Every time I look at this I am hypnotized by the beauty in this art >A< To have an artwork so gorgeous, and knowing you enjoyed the character too- that is the greatest joy to me!
I absolutely adore the composition here, the use of the smoke wisps encircling him is so beautiful! And the pose is so lovely too- he has this awesome sense of power and grace simultaneously! I also really really like how you drew his tail swirling around and the use of the background line colors to separate the tail from the limbs, it's very lovely! I'm also amazed by the sheer volume of his fluff! I love the wild flow to his hair - it has such a fabulous windswept look! And the tail, ears, elbows, and underbelly all have such lovely fluffs and tufts! I just love the way you draw fur so so so much aaaaaaa!! It always looks so soft I want to reach out and touch it! I also really like how cute his little pawpads are! aaaaa the daintiest little beans! The teeniest little claws! They make me very happy! And the flowers are incredible- I love the layering of the petals so much! Also, his expression is so cool! ahhh but the best part is the subtle diamond markings, you painted them so wonderfully! even the little pale flecks are perfect!

Hehe thank you! Always a pleasure to draw a nice design :>

and thanks again for all the compliments!
