That looks awesome! Wonderful job hon

Thanks!

very impressive. the bg is well done. nice job :)

Thanks it took a lot of time to do the background :0

i can see that :P

whoa this is amazing yup yup

Im glad you think so!

That looks terriffic . wish I could skinny dip with you.

I bet you would X3 thanks atary

:3 thanks. It took a long time so im glad you think so

you've outdone yourself, love the detail in the hair and bubbles. what year did you start this?

Maybe a year and a half ago? I dont remember exactly. I stopped working on it for months and came back to it every so often

Wow.
That's some dedication to your work! And it paid off!

Thanks! Im glad it shows

epic :V

:3 yeah!

This is very good for being one of your first digital paintings. Since it's your first, do you want feed back on it or just a good ol' thumbs up?

As long as it isnt too harsh, im cool with critique. im really proud of it, but i can see ive made mistakes XD so go for it lol. ;D maybe also do a thumbs up though haha

The hair is amazing, I honestly think that's the highlight of the piece. The scene is set up well, and there's a interesting vibe of emotion that peeks curiosity about what the story might be. I feel it could have been pushed a little further on the parts that face away from the light. The definition of the leg that faces towards the darker end of the cave where Moo's leg is for example, is rather sharp, when it should be very soft looking. That's actually nothing big, especially for a first painting. The hair, again, perfect I feel, and the background has good depth.

thanks and yeah i agree. i need to do more light studies x.x

That is really neat. so many details! Looks like it could be in some epic graphic novel, or an intro picture page for a fantasy novel chapter. :)

:o thanks, thats so nice of you to say

My pleasure! ^_^

This is really quite beautiful. :)

:3 thank you

Beautiful!

Thanks!

Wonderful work! But a bit of critique if you'd like:

For the background, don't worry too much on the detail when it comes to the far rear of the background. In addition to the lighter thing are the farther they are, the farther things are, the less defined they are and the less work you have to put in those particular areas.

One other thing I noticed, is that the main character are underwater, but it looks like they are floating around midair.
The best way to help this out is to add more bubbles around the area. Maybe some sea life, starfish, a bit of kelp here and there, clams, coral, reflective light on the subjects, defining the surface of the water or a adding a school of fish or two. If those bubbles coming from the characters weren't there and if their hair wasn't the way it was, I would have thought that they were in a cave and they had mysterious floating powers.

Backgrounds are awesome, yes, but giving subtle clues in the background not only enhances the background, but the characters as well.
You can also detail the fur almost like you detailed the hair. As long as it flows in it's respective direction.

Great work though, I can't wait to see the next piece you make!

Thank you, that is helpful indeed :3 I look forward to the next one too. i need to be able to do backgrounds faster but i hate zooming in and seeing things i make not detailed x.x lol gotta work on it!

Haha, don't worry about it. I definitely need to work on my Bgs too.
I'm trying to speedpaint. I heard those are the best in just doing the fundamentals.

Very keen! :)

Thank you! x3

Oh that background is wonderful.

Damn hon you really put a lot into this and it shows!

Thanks belle. im so glad it shows! i did put a lot into it :3

YAY!!! :3 I am glad you like it Jonas! X3 i put a lot of work in and im pleased with the outsome. im glad you are too

Great art!

Thanks ^^

Art like this is rather hard to come by tbh. Got really great details put down into it. and tbh, personally prefer stuff like this over generic, bland porn anyday. This got effort and... brain fizzle on the word... but it has those put into it.

Aww thank you :3 i appreciate it

You're welcome. Especially considering the ratio of content, it is neat to see more of this type.

All of the effort you put in definitely shows. This looks absolutely amazing.

thank you very much :3

I LOVE the hair! D= Looks amazing! Not JUST the hair but the mane, the tail fur, the fetlocks around the hooves... the lighting... LOVE IT! <3

THANKS VERY MUCH!

Love the mermaid hair!

My comment from the close-up should have gone to this. The colors are very intriguing and the texture of the rocky surfaces are very well formed and defined with exquisite detail.

This is epic Shippy!!! OMG! MORE!
