Description
MWUAHAHAHA! It is COMPLETED!!This is my contest entry for Brianne Dahlin's Contest that she is running Go check out her journal for details. XD The piece features her Anthro Fennic Fox character Lala, in her hybrid form. I used a Brett Booth sketch for some of the pose, but otherwise it's all me baby. ^_^;
I really like the way this came out. The BG, though simple, works really well with the overall picture I think. The way I did this one is actually pretty interesting. I sketched it on paper, imported the sketch to Photoshop, inked the lines, then flat colored the piece in Photoshop as well, seperating the layers (one for fur, one for hair, one for tattoos, etc). And then after I finished that, I uploaded the file into Corel Painter 9 and then shaded, using the Preserve Transparancy. XD It saved a TON of time, not having to fill everything in by hand. ^_^; *pats self on back*
My favorite part of the image - the little swath of stars at the top. XD *is amused by simple things*
*runs off to surprise Brianne, since she just posted in her journal a few hours ago about how she wouldn't have this done until next week XDXDXD *

OOh, I really liked this picture. You do good nathro. I loved the fur and the colors! Sunsets are great. I love her face, though.

But isn't drawing by hand what it's all about? (<-- doesn't know how people work on computers so much without getting headaches). I like the character design and I think the background works well, too. The "descent" into night is very pretty ^.^

Gah! This looks great, Lynnie! Loving the colors and the pose! The way you've rendered her is so impressive that it makes me want to do a piece of this character. If only time would allow. Oh well, at least I can admire your piece.

Wow Lynnie this looks gorgeous! I never was too good at anthros, but you've done an awesome job with Lala's anthro form. I really love the posing and the colors, fantastic job. Thanks for your comments on my entry by the way. *eyes you competitively, but then grins* Good luck!!

I really dig the way you did the furry- the kind of flyaway look to it. Very realistic and lovely. I am envious of you rock- I've tried to do them before and the best I can come up with are really odd looking shapes that most definitely don't look like rocks. XP Nice job, seriously. Good luck on the contest!

Lovely image, I like how you colored it. And I love how the sky turned out - and the character of course.
great job indeed

She looks great Lynnwood! I have to agree with you on the background - it's soft, subtle, and simple. It doesn't detract the attention from her, but instead compliments her so well 
Her pose is graceful, yet strong and I find that her body is summed up in the same way - which is perfect for Lala
