Description
hmmm.... please-o-please-o-plzplzplz i hope dA posts this art.... i've never posted photoshopped stuff.... *gasp**2 and 1/2 hours of figuring out file types later...* THIS WAS A PAIN TO UPLOAD.
well, she started out as a doodle in math class: it's Ahjil, the four-legged flying creature!
i was still experimenting on the tablet, (which, btw, is still up for names 
) and decided to try and test out layers and coloring on my bestest imaginary-buddy Ahjil, since i was in the mood of drawing her. i think it turned out pretty good. 
....well, for deeper info, then technically, Ahjil is more Twil's [my fursona] bestest buddy.
it's not like i come home after school riding a flying dog-bunny creature. 
(but that would be cool... 
)Her name is pronounced AH-jihl, not AW-jihl as in..... "awww," and not AA-jihl as in "angel." Her name is Ahjil as in "agile." actlly, that's what she's named after. she's pretty fast when she's fly'n, so fast in fact, that she needs that ring around her tail while she flies. (it's made of pure gold)
that ring is her own, original trademark, btw! (or at least it was supposed to be...>.>...).... don't ask how it keeps floating on her tail. it just does.
done in photoshop elements 5.0 on a 6x8 wacom tablet.
Ahjil and art belongs to me!.... i luff Ahjil....

Allison, this is beautiful! You've definitely got talent. More than me, anyhow, I never seem to have any more inspiration to draw.. most of my drawings were a result of my own teen angst and drama, and I'd rather not live through that again just to produce a creative source, lol.
Is this the picture that you were trying to upload the other night when you should've been sleeping already? Haha. It is pretty awesome, I'll say, but you still need your sleep. DA will still be here the next day, no worries.

oh yeah, sleep... yeah, that sounds like something i need. beauty rests are effective after all...

Aww. But its been a while since I explained it to you, so of course you're awesome for remembering.

aw sure, ashley, i woulda figured out. (figured out how to kill a piece of art in photoshop, that's what i'd figure out. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, noooo, thats not true! XD Thats my job silly, lol. Also, if you didn't know, if you don't want to upload your art as a PSD (photoshop file) which takes a while, then you can simply save it as that (so you can still have your layers), but also save it as a PNG (click "save as" and make sure the box that says "As a copy" is uncheked). It combines all the layers, but other than that, theres not much of a difference. Pretty much all of my diviations these days are PNGs.

Oh that is fantastic! I love the shading and highlights in her yellow fur and the ring looks just great. She looks so cute too!
You sure do have professional tools in your hands so if you just keep practising you can create more all kinds of amazings pieces of art!

You're welcome!
Ooh, cool. I usually get everything from my dad (he's an artist), so most of my stuff is quite old x3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
your dad's an artist? woah! i never knew that part. that really really cool.
lol, wish i could say the same, but both my parents are ppl who work in office cubicles. not nearly as exciting as an artist-parent.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh well, he's not really that famous 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hm! still sounds pretty interesting. :3 cuz then, if my parents were artists, they'd understand why i always want new tools. xD

Where can I learn to be like you!? ;_;
Seriously, that's worlds better than anything I can every do! My recent photoshop venture involved coloring Windian Princess, and it's nowhere near that good x3
But I love it! and that ring is fantastic!
