Description My first entry for Reldia 's 264 Lila Breeding Art Contest .

So this is the first "complete" piece of artwork I've done in a while. Since October to be more exact. My folders are full of unfinished stuff I've started during that time, but I lost the muse to continue working on them. Hopefully this piece will be able to get all the rust off!

Some new stuff went on during the making of this one. I wanted to give my copic markers a serious try again (they refused to agree with me D: ), but since my color palet is very limited, I decided to make a traditional greyscale and color it digitally.
Unfortunately, one of the copics ran out (even though it hasn't been used all that much, kind of wondering why it did that so soon) and it set me back a bit, because I had to make everything darker to compensate.
Here's what the traditional part looks like, in case you're curious: Lily Lyrics Greyscale Tried a slightly different style for the lineart too, I think it fits Lila nicely (:

Then I jumped on SAI and did everything else

I'm really pleased with how this turned out, it's actually better than I expected, which doesn't happen often!
Also, so ridiculously happy with that robin that I have to throw a detail shot here: Lily Lyrics Robin

Hope you like it, Reldia! Now I'll see if I can finally get my colored pencils to agree with me again for that second entry

This is absolutely gorgeous! The bone struture, the nose. The Robin sitting on the branch. Your coloring, the depth of your shading while still looking soft and natural. Great job.

No problem, it was nothing just speaking the truth!  
Honestly you're art is vary pulchritudinous and vary realistic!
From my experience to going to Horse back riding, I got to say
it's vary on point and lively!  
But, this is coming from someone not as talented as you, so your art
is goals! You've earned a new watcher!  I can't wait to see more of your
fascinating art, and talent!

My goodness this is so incredibly gorgeous, love! Not to mention how nice it is to see your pretty art again I absolutely adore the wavy mane and the arch of her neck, and those flowers are just stunning! Really love the pop of color the robin adds, too! I hope to see more of your art soon!

It's so nice to be creating actual art again! I've been on a roll lately, I don't know what hit me all of a sudden, but it can hit me every time. Hard

Thank you so much I'm glad I decided to stick with the robin because I wasn't so sure about it while I was still on the traditional stages!

You know, whenever I think of drawing flowers, lilies are the ones that immediately come to mind, and I thought they were so fitting of her that I couldn't resist <3 I'm glad you think they go well with Lila too!
