OM NOM NOM CAKE! XD OM NOM RAINBOWS! Lol!
This is something I drew for
nekophoenix 's birthday contest. However, I found the contest when there wasn't much time left and I hadn't drawn a full page illustration in I can't remember how long, so this is way past the deadline, but I still wanted to finish it, lol. Part of the contest was to incorporate some of Nekophoenix's favorite things. On that list there was tea, cake, cats, fairy lights, and pretty much everything I love myself, so I was originally going to draw a flame point siamese cat fairy of teatime. The contest was either to invent a character based on one or more things from the list, or to have one of their characters interacting with one of yours. So I was going to invent a fairy cat, but then this image suddenly came to mind for "cake" and "pride." So I drew Nekophoenix's character, Mouse, with my male deer fursona, who I finally settled on a name for, Ambrose, all decked out in rainbows and maniacally enjoying a rainbow cake, perhaps a little too much, lol! XD CAAAKE! I swear they are not secretly zombies eating brains, lol! I also started this a couple days before that supreme court decision happened when I had no idea that was even going on, so I was hoping to post this during pride weekend, but alas, I bit off more than I could chew for such a quick deadline. But it's done now. Yay rainbows!
I'm still practicing how I color Ambrose. He's supposed to have a gradation from pale yellow-green to turquoise. I'm also surprised how long it took me to realized I'd made a teal deer character. X3 Hee hee! I'll have to either make or commission a proper character sheet of him when I can.
Anyway,
nekophoenix sorry this didn't make it in time for the contest, but I hope you enjoy it! I wanted to send you some sugary rainbows of happiness. :3

Oh wow, this is gorgeous - I am absolutely thrilled you finished it!
The colouring on this is so smooth and soft, I just want to reach out and pet them both!
What a wonderful way to incorporate the favourite things too! Ambrose is absolutely beautiful - that pale pink hair looks almost like a waterfall against the green tones of his face and body - he looks like a proper magical forest spirit :3 The wee bows are an adorable touch!
Hahahaha the maniacal expression of both of them is perfect, especially in regards to my own love of cake!
Gosh, I love Mouse's eyes, they look like jewels, and her little teeth look so pointy yet friendly all at once somehow?! and her hair looks so ruffle-able, you can almost feel the weight in it :3
This is such a fantastic piece, thank you again for finishing it, I am absolutely delighted with it, thank you thank you thank you!!!

How did I not reply to this yet?
I'm so glad you like it! And thank you for the thougtful response! It's been a while since I've gotten detailed feedback. :3 I'm also glad you like Abrose, I was actually thinking that at some point, when you're up for it and I have some extra monies, I'd like to commission a simple ref sheet of him from you. ^-^ I love the look of clean digital art for ref sheets, and yours are so beautiful!
I loved drawing Mouse, she's such a cutie and I thought she deserved some attention... and cake. Lol! X3 I'm happy the expressions work for you and it doesn't seem like I went overboard with it. That's the enthusiasm all cake deserves anyway, lol. The texture of the cake gave me some trouble, but it looks like they're enjoying it anyway. X3
Thank you for such a fun contest! It's been harder over the past couple years for me to feel inspired to draw, so this was great!
Happy much belated birthday! >w<;
