Description
The finished version of [link]My scanner massacred this! It took away some of the color, especially in the moss. It was supposed to be more green, no white! Stupid scanner! It looks so much better on the original >.
I will admit I really like the end result. I really wished to try for a change instead of rushing like I normally do, especially near the end (still kinda did that but not as bad).
I decided this specific Earth Serai is going to be a female. I think the tan body color and goldish eyes make this one seem kinda femaleish XD! The antlers, like I said on the lined version, do resemble an Elk's (at least what I could do) and the antlers along the back are kinda random, no deer specific. Along the ones in the back is indeed moss. It just kinda resembles...running goo o_O. I like the plants growing off of the antlers though! The little bird is still quite ugly XD!
Hope the background isn't too bad, took forever to clean up around it when I pasted the image onto it...ugh. Critique is welcome but be nice
Enjoy!All Earth Serai and all Serai species are © ...me!

If this has been mussed a bit by a tempermental scanner I would die of awesomeness exposure if I saw the real one...

It's so beautiful... kind of reminds me of the Forest Spirit from Princess Mononoke. The whole thing just emanates calm and peace.

I really like the soft coloring you used. Was it done with colored pencils?
(oh, and I understand the whole scanner bit. I hate when that happens)

Whoops, I always forget to put what I used 
But yes, it was done with colored pencils, the only real media I know how to use lol!
I agree, scanners suck >.👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I tried to use colored pencils before, but I suck at coloring in my drawings.
It might just be that I need some better colored pencils, but mine always leave a lot of white spots when I use them.
I have to use photoshop to darken my pictures that I scan. >_<

I dunno, I just use Crayola and..another brand I can't think of the name for LOL! It also helps to have a good sharpener too, keeps the lead from going weak and crumbly.
LOL! that kinda sucks! Scanners don't help either o_o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, the sharpener might be the problem then. Mine's old and crappy.

Lol, quite possibly then yes.
