Description Took it upon myself to make an entry for contest.
I really wanted this to be so much better than it turned out but any talent I thought I had abandoned me once I started colouring. And then the colour with insane... thus why it's all sepia...ish. *shrug* at least I did SOMETHING I guess. Yeah I know it was only one day but I can rarely manage to work on something for longer than 8 hours without throwing my laptop across the room. SIGH.

Well I hope you like it.

DANG - best picture of you yet?
Very nice anatomy, even if you're mostly drawing foxes, it looks nothing like one. The colour scheme isn't beatable as well. And on top of it, I love this peaceful atmosphere and the glowing blossoms ... fine shading details on the chest, though most of the picture is blurred due to the pespective.

Keep this up!

Heh, thanks! I used a couple of refs for the lion itself so I give credit to that for the anatomy.
You're so very kind

BlueHunter In reply to Silvixen [2013-04-14 09:24:37 +0000 UTC]

Well, I always use refs and it's a 50/50 game

I'm not very kind, I just felt the urge to speak out my mind, since this caught my attention :3

It's so beautiful! I love the fur texture on her neck and chest, the way her head is slightly upturned to look at the blossoms, and the pose overall.

That's lovely, I think the sepia tone adds to it. XD

How come the details tab says 2955X1918 but I don't see more than 900X584, not even half the supposed resolution?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Silvixen In reply to RakuenGrowlithe [2013-04-13 22:09:47 +0000 UTC]

Because I never show my images at full resolution or allow download to prevent theft.

RakuenGrowlithe In reply to Silvixen [2013-04-14 06:56:13 +0000 UTC]

Then why post the full resolution at all?

Silvixen In reply to RakuenGrowlithe [2013-04-14 07:22:29 +0000 UTC]

So I don't need to keep the full size file on my computer.
So it's available for the person it's for to download easily should they ask.
Because it's easier than creating multiple sized versions of the same file just to upload places.
Because in my 6 or so years of uploading onto DA and doing exactly this you're the first and only person who has given a shit.

Oh wow, that was fast - and this came out beautiful! I agree with iFoxSpirit, the sepia tones on this are gorgeous, and coupled with the style (it's almost watercolor or acyllic-like painting in places, very lovely shading), it looks really unique. The cherry blossoms are the perfect touch, and I love all the detail you put into Kohu's fur.

Thanks so much for doing this! I've added it to the entry list on my main profile page. <3

Heh, and it felt like it took years to draw. I love Kohu's design. That dark fade with the white markings just cutting through it... I dunno why but it's really satisfying. I'm so glad you like it :3

kohu-arts In reply to Silvixen [2013-04-14 19:07:44 +0000 UTC]

It came out really awesome though. <3 And thanks. I based her really loosely off a few of the cat breeds I really love that have something similar in terms of design. ;3

Silvixen In reply to PraiseCastiel [2013-04-13 10:40:35 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! That fur is the only thing I find overly satisfying about my effort here. I understand it's not BAD but I wanted it to be better.
BUT THANK YOU
