Description Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much

See I'm pretending to be all artsy and imply that this picture is somehow based on this song, when in reality it's just because this picture is blue and black *shot*

ANYWAY yes. Trade with my loviestlove =TwilitTiger ! . She requested her LOVELY Earthy Aysse character whoooooooo.... did you tell me his name? >__> BUT YES he's gorgeous! My rendition of him here doesn't do his design any justice because I washed his markings out when I shaded him. But he's pretty, yes >__>.

Aaaaand yes yay. Thank you for the trade, Remy my love!

Look at her AWESOME half here! <333

This is a beautifully colored piece. I must say though, the character seems a little disconnected from the background, almost like you did them in different styles. The color and shading in the background give it a lot of depth. I get the feeling that this is a very large, possibly lonely forest. I am not sure what to make of the character. It seems to be tiger-like I think. I assume that it also has wings. (I don't want to be insulting but I really want to know. Does it have porcupine quills on its back?) I think the character has a lot of feeling in its face but I think it could benefit from a little more shading to give the character more depth and give a good perspective of it's size and define the shape.

THE SECRET TO BACKGROUNDS IS BLUE *shot*. Or a really big canvas that you can zoom in and go ALALALALA and then when you zoom out PS magically makes it a recognizable background. That too <__<. THANK YOU ILU

I'VE SPENT LIKE 5 HOURS TRYING TO PREPARE MY BRAIN FOR A COMMENT.

I'm still not prepared but since I must go doKH fanart homework I'll be dying on the webs so HERE I AM.

HOLY POO BRO THIS IS BEAUTIFUL ;; Your blues with my bro's browns is just simply DELICIOUS, brown and blue are one of my favorite combos <33 I love your lighting here and the composition of this overall, as well as your detail, because I have NOOOOOOOOOO PATIENCE AT ALL to do what you do, so RESPECTS FROM ME
I'mmajustgoforhisunofficialnameNagane is beautiful, and I love how smoothly you colored him and his SHINY RED SHINIES omg love. Your anatomy's really good, especially in the face which I just want to HUG ;O;
The background reminds me of what....what....I don't know. The BEAUTY OF TRUE NATURE? YEAH SURE let's go with that. I can't remember anything. HELP.

But ffffffff I'm in love with this thankyouthankyouthankyou for the trade I hope we can trade again <3 I must do an official picture or ref for this guy now k

IT'S OKAY I'VE SPENT LIKE 2 WEEKS TRYING TO COMMENT ON YOUR HALF <__________< *needs to be shot*

ANYWAY OMG YAY I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKE IT

AND NAGANE IS A DELICIOUS NAME. FOR A DELICIOUS BEASTIE . I wasn't sure about the colors of his eyes or his horn danglies, so I made them green and red, which I hope is okay >__>

AND THA BACKGROUND WAS TOO MUCH FUN TO DO. It's blue with more blue and then some blue. And a little green whatever green BLUE

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE TRADE LET'S GO AGAIN ASAP

TAKE YOUR TIME IT'LL TAKE ME ABOUT 10 YEARS TO RESPOND TO YOUR COMMENT IN RETURN LOL <3

NAGANE IS A COOL NAME. JUST. IDK. I'll look at my sekrit name list and see if something shows up.
Y'know he was originally a Lunar Beast/Aysse mix? >_______> THEY WORK OUT HARMONIOUSLY MAN. We have like 90% the same rules LOL

MAN I JUST LOVE HOW YOU DID THAT FOREST. IDEK MAN THAT IS MAGICAL AND I LOVE THAT BLUE WITH THAT BLACK SO MUCH. I also like what you did with the lighting. Combining cool and warm lighting really stands out and It really helps highlight the grass in the foreground against the blue/black of the pines. GREAT JOB EEEE~

aboveClouds [2012-09-09 18:28:59 +0000 UTC]

That's really awesome! The detail in the trees and the colors are wonderful. I always love how you focus your attention on both the background and the character(s). Too many people seem to focus solely on the character(s). >_>

As for critique, maybe you could have pumped up the lighting on him a bit more? I'm thinking something along these lines -> [link] [link] I just think it would be really cool to combine a strong yellowish/warm colored light with a smaller, blue edge/rim light. I see that you have some rim lighting on top of the mane, but it would be cool to see it all around his body. Though that might just be me. >.>

If you don't want your colors to get muddy, you should mix some brighter colors into your shading. See #6 here: [link]

But... yeah! Aside from that, there's nothing else that looks off to me. You did a really great job on drawing him. I recently looked at your work from a year or so ago and, damn, you've really improved. I'd love to see what your art looks like in another year or two.

Enaxn In reply to aboveClouds [2012-09-12 16:52:58 +0000 UTC]

AAAAAAH yes thank you! And I totally know what you mean about amping up the lighting! I mostly didn't do it because the yellow light really doesn't have a logical source, so I didn't want to draw *too* much attention to it. And yeah, more turquoise rim light is definitely needed <__<.

AND I LIKE THAT TUTORIAL. LET ME SAVE IT FOREVER. Thank you! .

AND YES thank you so much for the delicious crit and the comment! I really appreciate it! <33333333

FBAFASSGHOGHRYIGFI THAT BACKGROUND <3 Seriously its totally gorgeous! I love the blue trees and how it gently melts away to the sky. Theres so much detail on the rocks too, even that far away little one!

The character too looks stunning! Your anatomy seems to be improving my dear <3 I love how he's walking towards us too, not often do i see that <3

Enaxn In reply to MyniaArt [2012-09-12 16:37:45 +0000 UTC]

YES. Blue trees in front a blue sky. SO MUCH BLUE

AND THANK YOU! I've gone an started spending several hours sketching out the characters traditionally and doing lots of, like practice headshots and tiny ugly skeletons on the side and stuff instead of spending 20 minutes pooping out some half-assed digital sketch because I was too excited to work on the background <__<. So it TAKES forever, but it's probably better. Ugh why is MORE TIME 8D always the answer? >__>

Thank you again!

When I saw the wip on tumblr, it looked absolutely fantastic already!
I like how the blue toned background compliments the warm browns of the Aysse, and oh dear god, Anne you're backgrounds are absolutely amazing o___o The trees look amazing, and I just love the way you painted the leaves and branches! There's a certain amount of depth as well, which really adds to the painting!
