Oh hey, very nice scene!

Thanks ! Back in '01 i didn't know about furry stuff beginning to emerge online - i think i got my first comp around '02 or '03 - so this 81/2 x 8 1/2 inch drawing was just a practice/idea sketch for a comic book i was thinking of doing ... which is to say that the inking was rather sloppy, etc ; there are over a hundred saved stages of edits ( i always save stages unless i oops or the program crashes while working ) - about 80 of the edits where trying to get the colours just right - that number being so high because i had taken a download of the old FA WIP version and tried out some lighting ideas on it, just fooling aroung again ... ... then i had to try to remember what i did to reproduce that on the full size original ...

I love the subtle lighting here -- you did that just for her...

The lighting and colours here are all about drama and mood - one of the other versions in the works is approaching the pic with realistic lighting and base colours...but i have a whole lot of pictures in line before i get to that.

Oh, wonderful stuff.

i tries to make my pictures wonderstandable.

Indeed!

*chuckles...

The use of highlights on this is amazing. I just love your shading and the use of heavy black for the shadowing.

It's pretty difficult to get away with black or grey shadows in a painting (unless a night scene etc) - so coloured inkings are where black gets to shine (so to speak).

Your ink-work is outstanding! I'm in awe 👀

my 'reply-work' is less than outstanding than my 'ink-work'. i was searching through some thread or other and came across this lovly compliment that for whatever reason i failed to see. An Astonishing Accurate Assessment of my Inking - i occasionally challenge myself but usually settle for good-enough for the colour /value to fill in the details.
