You know, I'm amused so many people comment on how great the fur is, when what I see most and love about this piece is that absolute tenderness in their gestures and expressions. You can really FEEL the love in this work...just those soft expressions and the way his arms warp around her and her's reach for him...it's very touching. You did a beautiful job!
I know I do... But then, I portray intense emotions in just about everything I write, so I've gotten to where I silently appreciate things instead of commenting about it... I dunno, that's just me. I'm not sure about others, but I don't always write out my appreciation for things. I personally spend a lot of my time looking up highly emotional pieces so I can have facial references, so I guess you could say I'm used to seeing these kinds of moments... I just have a hard time with fur and feathers. lol (ironic, because I have them both)
Ehehe, oh I get that! Writing is a completely different ball field and one I frankly suck at! And trust me, I understand how hard wet fur is to render...I'm still trying to tackle it successfully myself. And of course it's nice to be told when you've done something well, as Kat most definitely has! But I think the thing we strive most for as illustrators is to get an emotion, a snapshot of a moment in time, across to our viewers. Just like you would to your readers. It's great to say to someone "I really like how you drew/wrote this segment!" but I think even more special when one says "What you drew/wrote really made me feel this way, and think about this. I was touched."
And oh yeah, fur and feathers are a pain. XD Everyone draws them differently, but I'm sure you'll find what works well for you. :) I'm still learning what works well for me!!! *laughs*
