Description Phew! I finally finished my half of a trade with ! It didn't take me too long to do, it just took me almost a year to get started! hahaha.. oops Anyway, I put a lot of effort into this one, and I really like how it came out. I even made some wallpapers from it, but you can find those on my website (([link] )) that I just updated today.

But if you're lazy and don't wanna check out my site, I've linked the wallpapers of this image:
800 x 600: [link]
1024 x 768: [link]
1280 x 1024: [link]

For this pic I used Prismacolor colored pencils blending with eachother, mostly. For the hair, shirt and shorts and some of the fur, I used Tria markers as a base. It's 11 x 14 on sketch paper. That is all! Enjoy! <3

kettjup [2005-06-21 03:01:21 +0000 UTC]

Absolutely lovely picture! The composition is excellent, and the quality of your prisma blending just knocks my socks off. @_@ It inspires me to work more with mine~ Which I shall this summer! The tree is magnificent, I love how rich the colours are, and how intricate the details of it are. ;.; Makes me want to weep. You've outdone yourself this time in my opinion, I love the fact that you were able to seamlessly integrate the 'cartoony' aspect (I use the term loosely, you know, what we all hear from our art professors e-e; basically less detailed, humanlike forms denoted with a clear outline) with the more realistic to create a very impacting piece. I want to do an art trade with you. p_q *point*

aw thanks for your awesome comment! I like to see people who know what they're doing make valid points Yeah I love drawing trees so I wanted to incorporate that somehow into the blending. And for sure, I love your stuff I'd be more than happy to do a trade I just hope it doesnt take me another year to finish the other ones i have first! lol

No problem, kinas And oi, I know how you feel, I'm the same way with trades sometimes ~_~ But let's pretend neither of us procrastinate and 'I'm sure the other person doesn't mind anyway', because god knows that always does the trick, eh? XD

That's amazing, beautiful work of art. :3 Utterly fantastic!

The detail of coloring on her fur and hair, the leaves, and especially the bark of the tree, with colored pencils, no less, is especially impressive. You did her hands and feet well, too. Must !
