PLEASE FULL VIEW

You can also find this piece at my other account - [link] I try to remain active over there as well.


This is a commission for [link] and [link] I don't know if Arskatheman has seen it yet but tamurross was very pleased with it ^__^. I had a lot of fun working with this one and was very glad I had an opportunity to paint something spring related again :D. I just love nature!

This is their character Shiro who is a weasel anthro lounging on a cherry blossom tree with Mount Fuji (Japan) in the background. The cherry blossoms are from a custom brush that I made my self that I actually painted from scratch, and then I went over the blossoms with color and some shading so that it gave the illusion of many blossoms :3 I wanted this to look somewhat like a movie cap, or like it was on the big screen :D.

I hope you all like it ^___^!


(EDIT) Oh my! My first DD, Oh thank you so much! :cries: I've never really won anything before! What a kind and warm suprise to find in this cold early morning. Really thank you so very much! :heart:

(EDIT 2) Due to a request, I have made it an option to have this as a print =). Thank you! =D

Happy holidays to everyone!

Daily Deviation

Given 2008-12-15

While browsing the New Deviations channel, I came across 'Pink Snow Commission'. At first, I didn't quite know what to think of it, because the small-view image isn't very clear. But to see it full-sized... It takes my breath away. The detail put into the cherry blossoms (a custom-made brush!), the fur of the weasel, and the gorgeous setting are all Daily Deviation-worthy. And if this piece isn't quite your cup of tea, please browse *Axolotl-mafia's gallery for more wonderful anthro artwork! (Suggested by ~RinSakura-chan and Featured by `skifi)

Your work never ceases to impress me. The color is so vivid and pops, and the figure so lounged yet well perched.

Amazing.

I have to say the foreground is amazing. It does add that cinema touch you were looking for, in my opinion. :)

Its about freedom of expression- that means everyone has a right to express themselves how they want. Commissioning Artists!! Don't let yourself be stomped on.

It's lovely, but I couldn't figure out what was with the cigarette resting on the tree branch. It took me forever to figure out it was on one of those long cigarette holders. If you gave it a highlight or something it wouldn't blend into the tree so much.

I'm suprised this doesn't have way more favs and comments. I don't usually care much for anthro, but this is superbly well done. I especially love the flowers that are blurred in the foreground, the smoke, and the background. The sakura flowers are also stunning. The whole piece is quite goregous. Although, two things kind of bother me. Maybe it's just me, but it looks like his tongue is on fire? Also, there seems to be an out of place red claw next to his face. It could be a character design, and if so, nevermind. Just thought I'd point that out. Anyways, beautiful piece, and I'll end this massively long comment now! :D
