Here Agua is enjoying the late afternoon sun searching for that one perfect apple. The breeze is gentle and the grass feels nice underfoot. A perfect spot for a snack and a nap.

What a lovely picture! I love the atmosphere here. Agua looks so sharp, and I like the shininess of her chest plates reflecting the sun, as well the light showing on her wings. You've done well drawing her at what imagine it a tricky angle and pose, and she looks faithful to her reference sheet.
The cragginess of the tree trunk is really cool. Every leaf and blade of grass looks like it was drawn individually - geez, that must've been a fair exercise in patience! XD The hazy soft hues of the sky are kinda lulling to look at, in a way - and it complements (goes well with) the colours of Agua and the landscape.
Finally, I like the details on things that people might be less likely to notice, but which nevertheless adds value to the broader picture, like the earthflows (erosion) on the hill in the background, the shading around the bases of the larger grass clumps and on the right-hand side of some of the tree leaves. It really enriches the whole scene. Thanks so much for your efforts, I'm really happy with it. :)

I'm so glad you and Agua like it! Every time I work on a picture I tell myself I must make improvements. Figures tend to be easy, but placing them in a scene is much more difficult! I used a lot of tree references, late afternoon lighting on tree trunks, and played around with my layers to get that grass to feel natural. Now I must go off and blush heavily at being complemented!
Oh my gosh - first let me say this was completely unexpected - and the best surprise!
I absolutely adore the pose you drew her in - totally something she would be doing and the place she is at is so serene and nice. I love her expression as she is reaching for a snack - nom!
Beautiful job on her markings and the lighting I LOVE your painterly style
Thank you so much for painting her <33333
