lighting isn't right. I tried going for a dusk kinda look... but I dunno.
took about 8-10 hours on SAI

This is seriously the best art piece I've ever seen. And I'm not just saying that!
I can't explain it, it's just that amazing. ;0;

This is such a beautiful picture! It just screams AUTUMN! from the first glance on.
Lemme start with these golden trees in the background...they glow. And that fits here so well. It shows autumn, but a golden one...a warm one! The red berries, I guess, are so pretty!They must have taken a while, but the detail of these fits in here so perfectly. :> Going back to the trees, I like how there's some red color in the leaves! It makes them part of the whole background with the red berries. ^^ Nothing looks out of place.
Next, the character...who is absolutely gorgeous!
I really like how you did the face, especially the ears, and the fur. The fur turned out so great! 
Lastly, I like the branches in the foreground...with the golden leaves. This part is so important, in my eyes, because it just...fits so well! There're golden leaves on top and at the bottom, it all fits together. :>
Such a beautiful image...very well done!

Thank you for taking the time to type out such a nice comment/critique!!
I'm glad you like it!
Do you think there's anything that can be improved/altered/tweaked?

Hmmmm...not really, it's gorgeous as it is...but...maybe...the background, y'know, the golden leaves of the trees are slightly blurry, but the bark and the berries underneath them not. If you blur these parts as well (not too much, of course) it could add some depth so the picture. :>

Okay, so I know I already commented on facebook... but you know... Comment all of the places!
Personally for a dusk type look- I think the colors are perfect- the warm subtle yellow tint to her coat hints at the time of day. If you looking for extra bits here and there you could experiment with shadows on top of the red fluffy flowers like this:Β t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANβ¦ or maybe add some warmy glowy bits to her fur or the rabbit's fur like...Β www.sugarthegoldenretriever.coβ¦ . Of course... that would entirely depend on where your light source is. You could just play around with shadows... If the sun is in front of her at dusk, the shadows would be pretty long.Β
Although it's lovely as is, imo. The warm vibrant colors are gorgeous and Sessko really pops with her white and blue coat. The fur texture, as usual, is fucking amazing. Your shading and your concept of shadows and wolf anatomy is just -awesome-. The shading on her face in particular is really well done, accenting the slope of her head up to the floofy tufts. I know I keep picking the most /random/ things to compliment... but your fucking ears... guh.... <3 and also the foreground was a nice touch. The sharpness of the lines compared to the loose lineless color of the rest of the foliage gives a lot of depth and the lazy person trees go really well I think. You don't want them to be too much in focus since they are all the way in the background. You have three layers of depth there and that's nice. The tree trunks don't seem to match the leaves to me though because of the lines on them. There's detail in the trunks but not the tops.Β
Anywho~ As usual- Beautiful work.

GAH! I always love your comments!!!

I wish I could just have a pocket sized version of you to watch me draw and point out things I should fix/consider because you're so good at it :0!
For this piece I was kinda going for a setting sun kinda look so there might not be much sun dappling (not to mention any time I try to do sun dapples I make it look like my art has vitiligo LOL 
Yeah those lazy people trees.. maybe that's why I think they look a little off? The trunks dont match the leaves - something I'll have to tinker with 
Thank you for all the suggestions and compliments! I always love to hear what you have to say about my work and it means a lot that you write out such long and constructive comments!!

Bahaha! xD Well, I'm glad my comments are well received.Β
Ahh... Yea, sun dappling would be a little prior to dusk I guess. The long shadows are something you could either do or leave out. One of the nice things about dusk. If the sun is already past the horizon, I don't think you would have them as much. So, I think that bit is a matter of preference. ^_^ I really love the warm tones you have though! Another thing I just thought of that might emphasize the yellow tint of the fur given by the sun is to try to use different colors in your shading instead of a darker shade of the same color. Griffsnuff has a fantastic tutorial on it, and it really makes colors pop!Β griffsnuff.deviantart.com/art/β¦ (Griffsnuff has awesome tutorials)
The texture of the leaves is nice. It was a good choice. Broad leaf-like strokes emphasive the fluffy foliage but don't go too detailed. :3 The colors also are awesome.Β
Yea... -.- Some of the tools in Sai don't quite work the way they should, imo...Β
I'm glad I could help!!
Also- wanted to share this with you- I found a post about settings for an Acrylic brush in Sai:Β www.wysp.ws/post/6587292/
(It's fucking AWESOME.)
