auri! though she goes by dust these days. she's my original fursona who later became an oc - i last drew her 6 years ago! i thought it'd be fun to bring her back and imagine how she'd have changed during those 6 years.

i've also been wanting to try fully painting a background instead of just parts of it, it was honestly very fun! i decided to not use my cloud "cheat" brush this time, it took like 6 tries to get the clouds to look how i wanted them to but it was worth it :3

the colours and lighting are inspired by  wuffe 's work, their stuff has been inspiring me for ages

alt text: a digital painting slash drawing. its colour scheme is primarily deep blue and bright yellow. it features a bluish-grey anthro fox, dressed in loose jeans and an unzipped yellow jacket with various buttons on it. she's got her hands in her jacket's pockets. she looks tired, like she's been through a lot. she's looking at the viewer with a weary smile. she's standing on what looks to be an old weathered concrete pier, with dead grass poking out through the cracks in it. behind her is one support of an electric transmission tower, which is connected by overhead wires to another one in the far distance. also in the far distance is what looks to be a nuclear power plant with two cooling towers, they each have "03" written on them. in the far distance fluffy clouds can be seen just above the water.
