Description
I had started this piece a while ago but didn't get a chance to finish what with the crazyness of christmas. Tonight was kinda feeling lonely what with Christmas coming and I sitting here alone in a quiet dark house...so I decided to finish this painting.This one goes out to everyone on this Christmas day, to all my friends and those that have inspired me with their work or wonderful words of encouragement, to anyone and everyone. It is a reminder to those that feel lonely that you are not alone. There is always someone there to walk beside you, even if just in spirit.
Happy Holidays!
Tools: open canvas for original sketch, PS7 for coloring.
Time: ????? NO idea..not too long..under 10 hours I'm sure.

***Please respect my work and full view, doesn't take but a second. Thank you
Critique discouraged because this is a piece from my heart and as such is close to me, mistakes or no..

The lighting on the fur is just gorgeous. Paintings from the heart are truely the best kind, and I absolutely love seeing my favorite artists draw what means most to them.
Merry Christmas to you Balaa, and here's to many more.

Beautiful message to accompany an extravagant image! I'm sorry you were feeling lonely, *hugsinspirit*, but like you said, even in the coldest and saddest moments, there's always someone there to love you. Visible or not. *^^*
I can't believe all those details, the hues of blue and gold are incredible together. *sigh...stare :3*
Merry Christmas, Balaa!

Incredibly beautiful. I love the way his eye's literally light up his face, the contrast is beautifully done. The swirls and glows really give it a personality. Great piece.

Beautiful beyond words. The little curls coming from the eyes really adds life to the piece and contrasts well with the background of cooler colors.

This looks very much giving a feeling of "A bright hero has come, to free us from the evil.. A thick mane to warm you from the snow. And light, from his eyes, to brigthen up the dark." If you know what I mean. I like it.
