Description "I walked across an empty land

I knew the pathway like the back of my hand

I felt the earth beneath my feet

Sat by the river and it made me complete"

Somewhere Only We Know - Keane [Lily Allen version]

*curls up*

Finally I finished this off, though I feel really guilty for using one of my photos for the background [taken in Wales] because I was stuck on what to do .n.

I'm so happy that I finally got this done! And Im so sorry for how late it is Gemgem, but I hope it looks alright! If you want me to edit anything, just say!

I'm not too happy with the fish, but I've never really drawn them before .n.

Anyway, here you go! Thank you for commissioning me!

I think the only issue with the fish is that you haven't changes the angle of the scales as much as the angle of the body, which is why it looks a bit off. Although the scales are getting larger towards the middle of the fish, you should be seeing fewer of them and seeing them from behind.

I hope that helps, otherwise it's brilliant

Yeah I have a problem with the fish xD I was having difficulty trying to make it look like a fish, but I'll look up some references and try and redraw the fish at some point!

I should have used a reference for drawing it xD

Thank you for the critique and help!

Wow, this is gorgeous! The photo for a background adds a neat effect! The attention to detail is absolutely stunning, from the water and tree to the creature itself! I love the shading and sunlight dapples, and the mane is very well drawn. The facial expression is great too! Amazing job on this!

Wow, this is wonderful.

I was honestly amazed when I saw this. I had a strong feeling you were going to do well with the background, and I was really excited to see what it was. In fact, you've done more than well, you've done absolutely fantastic. The background is truly gorgeous, and blends in with everything else so nicely. When you said that you had the idea of using one of your own photos for the background, I was really interested, and curious as to how you were going to go about editing the details. 

You've done a wonderful job on Iocosa. That pose is very creative, and expresses his personality nicely indeed. Fantastic job on the anatomy, and it's interesting how you portray it since he's an original species. Wonderful job on his facial features. I love how you've drawn the eyes and muzzle. You pay attention to detail and ensure the structure is correct. His emotions are expressed fantastically through his face. Also, I adore the shading you've drawn on his body. The perspective is great. It adds a lot of depth to the drawing and is very natural too. The dapples of sunlight are gorgeous, and make it look more realistic. The smoothness is nice too. Also, his markings are brilliant. They're rather complicated, especially with the shapes. The way you've drawn them is fantastic. The shapes are accurate, they look natural, they're not messy. You've done a gorgeous job. I love the paws too. ;u; Your concept of anatomy is truly something I love. It's always so wonderful. Fantastic job on his mane by the way. >U< The amount of details you put into your drawings is amazing. Back to the background, I love the blur effect you've added to the picture. It's certainly caused it to blend in with the cartoonized look. The water is amazing too. ;u; The way you draw water is great. You get the flow correct, and the shades are blended so nicely. It looks so smooth. Also, that fish is brilliant! You're good at drawing fish. They're not easy to draw. Those scales are fantastic. ;u; That tree. >U< Ahh so many details. The amount of effort you've put into this drawing is stunning. The tree truly is superb, I adore that texture. The entire drawing is marvellous. ;u; Thank you so much for this. It was well worth the wait!
