Description
Thanatos doing his thing... just because he can.Well, my time off work draws to an end, as my ankle is healing nicely and I'm gonna be back to long days/weekends working again (aka - sadly, less time for art). But, to wrap up some time off, I thought I'd enjoy nothing more than drawing my beautiful boy just being himself. I hope you all enjoy.

I actually really want to get back to this style of art again... drawing the image traditionally (with pencil shading) and then just adding some color in PS. I love working with pencil - there's something so amazing about the feeling of that on paper.
When I get a little more time for art, it's something I hope to be able to start doing again.

I swear he's like. One of the poster boys for the breed, everyone loves his face. Because it's impossible not to. Added to the featured folder.
Also. CloudRunner4 is a person.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe my dyslexia (or in this case complete omittance of a number)! 
I do love all my Cavittos... but there's just something special about my first, my custom, my special boy! I'm just so flattered that he is loved by others than me, and completely honored to be included in the featured folder! Thank you! And thank you for the kind words and

I just saw the tumblr comment too... thank you so much for both replies!
I forgot how much I love to work with my traditional art (I've done this style with him a time or two in the past). I had the pencil sketch from before, and just had to go back and add some PS colors. It's very relaxing and enjoyable for me working this way (half traditional, half digital). I think if I get a little more time in the future, I might try to do some more art of him (and my other Cavittos) this way. It is fun for me, and seems to be appreciated by my watchers here. Thank you so much for the lovely comments!

You're welcome!
your traditional stuff is really lovely. And I'm the same; I used to do traditional only, and since reaching a truce with my tablet I've done digital so much that I'm often surprised how much I miss my drawing pencil when I go back
Mixed media is fun to work with, though - traditional drawing and digital colour. I think that scanned paper adds a lovely texture to the art, but digital is so much easier for getting colours and effects right. I'd definitely love to see more!

Exactly... I love the traditional (and texture of the pencil), but appreciate how easy digital is at getting the "right" color. It's a great combo. And I do hope I'll get some more time to practice again soon.

Yep; best of two mediums

That's absolutely amazing! I love that flowing mane and Thanatos' colors are so beautiful.
The reference picture is gorgeous but you made your own interpretation even more stunning and your own drawing style clearly shows.
I am happy to hear that your ankle has healed but sad if that means less art from you. I hope you manage to squeeze some time for drawing also despite long working hours.

Thank you so much! It means so much that you like this, and can see my style in it too. I had so much fun with this one - I've had the pencil sketch done for a while, but finally took the time to add some PS colors to it and make my boy come to life. I do so enjoy working on him.
And luckily, I've got a few more things started, that won't take too much effort to finish... so even when I'm back to my crazy work schedule, I'll still be able to post some art.
And thank you for the

You're very welcome!
I am glad to see your plan has worked, there are many beautiful pictures in my inbox from you waiting for me to comment!
Too bad my crazy work schedule has kept me away from computer and dA but it should get easier soon; the busiest time of the year will end in couple of weeks!
Hopefully your crazy schedule also turns less crazy soon.

LOL, it's amazing how quickly our inboxes fill, when RL gets busy.
And yet, I wouldn't trade watching any of the amazing or inspiring artists that fill it up. It just takes me a little while to get around to viewing/commenting/fav'ing all the fabulous pics.
I totally understand. So no hurries on looking at my pics... they are there to stay. And yeah for the busiest time of the year almost being over!

Same here, I rather keep all the awesome art in my inbox waiting for proper time to comment rather than not having them there at all.
