Description I was this close to using "foxy" as a title rip

Anyways this is a portrait that took me a little too long, and the lady in it is none other that Ysma Thae from the webcomic Chains  from the seriously talented and always kind sylessae . Go read it if you like badass ladies and fantasy!!

Ysma is property of
and hopefully my interpretation isn't too far off from the original design, besides how long it took me....

This is very beautiful! I love the way you render and the gentle warm and cool contrast in the lighting! I'm kinda in awe with the way you do hair, on the character and the light texturing of fur on the fox! This is amazing work!

Wow thank you sm!! I'm still figuring out proper lighting and what not, but it's great to know i'm going down the right path so far. I also spend most of the time on the hair, so I appreciate your words a lot! animals are still very foreign creatures to me since I'm not used to painting them, but they're fun for sure haha. 

thanks again for taking the time to give me feedback, i really appreciate it!!

Opalotls In reply to candemarzat [2018-04-10 19:15:42 +0000 UTC]

You're very welcome! You did a great job with the lighting, so definitely on the right track and it really shows, the hair is just wonderful to look it! ^^ I know what you mean, I don't draw many animals either, I'd have to practice them a lot! But that fox looks amazing and well done, it doesn't show that you're not used to painting them.

No problem, thank you so much for your feedback too! It really means a lot!

candemarzat In reply to Opalotls [2018-04-10 19:24:17 +0000 UTC]

Well, that's really helpful to know, I'm so grateful for your feedback! I do have to draw more animals though, especially because one of my ocs is supposed to have a bunch of pets so it's a disservice to her to forget about them whenever I paint her .
The piece you have with a jellyfish is absolutely gorgeous though, I'm obsessed with all the colors and how full of grace it looks! honestly goals <33

Opalotls In reply to candemarzat [2018-04-15 14:17:05 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome, it's a beautiful piece! Tbh having an OC that has a lot of pets is a perfect way to practice drawing animals, and a different variety too so that is pretty cool! Thank you so much for the lovely words once again, it means the world to know that someone likes my work! I enjoyed painting the jellyfish, and getting colourful is a lot of fun too ^^ gahh, you are super nice thank you! You're amazing with your digital work, flawless rendering and character in your pieces! For me, your digital skills, are goals! ^^

Aaaa, so sorry for never replying before! I feel really bad now, but thank your taking the time to leave this comment regardless. I've been feeling very demotivated lately and reading this actually made me feel better, so even if it's almost a month old now I wanted to thank you still

LillenArte [2018-03-02 07:55:25 +0000 UTC]

Out of all the entries, I genuinely thought you had one of the best designs and composition. The sap green fiery orange color contrast really helps this one stand out from the rest. I don't really know the story but I like that you tried to show a relationship between these too.

candemarzat In reply to LillenArte [2018-03-02 23:21:43 +0000 UTC]

That's so sweet of you to say, thank you lots!! There's so many gorgeous entries on the contest too, I myself  had quite the hard time picking just three! And the fox doesn't actually show up on the story as far as I know, but I felt like the character was very similar in personality to what the fox represents in pop culture and folklore, so I ended up adding one in to honour that (besides giving me an excuse to paint a fluffy friend haha). 
And if you ever have some time to spare I definitely recommend giving the webcomic a try, it's still very early on but the art is espectacular and the story is shaping up to be quite wonderful too. But still, I appreciate the comment a lot, thanks again for dropping by to give some feedback!

My pleasure, UwU~ and That's great! she does have a nice simple yet unique design.

Archidaequiem [2018-02-18 07:21:49 +0000 UTC]

Ooh.  wow.  Her hair looks so, so soft!  She's absolutely gorgeous too.  I have to admit I didn't go and look at the comic, but the way you portrayed her looks amazing anyway.  The detail around her eyes, the shading on her nose; they're perfect!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

candemarzat In reply to Archidaequiem [2018-02-18 17:00:23 +0000 UTC]

The comic is only starting though, so you still have time (?)

Nah, but seriously though I appreciate your feedback a lot! I trust your critical eye (you have amazing skills and always bother to give in-depth comments on top of that!), and I always feel humbled when I hear your takes on my art. I personally adore Ysma as a character too, she's the kind of smart and calculating lady that I love reading or knowing about, so painting her was just an amazinga experience. 

Plus I got to add a fox, and even though I hadn't ever drawn one I did found out they were a lot of fun to paint! (and I definitely learned a ton about fur, I think)

You're welcome, I'm glad my little comments are helpful to you.  I've been a bit slow on the commenting front lately, but I still manage to get some of them through.  I really love the look of this piece though.

I've never been good at animals, but I'm practicing them slowly.

aww it's so cute how the fox "kisses" her cheek! x3 it's so adorable and with that skill, I think a wolf would look amazing in your style as well! *-* I really like her skin and hair and how you did the golden parts on her clothes! and that picture frame effect is really cool c:

candemarzat In reply to SuiroAtair [2018-02-17 19:48:39 +0000 UTC]

Omg, thank you!! And now I'm excited to try to draw a wolf as well, they're such majestic creatures that I was a bit intimidated to try my hand at them. But your vote of confidence definitely encourages me, besides I think it's important to draw everything at least once

I'll just try not to disappoint now, but your words do mean a lot 💕

SuiroAtair In reply to candemarzat [2018-02-17 23:39:25 +0000 UTC]

you can draw an adorable fluffy fox, then I'm sure you can draw a majestic wolf as well c: I think drawing new things is challenging most of the time but it's fun too ^^
haha I'm sure you won't disappoint and I'm glad! x3 ♡

That is super gorgeous...definitely one of my faves of yours even though it's super hard to choose!

Omg, thank you!! I feel like Ysma is probably melting inside from cuteness here, but she's just too cool to show it

And this makes me want to draw more animals, I can't believe I was scared of painting them before because they're so much fun omg, definitely worth the challenge!

Again too, thank you sm for the sweet comment ❤❤

Honestly though your interpretation of Ysma is part of what inspired me so much to try and tackle her on a portrait! I've never thought yellow could look as good, and you're one to speak of elegance since all of your characters look straight out of a glamorous lifestyle or even a magazine omg
