My god. I'm not sure where to begin. I love the level of detail put into this. You paid attention to ever fold of cloth, shaded perfectly as far as I can see, and that expression, jeebus it's this perfect, motherly smile, like she's saying, "Hello sweety, who's my precious darling?" okay fangasm over, can't wait to see more.
I can see several flaws: The detail starts petering off in a radiating pattern away from the faces and hands. You can tell I started getting bored and impatient as I worked away from the focus. I also think the lace needs to be refined and I don't like the plasticity of the cloth in some areas. I also did not fully apply color theory here in some areas.
I'm going to work on fixing these things after I finish a few urgent projects I'm working now. I'll also try adding a space around the ears. ;)

On the subject of critique.
To me the top of the mother's bonnet seems unusually low contrast between the outer where the sun is hitting and the inner where the sun is merely glowing through. To my really old eyes it makes the peak of the bonnet seem blurred.

Wait. Maybe if I put my glasses on. 0.0

The baby's ears also look a bit "stuck on". The cub's right ear is okay, the ruffle on the bonnet conceals the ear base a bit, but the left ear does look a little out of place.
Bonnets weren't meant for species with upstanding pinnae.
"I did NOT shit a brick."
"Dude, you just shat an entire pueblo city."
Every single one of us has a devil inside... --INXS

I think the ears look fine - fur bunches when it's squeezed through fabric. I imagine it would be a little uncomfortable, but so are bustles, so :D
The string-nom is a nice touch. When I babysit they always go for danglies, always xD
Oh, and blahblah ARTGUDILIEKS blahblah.

I remember this as your featured art a looong time ago. Loved it then, glad you reuploaded it for the masses.
Also: Check me if I'm wrong but Satan seems blissfully unaware that some of your art does indeed contain 'boobage' and fully visible sometimes. Personally I think Old Scratch may need some bifocals.
lol

I really loved this piece when I first saw it.
The only critique I have is that the underside of the bonnet should probably be a little less bright since the sun should be glowing through it, rather than it being as lit up as the top.
And one question: The front of the womans dress. It's a lot like the sleeves, so why is the back smooth and flat seeming? I of course didn't know if you had a particular dress style in mind or not, which is why I ask~

Welcome back! ^v^
Great 'first' choice, that's one of my favs... it fills me with wonder! I mean, I kinda know how sketches are roughed first, then filled in, but... Not being an artist, I have to suspect that you employed magick somewhere along the line.
I apologize for not being able to offer you useful criticism on this one.

There were three groups: One group was legitimately trying to critique my stuff in (what I believe to be) an unnecessarily harsh and occasionally downright nasty tone. I invite critiques but would prefer if people could try to be tactful about it. I don't think that's asking too much, is it? "Flat, lifeless, bland, uninspired, Disney cut-n-paste, valueless tripe, etc" = unnecessarily harsh imo. :\ Unno, maybe I'm just too sensitive but that hurts my feelings.
Then the second group were just a bunch of trolls who would say things like: "You are a crap artist, you should just stop drawing, this is undeserving of the praise it gets, you're delusional, you suck at ________(fill in the blank), your watchers are blind, stupid sheep, zombies, and soft in the head etc." That's just straight up trollin' right there.
The last group was whining about my journals.
All that came down on me all at once and I spazzed out, deleting my whole gallery. I regret that now. All I can do is move forward and hope I can muster the fortitude to not feed the trolls and not take it to heart when people harsh on my artwork.

One fun thing to do is call upon the admins. The second group were flaming and a word or two from an admin would have shut them up very quickly. The first group....yes a little harsh. If someone is going to critique something, being a little more tactically minded is better. Namely, saying WHY it might be bland or such..not just out right saying it is and not saying why it is.
BTW: I learned of admin fury first hand. So trust me, its something to pull out and sit in front of the 'trolls' as you call them.

I kid of course - it's a nice piece and I enjoy spending a little time to appreciate it again. Think I'd only seen it in part while lurking on rd.net, as your avatar, so good to see whole: hadn't realised the kid was playing with the bonnet strap :) And it's not like I actually spend much time weeding my favs list or anything.
Moment of relative sanity around this place, I reckon.

