Description
Something different than what I usually do, and what a fun this was!
This surrealism, tattoo-like optic is something I almost never do, but it was really good not have try
to draw as realistically as possible for once, and just creating a nice mood.
The Yin and Yang theme offers itself so perfectly for my babies, that it surprise me a little that I didn't think of it earlier.
But well, now it's done, and I couldn't be happier with the result!
And admittedly, perfect balance is not exactly what comes to my mind, when I think of the relationship between Killian and Fenya. xD
But in a certain way, they complement each other anyway, and the constant mental and physical struggle,
ultimately forms a working harmony of different, and strong feelings, which keeps them together!

Here're some other drawings of my characters Fenya and Killian:
I hope you will like it!

Well, very understandable. And if I can recall, vampires are not Christmas motivated either but I don't want to seem like a grouch online.

Sorry to talk ur ear off, but how do you go about coloring white fur? its the one ive had the most trouble with
like, what are the names of the colored pencils u use and the paints (if used ) and whatnot please

Oh don't worry, I gladly try to help. c:
White fur/hair is not really drawn in my pictures, rather painted with white gouache.
For the primer, I use water soluble, black colored pencils, then mix this with a little white gouache,
and paint the individual strands and details with very fine brushes and gouache. To add more depth to the whole thing,
I draw over everything again with different shades of gray and very bright blue colored pencils,
and finally added a few highlights again with gouache.
Admittedly, that's a very rough description, and I often have to create many layers to ultimately get the look I want.
But if I don't forget it, I will make for the next picture, which includes a lot of white fur, a detailed walkthrough.^^

Thanks a bunch! This is very helpful!
i need to start adding bgs too

Oh yes, backgrounds.. I was hesitant for a long time to draw them,
'cause it's damn hard to learn to create atmospheric backgrounds, but it's really worth it, they can enrich your works immensely!
Meanwhile, are my backgrounds often much more praised than the actual characters in the foreground. :')

lol that was my same reasons for not drawing them, its a pain in the ass, and im a rusher and i just wanna move on to coloring, which i am currently working on.
I absolutely do love your bgs.

Yeah, I totally agree with that, but that's exactly why I recommend you practice it,
it's just frustrating when you have such a big lack in your artistic ability. :/
Thank you very much, and also thanks for the watch, I appreciate it!

Thank you so much dear!
To paint this background was a real treat, at first it was planned to make this fading out effect rather smoky,
but then I decided for something more surreal. (Which was probably the more wise choos anyway) :')
