Good work.

I'm enjoying the book titles. 83

In before fuzz! That's what he gets for sleeping all day!

This is really lovely work. I know he's been super excited waiting for this piece, and he's going to be just overjoyed when he gets up and sees it. ^^

Awww, thats so sweet. I love tongue preening <3

though awesome book. shoulda included the fucking manual xD though that book end piece...i swear i've seen one exactly like that before somewhere for real. i just can't place my finger on it...

Dawhhh XD!!!

HAHA well, that'd be awesome if it did exist! I literally branfarted while making the titles if it's not apparant XD

Also in before Fuzz! He's still sleeping, but I know he'll be totally happy to wake up to this! It looks super pretty, and the muzzle-licking there is absolutely adorable.

Even if I dedicated the rest of my life to trying, I could never become even a fourth the expert on muzzle-licking as you are, but this scene is incredibly pretty and adorable, yes.

d'awww, so cute =3

hehe that's cute! you use markers? wow! that's great! i love the way you did his pants.

I do! I've been using them for quite a few years now.
Awh thanks! LOTS of layers there actually, from darker to lighter to make them look just right. XD

so much detail! i always get so lost with markers @_@
wonderful anyway ^^

Oh wow this is adorable and amazing at the same time ^^

Even I'm in before Fuzz, and that's just wrong because he linked me to it. And I don't even call him Fuzz.

What I think really makes the picture is not just the scene as a whole, necessarily, but the amount of tiny little details that you've put in. The heart clip on the power cable on the left, tiny bits of sellotape on the photos, stars stuck on the lampshade, what I think is a label on the pillow, and the stitch pattern on her jeans... it shows that you've given this real attention to detail. I love the husky-teddy as well, and just the setting that the entire picture shows - the kind of intimate, girl's-bedroom look, that's really brought to life by the special details that you've included.

I was wondering what Sellotape was, so I had to go look it up, and it turns out it's what Europeans get instead of Scotch tape, which is what I thought this was. As if your words weren't enough; now you're springing British products on me! Though I'll give you credit for having the variant whose brand name didn't originally come from an ethnic slur.

Come to think of it, I'm not meant to be using British terms this week, am I? But calling it Scotch tape would just be too strange for someone from there given its origin... I was actually unaware that 'Sellotape' was a brand name, as it's one of those words that's just evolved into what we call the actual product no matter who makes it. Like... Elastoplast. I could just be making all these up, you know.

I have Wikipedia to do my fact checking, and sometimes I don't just take your word for it or assume it must just be a British thing and move on when you're clearly making things up! Fortunately for you, Wikipedia has a list of genericized trademarks (which I find quite fascinating for some reason) that backs you up on those two, at least, so I'll let it slide this time.

and and are now on my "I'll get you for this" list.

Good heavens, this is amazing! I know it's been a while, but it was incredibly well worth the wait for something this good. Hell, you probably could have gotten away with taking even twice as long if I end up getting something like this in the end. It's...phenomenal, it really is. Thank you so much!

Like  davidn said, the little details are astounding, and really brings the scene to life. After showing this around, I know one person who wants to order a copy of DRAGONZ! I'll take Awesome Book, myself. The Ecliptica poster is absolutely perfect, especially considering I didn't even specify that--you must have just somehow decided on your own that poster should be the Ecliptica cover, then looked it up, and reproduced it perfectly. And now that I get to see it myself, I am floored by the loving attention to detail. I think my favorite part of the background is the little photo taped to the headboard of Teo making a goofy face and Sara being all ^_^ about it. It just looks like such a fun, happy scene!

Of course, all of this is leaving out the obvious attraction of the main characters themselves, which is nothing short of phenomenal. I've said this before while we were exchanging notes over the WIP versions, but it's worth repeating in public now that the picture is out: those have to be the best rendition of Sara's hands I've ever seen. They're huge, but they're supposed to be, and they are absolutely perfect for how I envision the character. And I don't know what kind of sorcery you pulled with your super marker techniques, but I imagine them being kind of hard and rough and dry to the touch, too, and you pulled that off with stunning detail to the point where I can just look at this picture and get that impression, too--and this is the zoomed-out low-res version! (For everyone else who isn't either Gravewalker or myself: she sent me a cropped super high-res version of just from their heads down to about Teo's elbow and Sara's left hand, and OH MY GOD. I can't wait to get the original if it looks like that. But anyway....) The expressions are absolutely adorable, her hair is perfect, and...just...everything. Seriously. You rock so very very hard.

Damn it, I just had that much to gush about and it was hard to keep track of it all and easy for something to get lost in the sea of everything else, I knew I was forgetting something.

"The characters were a real pleasure to draw, I kinda wish I had read his stories before I finished it, but they were really great for knowing these two more! Go see!"

Goodness. Praise and a plug for my stories on top of everything else? You really are too kind! I'm certainly glad that you seem to have enjoyed them. Thank you so much! :D

*flails arms at Sonata Arctica poster*
Epic win. ^___________^

I really LOVE this picture <3 It's so perfect! It looks like something out of everyday life, which is something I feel like we don't have enough of in the art community in general... But ESPECIALLY not in anthro art. <3

Haha I do like them! And he mentioned in passing that was a band she'd like (Sara)

Awhh and thank you!! That means a lot to me! :D

Dawwww!

Still one of my very favorites, the solar system does make me giggle though, but I'll say why when you get back home.

Awesome pic. The only thing I would have to say negative about it, would be, that he looks like he has his nose in her eye.

But otherwise, awesome detail, colour, and I love the style.

I hope you don't mind the critique.

Haha yeah it does when zoomed out like this! That's alright though XD

Thanks so much! Nah I don't mind really, I can aways strive to do better!

D'Awwww! Such a cute picture Gravy!

Love the book titles, LOL

This is a really nice piece. Very sweet. :)

Awh thank you! I think my favorite things I do are anything sweet, couple-y or cute XD

The affectionate interaction between them was excellently portrayed through their body language and I felt you did a great job on the linework for their forms as well. The stitching, creases and coloring of their jeans was another aspect that came out magnificently as well as the pillows with the folds and the detail of the design for the pink one there. There was also a nice addition of items to liven up the room and form a great backdrop for the characters within it. Awesome work on this Sunny.

Also, the “radio” seems suspiciously like a cameo of some sort if I didn’t know better. :P

Blue Book XD

For those who see this who don't know what a great band Sonata Artica is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonata_artica
