I applaud and tip my hat to you sir. An absolutly fantastic work, and I don't use work lightly.

Thank you very much. ;_;

I love the colors of the background, and its simplification. Very nice.

Thanks hon! Nothing like some bright green to liven up a forest.

:D This turned out crabulously.

That's good. Brain no work so well after livestream making.

Thank you! And did you... just change your icon? I SENSE IT.

Lol, I need to catch you in LS more often! I love seeing you paint. :D

I just got done with a 5-6 hour one, and my brain feels like purple.

And why yes. yes I did. I actually did about 2 weeks ago, but I DID change it within a reasonable soon-ness time.


...

*blinks slowly*

Wow, yeah! I bet you feel that way. D: Omg, usually I can only go for about 4 hours at a time before my brain melts.

I must be insane or my computer really slow, because I just noticed it. It was your old icon until... 10 minutes ago. o_O /dumb

Why not have the best of both worlds? Lol! No worries, Blame the brain-slowness after getting this great big beautiful behemoth o' a commission done *nods*

It's actually been done since the 8th, LOL. So I can't use that as an excuse. >____> It's just me being... me. /retarded laughter

Mysterious changing icons, haha~ <3

Well...then you've.... hm. *stares off*

Do you like apple cider?

I... I do. ;_; /wants some cider

I has some. The reeaaaaal shit, if you know what i'm talkin 'bout. *nods ghetto-fabulously*


i... I live by an orchard. :] It tastes like beautiful.

Ohhhhh. /sparkly eyes ;__; I know whatcha talking about. Mah homie-G.


(And you know, I've had icons changing on me all night. I just think my cache or something is all messed up. :0...)

Nah nah nah, that's crazy talk.

We're all secretly trying to fuck with your head :D

This made my jaw drop something fierce. Awesome from the composition down to the execution. Consider yourself commission stalked

The composition took many sketches to get down, so I'm glad you think so! Thank you~ c:

Oh man, I dig the style that's in @w@

Haha, thank you!

Very beautiful. Love the lighting :)

Thank you~ :D

This is simply stunning!

Thank you! c:

beautiful picture, really love the colors and lightning

Thanks hon! <333 :D

gorgeous! I envy your lighting skills <3 The green is just lovely.

Thank you! I had a lot of good imput during the livestream sessions I did, so that helped out with lighting. :D

oh wow =o that's absolutely stunning! what a beautiful illustration ^^

Thank you! C:

and how long did this take u o.e

I think 50-60 hours (broken up into many different sessions) if you include my sketching and stuff. |D It.... took awhile. Lol.

fffff jesus D8 -brain twitches- o.e

I've slowly been getting faster, but this one had so many sketches and PS meltdowns, LOL. I must have lost a good 5 hours just due to crashes.

So save often. ;__; I LEARNED MY LESSON.

haha yeah thats helpful ;o

I will always and forever shower you with my love for your backgrounds. <333333333333

Awww... thank you bb. ;__; /showers in love

...funny how I was wondering where you and your magnificent art was!!! this is... mindblowing, it is just so beautifuli cant put it into word

Aww... well, now you know! Lol. School is a terrible thing.

Thank you very much. D8 <3

np, and yea school takes a big chunk out of my brain.. happy to be finishing my double major nightmare soon

Oh wow, double-major? :( I'm so glad my uni doesn't allow me to do two at the same time... it sounds really difficult.

It looks gorgeous. What brushes do you use, btw?

Thank you!

I either use default low opacity flow airbrush (I think that's what it is?), and also ones from Cornershop's LJ and damie_m's journal somewhere. I also get Photoshop Magazine which has some nice brushes, but I use them pretty sparingly. :P

This is amazingly gorgeous. Love the color selections and everything.

Aww, thank you! ;w; I'm glad you think so.

wow! is beautyful, oh!, i have these flowers in my house "bird of paradise"hehe

Thank you!

And do you? xD They're so pretty... we had them in our old neighborhood, but that was in California. Here it's too cold for tropical flowers. :(

oh! i see, well i living in Costa Rica, is a nice place for these flowers, many farmers export to other countries for create floral decorations.
these master piece reminds me the tropical forest in my country in special the forest in the atlantic coast, very wet and exuberant vegetation.

Ohhhhh! It must be beautiful there. :D I've never been to Costa Rica, but I've heard lovely stories. <3

yeah! the forests in Costa Rica are beautyful, my favorites, my favorites are the tropical cloud forests in the mountains, if you have an opportunity to visit Costa Rica visit the Monteverde Rain Forest, is really beautful

Goddamn. That's baller.

Thanks dood. :)

Omg that's beautiful! ;.;
I love the greens and the background, eeeee.

Thank youu! It certainly is green, isn't it? lol

holy crap. o_o I am so jealous of your art skills. Amazing picture.

Aww, thank you! c:

I flailed about in awe and love when I saw this. XD Your digital style is incredible! I could learn so much from you. @..@

<3!

Wow, thank you so much! ;; That's so nice of you to say... (and you have lovely work too! <3 Got a watch from me, bb)

:D <3

It so beautiful! The background, the foreground, the everything!

A lot of artists humanize their reptiles to the point where they're just humans with scales and claws... but you managed to retain the primeval essence that shows their feral side without being violent. I could honestly believe this species exists and isn't just some human/whatever crossbreed. Bravo on your skill!

