This one was a ton of fun - the theme I was given was Old West meets Far East, with a mischievous coyote placed in a tavern setting... It was great playing with the ambience of the room. I tried to control the palette to really convey the overall temperature and imagined humidity of the environment - and the dust drifting through the door in the background turned out to be a crucial detail, to me. I also like the katana swords with the handles stylized as old-fashioned pistol grips. A commission I did for QuickXyk, who along with his coyote character, can be found here: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/QuickXyk/

Ooh... I don't remember exactly, this was like months and months ago. I'd estimate it took me 16-ish hours to draw it, it took Liz at least that long to block in the colors and detailing, and then another 8-10 hours of shading and lighting. So guesstimate like a week or so.
Really great work! I love the amount of detail in this piece, and how well the lively, cheerfully cheeky atmosphere is portrayed without too much deliberate detail. Plus, the expression on his face is just priceless, kind of like me when I feel like pinching a few things
Awesome!!! *reaches for fave button and topples out of chair*

some reason I feel like there was a great attempt at misdirection put into this O-o it may just be because it took me a moment to see that he was trying to steal his wallet but I was very curious as to whether or not it was intentional
I was curious if you used design techniques to misdirect the viewer's eyes from the actual event O_o
wether you did or did not this is a magnificent piece that just raises my curiosity and makes me want to know more XP

Interesting observation. Although the center of the composition, the actual wallet-grab does seem to almost fade into the background. It was a bit unintentional, but I like the effect, because it tends to emphasize the scene as a whole rather than only the main action. The focus is diminished there by the lack of value contrast - whereas other areas of the pic have more dark vrs. light contrast making them 'pop' more.
This made a gorgeous feature <3 If I had wrote the description, I would have said- I really love how there is so much going on and I can get so lost in this piece with every little element. Truly tells a story within a story- and the dynamics in relationship to the subjects is really fine tuned and interesting <3 Lovely work here!
