Description Loooong overdue trade with the wonderful DeyVarah ! Her titular character. I don't draw big cats as much as I'd like!

(I am NOT open for art trades, please do not ask me) I agreed to do this trade in 2011. 2011!! Three years!! Punch me in the face.

Thanks to everyone who watched me stream this, I've been having a hard time getting myself to draw lately but I feel like I might be getting out of my funk a bit. That or the coffee I had this morning worked really well.

It's good to see art from you again. I love what you did with this one. The lighting is fantastic! And you have a knack for drawing big cats. I'm glad you're starting to get out of your funk! Keep up the good work! :3

Sassi18 [2014-04-30 21:34:24 +0000 UTC]

It is good that you kept the backlighting. It really makes the drawing pop. And the belly fur is just. Unexplainable.

DindellaTheDefender [2014-04-30 21:33:16 +0000 UTC]

The atmosphere on this is fucking fantastic, man! <3 I always love how you seem to always use the perfect color combos for your shading and highlights. It takes me 5ever to find the best possible saturation and what-not when I get to shading. And of all the artists I've ever seen use reflective light, for some reason your's always tops out as my favorite. It's so luminous and attractive. <3

Canis-ferox [2014-04-30 21:26:12 +0000 UTC]

Ah this turned out so beautiful! That lighting, man. And the color scheme. It's lovely. There's just the right amount of details, and balance of blending and sharpness to the look of it. Really love the finishing effects too, with the snowy stuff~ It was cool getting to see part of the process of this ^^
