Mother, holding her baby, thinking about its future.

This is the center image for the Circle of Life drawing that I'm working on, which I colored digitally, just for fun.
(edit: completed project here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1485434/ )

I may or may not create a vague suggestions of wings on the final piece. But they should, I think, be vaguer than here. (Edit: I didn't)

Used the Edit>Transform>Warp tool in photoshop to improve the proportions of the center image of the Circle of Life concept ( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1302143/ ). That was useful for the project, because I intend to use that image with its improved proportions for the final piece. I now see I'm not quite done with that, though.

Then I (digitally) inked and colored this thing for fun. I tried shading with the dodge and burn tools for the first time. (except on the little bundle, that's just shell shading with a soft brush.)

I need way more practice with those tools. But I like how this looks regardless. I'm also pleased with the colored 'ink' lines.