Thank you so much! ;w; I'm glad you think so... I love reptiles/birds, so drawing Setheus' character was a definite treat. :)

Damn. Look at that palette! :o

And the contrast is masterfully picked. Well done!

Thanks so much. :) The palette is... very green, isn't it? lol

This is very beautiful :)

Thanks! <3

:0 Thank you~

Whoa that bg is gorgeous and i love that detail in the scales there!

Thank you! :D

Wauuugh this is amazing! You have such a great sense of colour; you know exactly which areas need to be punched up with a bright accent colour without overdoing it, and you know exactly how to render shadows without making things muddy... I love the creamy texture in the background too. This is just really impressive all around. :)

Thank you so much! ;; I'm happy you think that... it certainly was a challenge getting everything to balance decently. XD

...You're drawing hydrangeas? What kind of masochist are you?

I so love the feel and flow of this, the way the features are so distinct but still so harmonious. The composition is beautiful, but for one thing...The tail is very distracting where it cuts out of the picture, it sort of breaks the track of the eye? When said eye is not focused on the orgasmic riot of lushicious, verdant colour, oh my god~

D: I know. It's like drawing 100 flowers at once.


Thanks for the feedback. <3 (It worked in my sketch, but of course that never seems to translate over to the finished version, amirite?) Since it's a commission there really isn't much I can do on it, but I'll keep that in mind for next time. c:

Awe...this is perfekt.

c: Thanks

Actually, your french is very good! ^^ And 'Mysterious' is a very good title for this awesomabuloustastic picture! ^^

Haha, thanks! But don't give me too much credit... that's what dictionaries are for. >_>

But dictionaries are not responsible for your awesome art! ^^

Oh my goodness... This is beautiful. I am in love with all the greens here

Thank you! :) I think I've painted enough green here to last me a few images, lol.

Nonsense!! Green is my favorite color! All shades of green! :e

I really love the atmosphere, and the trees are very uniquely done...

Thanks hon~ c:

Oh wow! This is seriously awesome. Amazing job on the background and colors.

Aww... thank you! :D

First, it looks awesome and has a special atmosphere. Second, sofa in the nothing :P

I'm not sure what "sofa in the nothing" means, but... thank you? Lol. :D

Lol ! No your French don't fail at all xD
The feather of this creature are so detailed, that burn eyes !!!
Love the atmosphere too, so supernatural :3
In fact...I love everything X)
Everything is awesome Centra !!!

Aww, thanks! I'm terrible with it, but luckily that's what dictionaries are for. XD

Thank you hon! ;; You always say the nicest things <3333

Because nice things need it <3333

Absolutely amazing! Great work, love the background and the insane detail of the creature!

Thank you very much. :)

You're welcome! :)

angle of couch opposing angle of ground surface = FLOATING COUCH! 8D (trace a line down the head/arm rest then compare it to the line of the ground at the background <3) that isn't what a 2 point perspective means <3 (can be fixed in like 2 minutes by shifting the surface plane at the back there <3)

but all personal silliness aside <3 really wonderful detail. I love how yellow appears more like a cool colour tone to me and the saturation and the way you've thrown the detail down in the background with fractual lighting showing a high humidity <3 well done if that was intended. The air looks very thick indeed.

Thanks very much for your imput. :) I'll edit it if I have the time and drive to do so, but at the least I'll keep this in mind for future projects. My lack of artistic education is probably showing through right now, haha. XD


And thank you~ Hazy was what I was going for, so I'm glad it looks like that. :D

<3 no problem! Though artistic education has little to do with it, your work is pro standard <3 but even the best of artists miss things occasionally when deluged in the depths of imagination and application. :D

Fantastique!

Most awesome work :3

Absoloutley wonderful work ;_________;.

Your French is good :)
But your art is amazing, wow !

HOURRA POUR LE FRANÇAIS!

Utterly amazing!

Your french isn't bad at all :P

simplemente impresionante...

Wonderfully relaxing scene here, a glade I would happily spend some time in.

The greenish haze of the light filtering in from the seemingly-artificial treetops is really what adds the 'mystere' to this picture. Beautiful, very nice. :D

This is really fantastic piece of art ! }:O

You do also great Dragon too !

This is beutiful.^^ I love the faint misty-ish green filteing throughout and all the intricate details.

this is really amazing. the textures to the scales on its body are magnificent!!! all the details are SO good! the trees and the whole setting give this piece a really nice feel. love it!

Fantastic detail. :)

Absolutely awesome.

This is so awesome! You are one of my favorite artists here!
But...can i ask someting? How much it took to you - to finish this? I usually so self-destructive-critic to myself when it means "picture with background". I really want to know how much good quality background and coloring takes.

My god..simply stunning!

The obviously extensive work that went into this resulted in something magnificent. I know that there is a multitude of proper terms to use in describing how this came to completion, but since I couldn't draw to save my life, I'll never know what they are.

This is beautiful sir.

I can never fathom how people make such beautiful works as these...

This is amazing. I addooorrreeee the background.

Nicely detailed.

Excellent work for this one!

And your French is good here! ;)

wow so beautiful, I can almost smell the forest air....just awesome job

You are evil! I realy dislike digital art, but this is very nice!

how long did you spend on this? or pieces like this in general? i'm amazed.

Very detail, I luv chur arts :3 *purrs softly*

woooooow im just going to stand here in awe at this..

The expression, the detail, the whole atmosphere of the picture~ it is very romantic and ever so beautiful~

That...is ethereal. Beautifully ethereal.
