Description

Clean render may be released on it's own later.

Well, look who actually got something done. No, not me... That'd be silly. For those who don't already know, this is based off of a sketch made by :iconhoney-laurel17: in her character sheet located at this [link] .

My original plan was to get this AND an Art Trade done over the break but I am lazy and lots of stuff happened with friends over the break (nothing bad, just hanging out and enjoying the break) and I lost track of time until I had really.. no time left to use. ^^; My bad.

I improvised a lot of the background to fit this picture into a realistic environment yet again because I'm trying to move away from the black backgrounded color splats like I mentioned in my last pic. This was also a small experiment in another way because I ran this picture through some filters (to make it look less dull) and the shine that came out really caught my eye and a couple bud's eyes so I stuck with a filter version.

Anyways, here we have Saff.. the lazy bum is basking in the moonlight with a cocky grin on his face, the bastard. <3

If he's enjoying sitting there as much as I enjoyed working on this pic, no wonder why he's grinning so huuge... xD

You can also Critique me into my grave if you wish. =P

To say " awesome " or " excellent" would be a simple understatement.
First, the background is simply amazing, the moon and clouds look so realistic and close, the dark sky with it´s little, bright stars is just indescribeable. As well as your character. I really like his design, the black marks in his face and the cream white stripes around his spines suit the dark colour perfectly! As well as the bright purple on his boots! ( man, I really like the effect of the stripes, it looks like ivory )
Your technique with the shading is awesome, too! I like the thin white line which goes with the shading!

But there´re also some negative things.
The very first thing I noticed was his levt leg. Is it anatomically even possible to move it like this? You should have drawn the shoe more from it´s bottom instead of the side. I know you used *Honey-laurel17´s lineart but that doesn´t mean you couldn´t fix it a bit. The hand looks quite fine to me but the fingers got a little big.
The grass is more like a thorn in the flesh. It looks so simple and blank. A few more details like a flower, light effects or shading would have been great!
Also I think the eye, the litte part between forehead and nose, looks a bit too shaped. A little curve or something would fits it great but I think that´s a matter of taste <img src="e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />

Sure, there are some things you could improve but the all around look of the artwork, the coloring, this .. effect.. I can´t take my eyes off, honestly. It just blew up my mind <img src="e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/l…" width="23" height="16" alt=":love:" title="Love" />
Keep drawing such amazing art ~<img src="e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/h…" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />
