THis is the result of me spending an entire day watching the ctrl+paint videos which can be found HERE! >>>>> http://ctrlpaint.com/library/ <<<<< All aspiring artists should definitely go to watch these and support this guy, Matt Kohr! He's helped me out in like a million ways.
No area in this art has improved from previous pictures more than color! I would say this was a fluke but I knew exactly what I was doing in the color composition and I meant every brush stroke. I'm so happy with myself! It almost makes me not disgusted with myself! <3
Areas I should definitely work on are how I fade the character into the background. That was done a little sloppily but everything else is more or less nice. Focal point on the rule of thirds good directional forces leading to the focal point, emphasis primarily on the focal point, all the proportions are exactly how I wanted them, the eye moves around the entire composition. Just AAAAAH Expect more shit like this~

Eyri this is amazing. You paid so much attention to detail and color in this, and it definitely shows. I'm with you on this; the color is astounding. The lighting is perfect, and every element blends excellently with the others. There is nothing "out of place" or "unnatural." I'm really impressed by this, and I mean every single word of it.
There's a reason you're my favorite artist on FurAffinity. Hell, you might be my favorite artist anywhere. It's not just "because your art looks awesome and you draw so well." That's just the thing; you don't draw your characters. You create them; you give them that personal touch, time, and dedication that so many artists forget when the almighty dollar comes into the picture and becomes the center of their world. The thing with you is that you never let that happen; you are a real artist my friend, and I want you to know that and remember that every day. You don't look at your drawing pad, pencils, and software and say, "Alright, let's see how I can maximize my profits." You take those things as your tools for creating something beautiful and wonderful that everybody can enjoy, including yourself.
You're going to go somewhere with that kind of talent and motivation, buddy, and wherever that may be, it's going to be absolutely incredible.
