Description Done for .

It’s by far the most detailed work I’ve ever done, and has taken me the longest time to finish; over 30 hours just on the inking. Yes I am crazy slow ¬..¬;
In a way it was a test for myself to see what I could accomplish if I put everything I had into it. I'm very happy with how it turned out. This is at 45% of the original image. Pardon the watermark, but I don't want this getting stolen.

As a side note, me and Lace arn't exactly on best terms, largely because of my stubbornness. I had this sitting on my computer for over a month now, and it's just been nagging me. I simply finished it because I wanted to get it off my list of things to do, and if you like it Lace, well, all the better.

Comment please, on everything except the feathers... I don't want to hear a word about any more feathers

Oh, and before I forget, Lace's 17th birthday was today, or technically yesterday so: Happy Birthday Lace.


Lastly, Important: I did not by any means have anything to do with the design of the character depicted here! Lace is © herself, and herself only. drawing is © to me.

Utterly stunning work is all I can say. So elegant and graceful, yet covering a powerhouse of muscles and thick skin. Fabulous

Thank you very much just remember I did not come up with the design. *dragon-Lace did, since it's her character.

Wow... The detail is amazing in this picture.
But 30 hours? o-o... damn. I don't think I could work on a single picture for that long. D:

Well, admittedly that was kinda spread out over two months although I did work on it for quite a few hours during the last two days

Absolutely beautiful detail with everything, but very importantly (yes, Im going to say it) the feathers. From the way they are shaped to the very neatly done shadows, they are drawn (I think) in a very new and unique way, one that I really like. Also, I love the smoothness of her muzzle, how her face is calm and peaceful, yet full of happiness. Some of the things I think made it very unique was the curled back feet, and how the right feather whisker is laying over her back, it makes the image more life-like.

A very fine piece of artwork that is worth a for sure! =3

Thank you
I must admit... I had no idea how to draw feathers... I tried a few ways, and kinda liked this one the most, although they end up looking more like leaves than feathers in my opinion

ReginiDracoSilver In reply to jo-shadow [2007-09-20 02:26:45 +0000 UTC]

I see how they look similar to leaves, but I think I like feather's being drawn this way, there just more softer looking. Not sure if that made any sense at all, Im absolutely out of it tonight xD
