Description 2017



Every 2 years I redo this piece just to see how I've improved. Decided to take it a different direction this year with a blue day sky instead of sunset :3

YYYYES, bi-annual improvement pics. I've got one of these that I do too, I've really got to get cracking on mine. :U

This is such great picture, it's executed awesomely especially next to the older versions! First came digital colors (THAT YELLOW), then came detailing, then came motion and color. I think that 2013 version is the most dramatic, but you reeled it back in favor of real details and a sense of atmosphere. In this new version the fur flows in the breeze, and the land they look over has life-- if this has always been about "My Lands", you've finally nailed it!

The critique I have to offer this one would be to move the pond into the background, and perhaps add more figures (trees, animals, etc) to add a sense of scale. With the watering hole tucked into the lower right, the plains don't feel all that big. Moving the hills further away may also amplify this.

Gorgeous picture overall, man, it turned out gorgeous. I can't wait to someday see what the 2017 version looks like!

That yellow indeed xD I think I was actually trying to make him look gold but failed hard.

I'll see f I can fix that next time I have a bit of time. I think the plains are all on either 1 layer... Or something stupid like 50 S:

The background puts me in mind of some really famous oil painting...
