So, I spent an hour or two rocking out to the Scissor Sisters and working on it. I had a surprising and interesting experience employing all the different things I've learned since, working with traditional, and also everything I've soaked up in painting class, and the finished image is rather different than the thing I started on. The most noticeable difference is the color leading into and obscuring the figure, which enables image to lead the eye through and out again. It creates a more coherent image, thus avoiding the cookie-cutter look. I am finally escaping that dastardly cartoon influence that retarded my work for so long.
This one is surprisingly popular on DA and I'm not entirely certain why.
Prints available.

Whoooo, artspam. I wish you wouldn't do this, I can't comment on everything!
So, I chose my favourite. I love the pose, and the fur is all perfectly rendered. I have a pension for tall and skinny as well, I think it looks fabulous if it's done right. And this is definitely done right.

Oh, the glimmering segue between the curtain of rain and the sun !
It's where the rainbows come from ! =^^=
Nice artisitic trick, I'll have to agree - it's a good way to emphasize the subtle traits of a drawn object rather than letting the contour dominate the viewer's attention span.
Cartoony styles have a decadent tendency of sacrificing essencial detail to affection-grappling cuteness and simplistic exaggerated expression. They have their strong points, though, like the aforementioned cuteness ;3
It's awesome to see how even the established artists that get their share of fairly earned feedback, still have both stamina and will to pursue perfection further and further on.

It's popular on DA because it's all artsy and could hint at a deeper meaning. It's one of the reasons I left there. Too critical a crowd looked my way and wouldn't let me draw just to draw. lol
I'm loving this image myself despite that. That's a great idea to do hand dyed paper for a background like that.

It looks incredible. It seems to incoperate a large number of textures and types of design in it; with the somewhat water-color b.g. to the rain soaked form of the afghan. Which, I might add seems to be a lesser seen breed on here :). Overall, I love how it came out and it seems to show your own progress in the skill of your art. It is just that little bit different from some of your previous works :)
I love that it's so ambiguous. On one hand, there's the paper stains, there's the rain and the umbrella and the sopping wet fur and coat; the character isn't all "Siiiingin' in the rain" about it either. But there's light from behind, and it catches on the back of the character's tail, and on his watch, and it seems almost uplifting, angelic even.
It kind of dances between these two extremes of hopefulness and misery, and that's really what stands out about the picture, to me anyway.

I had an idea for a picture kinda like this... never got around to it.
And you can't figure out why it's the most popular? Taking a look at it shows exactly just how much thought, effort and passion ya put into it! :D
The way the colors meld and seemingly train the eye to follow the figure, the way the light bounces off the umbrella and the way the body seemingly interacts with every element in the picture almost flawlessly.
Full of emotion. Great job.

I was listening to the intro from 'Children of the Sun' when I was looking at this, and I agree, music's great to pair with art. There's just something about it that I find I like, which I admit is somewhat inexplicable. I can really comprehend the feelings of the figure. I also like the burst of light in the Top Left corner with the darker tones throughout the rest. Get rain like this where I live. I like the sunlight reflection on the watch face crystal, that's a nice touch. I like the dark marble look of the background, it has a very rain-soaked concrete look to it, makes me think of old and not especially cared for walls I've seen, but then it also conjures up enormously expensive marble walls. The faded look of the figure at the base of the picture is another thing I quite like. Back to the emotions of the figure, I've felt that way, as it's quite easy to get that soaked here even with an umbrella and wet weather gear. Just makes me think, "Oh, she just has to get to where she's going, but she ought to watch her step!" The obscuring of her eyes is nice, I've always thought hiding expression if done right is an excellent statement of emotion. I'm reminded of a line from my favorite Dr. Who episode, "Sad is Happy for deep people."
