"The first time she saw him, Marina knew that he was something special. His night black fur and striking deep blue eyes were nothing like she's ever seen before. Eyes like hers, for which she named him 'Azure'. She knew he'd never let her down, she could see the honesty and strength in his eyes. And over time, she would find out they shared a connection unlike any other child and dog. Something magical, otherworldly. And something that will drive her and Azure to the center of a wicked and dangerous adventure..."
This piece and the characters are based off a dream I had, which I've adapted (aka gotten carried away with) into a story! Marina the girl (12 years old) and Azure the German shepherd (age unknown), are a pair that share a celestial bond. They met when a mysterious wealthy old man passed away, and left his home, his dog and his entire estate to Marina, an orphan. She hadn't known him, and the mystery of her inheritance is the center of the first part of the story.
I don't want to reveal all that much, since the story is in it's infancy at this time. But I just HAD to draw these two! I uploaded four WIP shots so you can get an idea of my process: http://www.furaffinity.net/full/2478234/

Sounds like a very interesting dream and an intriguing story! I always like how you draw the fur, it has that nice clean and soft look, which is one reason why I think she is hugging him XD.
You did great with the expressions in this one and the colors really set the mood, somewhat dark and mysterious but with that little sense of magic and childlike wonder. Nice work.

That story sounds really different and unique; I'd like to read it whenever it's finished. Azure is absolutely adorable and fluffy--interesting colors for a German Shepard, but then again, he doesn't seem to be entirely of this earth. I didn't even know you drew people--Marina looks like a very strong female character with that expression and protective look in her eyes. I especially like her shoes and hoodie. Also, the sky looks very beautiful--such a smooth transition from blue to purple, and with stars too. Lovely work! I want a pet like that.
Actually this time I uploaded four progress shot of the piece as well as a description of the media and what I did! Check it out: http://www.furaffinity.net/full/2478234/ =)
