Description 100 Theme Iron Artist commission for the AMAZING ~darkfoxdemonx ! If you don't know her, you should most definitely check her out, because she is one of the most kind, talented people I know.  


I spent well over my allotted time(2 hours) on this, but I was just having so much fun! Aside from brush lag, and the occasional computer crash, that is. I swear, I redrew each panel around 3 times, just trying to get nice poses. I can't say that I'm impressed with how panel 4 came out, but it will have to do, for now. Ha! 


This was mainly an experiment with Photoshop, because I've been meaning to learn it for ages, but I've never had the motivation to do so. Also, brushes, color schemes, comics, etc. Haru was a pleasure to work with. 


Thank you so, so much for commissioning me, and I hope you enjoy!


Haru belongs to ~darkfoxdemonx

;o;  I know not what to say to properly express my amazement; but WOA, just ... WOA. and you aren't even well-versed in photoshop things?! holy smokes!!!

I must freak out over this for a minute

or a few minutes

or a rather long while`


I'd first like to say, this is one of the greatest pictures I have ever received in my life... I'm nearly in tears I love it so much ;_; 


I'm amazed by your mastery of lighting and colors and how beautiful it all is

in the first panel, the first that that really catches my eye is that insanely gorgeous lighting on Haru, and how the manipulation of the lighter colors and textures looks as if he's golden sinking into a hazy mist <3  

In the second one, his expression... oh my gosh, it's amazing! his expression has this almost melancholic feel to it, looking to the light half-expectant half saddened. And the eye is soooooo beautiful (and wonderful color contrast with the warmer colors in the background!) ;o; I wish I could draw eyes like that, but I can never get the shape right.. I also love the rust-colored lighting in the back, and the little flecks and spots floating beside him <3 such a neat effect! and dang, that facial anatomy and fur texturing .... just dang!

The third, my goodness, it's amazing! (though so is each panel) but wow! I'm loving the contour lines! they give the panel such a great snes of motion! and the slight smile he's got as he ascends into the light <3  it's so precious! I also love the little things in it that are so neat, like the nose (which are impossible to draw >:I I envy your mastery of drawing canine noses!) and the cute ear O: weird things to notice I guess, but they're still super cool! ('specially because they are such hard things to draw ;o; at least for me.) and the fur is soooooooooo beeaauuuttiiiffullll <3 <3

fourth panel is like a scene right out of a movie, I can envision so perfectly the light expanding and flecks spiraling out, it's got such lovely lighting, and the shading is just incredible!~ and that fuuuuurrrrrrr it looks so soft and flowing and beautiful oh my gosh!!! >w< I just want to pet it!

The fifth one, freaking awesome!!!!! LOVE that smokey flame and gorgeous color scheme! all the blues OMG, that there stole my heart ;o; Love the change in color scheme, and the immediate switch from warms to cools, like he suddenly bursts into his demon form as he reaches the light it's wicked awesome! I also love how you worked the light texture you'd used in previous panels and turn it into fire; amazing fire might I add! also, the eyes are  stunning! ;o; and the speckles of light emanating from the flame look as if they're reflected in the eyes and face... so darn beautiful *cries* though all of it is beautiful so I don't even know! it's just all too amazing!

heck, the whole thing

is too amazing!


I could not thank you enough for this beautiful artwork! I love it so much!!!!! <3

Wow, so beautiful. The top scene reminds me of iki failling out of the sky in Off-White, if you've ever read it, because they're both such beautiful comic frames. I really love your style and your anatomy, and your art is so original. The backgrounds are so lovely. ^_^
