The Piper in the Winds

The piper's tune echoes over the lands and sea.
This picture was really began as an OC session me and AlphaCat (known as OfficerAlia in deviantART) had. I've pictured a furry cat boy playing a flute, standing at very high altitudes amongst the mountains, so I started drawing it out. (Originally, it was gonna be a human boy, but AlphaCat and I agreed that it'll probably be better if I draw him as a furry instead.) But, halfway done sketching out the picture, our OC session got interrupted, so we had to stop. So I decided to redraw the character again in Flash, and this is the result.
I have never really been a good background artist. For the background, I took heavy references from other artists on how the mountains should be properly drawn, and the drawing tricks for the sea, for example. The hardest and trickiest part is drawing all the clouds up above. I do admit that they look better when they look blurry. However, since I'm dealing with vectors, it's out of the question... Instead, I sorta just draw out the clouds and, hopefully, it still comes out nice.

A wonderful landscape and the piper is pose pretty nicely too. This picture also has a nice, peaceful atmosphere to it as well.

Thanks. =) I considered this as one of the best pictures I've drawn thus far. The background is a true feat for me, because I usually suck at drawing backgrounds. x_x

You're welcome and I'm sure you can improve on your backgrounds with enough practice.
