Artist's Comments

Collab with :iconflannmoriath:
She did the line art, I colored it. It's her character Kirsten.

:star:View the process steps here: [link]:star:

Experimented a lot with how I colored it. Did things like making and using custom textured brushes, coloring and shading over the lineart instead of under it, and adding smaller details such as fur and fabric patterns. Hope it looks alright.

Had a ton of trouble with the fur (and it still looks weird), I will definitely have to keep working on it. I discovered a bit to late in the coloring process, that fur is easier to do starting with a dark base, and adding the lighter hair strands on top. Oh well, now I know. And will try it out next time I have to do long fur. XD XD

I saved progress shots of the coloring, I might upload them in a flash sideshow. Dunno, depends how lazy I am. =p

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH HOLY FRIGGIN GOD, I just LOVE it!!!! Ah, where to begin.... The texture and patterns on the pillows are WOW amazing! The curtains are awesome, and contrast wonderfully with the sky, which is also wonderfully colored. The lighting is gorgeous - nice light lights and very dark darks. :D The fur texture is AWESOME. I love the way it "clumps" together. If anything looks off about the fur, I think it's that there's too much of it on her shoulders (that might not be the case, but it sorta seems that way to me 8D), but other than that I think it's perfect!! I love the little designs in the book too. :love:!!!! AWESOME AWESOME JOB!! I'll be sure to draw more sketches for you to color, so you can have more practice with long fur!! ;) (as we discussed earlier, you will have to color them before I draw the sketch :nod: )

*glomps the flann comments* :glomp:

Thank you!

Not sure what to do about the shoulder. *lazy*. XD Looks funky, but it might not be just the furs faults. XD

Okay, well I've prepared my colors, now I just need a lineart to put them in. =p
