Description
Commission for MrTigerFire (FA)
This took me far longer then it should have done. I was trying so many different things to get the background (mostly the grass) to look right, that I actually re-did the entire thing five times.
Once the background was done, the character was no problem! Tried a new fur technique, which you probably can't see from this tiny size...

Beautiful job with the background! Especilly those tall grasses look cool and create a feeling that there is refreshing breeze.
Character looks cool and very focused. Shadows and lights are well done and very dramatic but you could have added some light on his back also because that burning tail must be quite powerful light source also.

Thanks very much!
I did add some there, but you're right, there should be more. I'll keep that in mind for future pieces!

Doo-doo-do-dooo-didididi...*makes weird chinese music like sounds*
Erhem. This picture reminds me of something chinese, yes. XD
The background...oh, no words...it's as amazing as always. XD Your grass... *steals another piece* just amazing. XD
The fur looks great! Your new technique worked, I think.
I especially LOVE the right arm! The shape and the shading looks amazing!
And the...fire...whoah, the fire! You MUST do a pic with fire! And grass! Grass on fire! 8D That would be amazing! XP

You think you got this picture in enough groups yet?
I think the picture could be enlarged a little bit to see the detail put in but I suppose any person could do that on their own when they look at the picture. I can see the fur detail pretty well in the picture and I must say, it looks really amazing! The fur looks so realistic all across the body of the character and I love the shading on the character along with the fur technique you used. Both of them together really make the character look so realistic!
I also really adore the fire on the cat's tail. I'm sure that's just a part of the character's design but it looks really amazing! The fire looks so realistic and the sparks amazing as well! The background detail looks awesome and the grass really turned out amazing!
All around it looks amazing and I love this picture so much I had to give it a long coment!

If I don't put my work into groups, then nobody cares about it. 
Yeah, I don't want to upload my art too big - for the commissioner's sake more than anything! They're the only one who should be enjoying the art at it's full size. Plus, not everyone has large screens and fast internet.
Thanks for the lovely comment, anywho!

Well I can understand that.. Commissions seem to be a big source of income for a lot of people on DeviantArt.
Still lovely work and you're welcome!

Indeed! It doesn't provide much, but the money goes towards my expensive University trips. It really does help.

Nice awesome job! Very good work on the individual starnds of grass seed heads. Spot on actually luv! This is how they look out in our filed in springtime and summer. The grass and flowers are spot on as well. Nice job. Cloudy night sky is accurate as well. Love how he seems to be lit from the font by an light source unseen to us, nicely done. Love how you can almost feel the tension by the way he is poised for action. Nicd touch with that flaming tail of his! I gives this an A+ my little friend! Oh nice placement and use of yer new handy dandy watermark!Woot!
