Description A Premium Commission for

I have drawn many of Piranis's characters before, but I was super excited to do this one, because I've always wanted to draw her sun bear mascot~!

She wanted to see her sun bear swimming with her pet fish in a place that resembles the forest near her home town.
I really liked drawing this, the whole thing was so relaxing to work on with all the sweeping lines and fun little details in the background stuff.

Hope you all enjoy it as much as I loved drawing it! : D

Illustration belongs to me.
Character belongs to the client.

Ohmygosh, I love how chubby and fluffy you made the bear!! The pose is simply adorable. I also especially like the plants in this piece - the seaweed, the little clumps of leaves under the tree, and those yellowy-green bushes further back - I just really love the greens and the textures!

ACTUALLY, I am opening some slots tomorrow, believe it or not! Would you like me to put you down on the list as a reserve slot for now? You could also wait for when I put up a journal tomorrow, but often times my list fills up fast when I advertise the openings.

Gullara In reply to nettlebeast [2012-06-04 06:35:57 +0000 UTC]

Oh! Sure, put me down as reserved. I'll work on getting you a description typed up after work tomorrow, then. He's quite an... interesting bear, so I hope you'll have fun with it.

Yay! The more background work I get to do, the happier I always am!
ALSO really good news! I could start your commission THIS week, as many of the clients on my list have their slots on hold while they save extra money or develop character references! I dunno if you were ready for me to start so early, though, so it's up to you!
