But wouldn't Ursa Major appear much larger in the sky, compared to the Moon?

Procyon ~procyon

Hehe, I was going to say the same thing! Given the constellation's position, this would also place the moon almost at the north celestial pole, which is impossible. But I'll chalk this up to artistic liberty... this time ;)

Leave it to Blotch to paint the first bear I've seen on FA that isn't fat, smoking, or disgusting.

Absolutely beautiful background work. I love the detail you put into the mountains despite the focus of the bear. (Who came out wonderful. :D) How did you approach the background? Acrylic? I can't image you doing that in watercolor. It looks digital. Please do tell. I want to know so bad. XDD
