Description The title explains itself... Sorta. See, you will understand the whole thing better when I get Skathach's past typed up and finished, but in short, Shathach was considered a hero by those she fought with, hundreds of years ago. However, she has always suffered from terrifying nightmares, a trait in which runs through the Karkadann bloodlines and nearly drove her own dam mad.

I originally made this wallpaper sized so I could use it for my desktop, but am so far pleased.... Though I have to edit it so it comes up smaller so it loads quicker... Though it kills the picture itself. Can barely see the linework on skatty. She was the product of my variation on the style used in *Losmios tutorial, and I have decided to adopt that variation.

As you can tell, I go lazy with the background, and you can see why I favor mists and fogs so much, they let you get away with everything! Though, I did use premade brushed for the trees and birds.

lol, see who I stuck in the background? If you can find her I will give you a cookie.

I love the character's colors and the atmosphere of the painting. The muscle and contour shading is great!

You're using that tutorial too, eh? I'm primarily a sketch artist, and I love grayscale shading. So when I found out I could make that work to my advantage in a full-color digital painting my response was "OMG YES!" We all luvs us some Losmios for that, I think. *G*

Lol, yeah. She did a wonderful job on her tutorial, and I think more people could benefit from its use. I know I have.

I just was looking through your gallery, its very cool, as well you have such cool postures for your pictures. I especially like the one you did of Van'Lerial with him rearing. That one is cool.;D

Thanks.

I should probably stop teasing people, the character in the background is Celtira, since its her woods that skatty is dreaming about...