Uh, i just want to say it's ridiculous that you get those hateful comments. I'm sure you realize this too but they most likely don't think your art sucks. If they do, they're just stupid, because it doesn't. And I mean purely objectively, you obviously have a lot of skill. Saying you're a bad artist is like saying the sky isn't blue. It might not appeal to them, that's possible, but then they just fail at using their brains without letting their subjective opinion take over.
You're one of my favorite artists, one of those few ones that make me go "yay!" in my head when a new picture from you pops up in my inbox :D
I just wanted to tell you anyway because I know that no matter how confident you are in yourself, those kind of comments still get into your head, even if they shouldn't! Even if your rational side knows it isn't true.

This is a very kind thing to say. ^__^
And you're right about those rude comments getting into my head. I always feel insecure about my art. I always feel as if nothing I do will ever be good enough. I know it's just in my head, but when I hear someone confirming my insecurities by telling me "my art sucks," sometimes I react badly.... for which I am duly embarrassed.
Thanks again. :)

I just want to add a +1 to what superboll said, I love your art, I have the adult art blocked on here because the Porn isn't my cup of tea and you are one of the few artists i see who consistently puts out beautiful detailed clean pieces. I have a very short "If we ever get out of debt and pay the house off i would really really like to have a piece by them" commission list, and you're at the top lol.
this is very lovely and its quite obvious those trolls dont know what they are talking about
critique is not about making someone feel bad its about another person stating what they see good or bad since being an artist myself i know how the longer you stare at the piece the harder it is to see stuff ><
hope the crap they said didnt hurt you too bad since from what i see it wasnt warranted or founded

My wolfy
voodoowolf told me about what happened. I'm sorry to hear that. Upsets me that people will go out of their way like that just to harass someone.
you have our support, for whatever it's worth. If you need a shoulder, you can come to us. love your art, keep it up.

You're artwork is some of the best in the world I'd say. x3 I must ask though, how long did this piece take? And how long do pieces of art similar in detail to it take to do on average? I take quite a while on artwork, but it isn't nearly as detailed and satisfying as I'd want it to be most of the time.
This is beautiful! The clothing is amazing. I'm not previously familiar with your work, so I'm sorry if you've answered this question before, but was this an independent piece or was it for a project of some kind? It looks like an illustration for a book or something. I really like it! And if my opinion counts for anything, I don't think the ears look weird at all...
I don't know about sweet lol. She would be the first to tell you I am a bitch, but then so is she, cuz she learned it from me. For Christmas I got my grandson this onesie: http://tinyurl.com/437fcol it was her favorite of all the gifts lol.
Both my kids and my son in law are adults and are furry. My grandson's rl first and middle name is Drake Onyx, they hope he will be furry too lol.
I had a couple pics commissioned of her pug fursona preggy. Now I want one like this of her orca fursona and his little dragon fursona. Will be an interesting mix I think.

*clap*...*clap*..*clap* More please :D I love pictures like this, innocent, cute, and yet totally not human XD i never thought of this type of scene though with wolves, very creative.
(Randumb Suggestion: Ya know, if you did more pics like this you'd probably get a alot more commissions to. Perhaps you should get a DA account with no mature stuff and see what happens =)

You cannot BELIEVE how hard this picture is to find! You need to put in victorian, baby, bonnet on those terms.
I really love this and just what I needed for a reference for the bonnet and the ears poking out.
but Again I am saving this to my PC as an image ref and not reposting this anywhere and back saving this.

I've always preferred pursuing aims in transparent ways.
My motivation originates from helping future others live what aesthetics my natal environment wouldn't let me. Blame for my inability to have live those aesthetics comes not from the environment but what predecessors felt how I felt but offered no sympathy to future incarnations.
Like the Nerevarine, I wish to lay down a record that I tried for future incarnations to find then learn from, so even if I fail eventually we can break the cycle whereby hopefully no more dreams need die.
So, I, in a most public way, invite you as well as any one who would care to join my favourite society, the self-shapers society: https://discord.gg/zBgHQws
A society involving ethics, especially ethics one might choose to shape one's self to express.

Yeah might as well visit this one too.
This is genuinely nostalgic and I am still amazed it was your work because it lands the EXACT look I saw in pictures like this years ago. Though years later, I can see the tiny, tiny, distinctions in the brush work that I can recognize as yours.
And yes I still have this saved on my computer even after I switched to a new one.
Again, this image really does bring me to a simpler time... or at least a time in my childhood where this is a look I recognize. I'm not even sure I have the bears playing checkers figurines that share the look I'm taking about.
