Description Digital character vignette commission for *kcravenyote of her cat/kitsune character, Shizuka! Another weirdly lit one that was a challenge, because I am apparently a lighting masochist and want things to be difficult. XD

Title and amazing leaf critique thanks to *vantid once again!

I love what you did with the light here. O.O The way it filters onto the character is really cool.

Thank you! I'd say give it a shot, play with layer settings on photoshop (if you work in photoshop) to get some cool effects! I use multiply a lot to get the effects I want.

Woah, absolutely amazing with that green lightning and that you didn't forget the little spots where the leaf is broken. <3 I totally adore your shading and coloring and the way you do fur omg. D: It looks so vivid and just everything fits perfectly into the whole scheme.. °-° Just awesome~

MacUaine [2011-04-10 15:32:54 +0000 UTC]

Oh, the green shading looks so fresh in this! You made wonderful job with it and it looks really realistic too.
Somwhow I especially like the area in her tails and legs, where the light turns normal from the green.
I've always loved your style in making fur! It looks fluffy and realistic, but not too much. Works really well with your style and doesn't pop out in wrong way.
...just makes me want to fluff it so badly!! >w<
Wonderful work!
