Description Whoofffff! I thought I'd never get this particular commission done within the year! What with the redo of the lines, and then tackling the tribal patternings on the feathers alone on that one hatchling!

This has got to be my largest undertaking of putting multiple characters in one piece with them all interacting with one another in some way or form @_@

I had to figure how to portray Jade's ability to switch between her red and green coloration, so I figured pop some color change on her feet so it's not terribly awkward to see >_>

Thank you very much for being patient with me Kiyubi! I hope I have satisfied what you asked for in the family shot of all the kids!

Just absolutely awesome. They are just I think them in my head, well almost x3 I totally love this one

xD The tribal patter's where are pian I know, specially on the wing's. Mushroom-Dragon who make the drawing to me and Legn was always (in livestream) crumpling and maoning how pain in the ass they are. And you have done extremely awesome with all of them, specially when this first time that you do something this big. Also Jade's ability came along nice I never did really expect you to color change on her but I like it and it was nice surprice.

For being patient; I wanted to note and ask you about this commission so many times but then decided to not. For some reason I wanted to give you time with it maybe because I somewhat knew it's going to be big drawing. I don't want to press people by asking every week that how long it takes, it just makes the drawer angry for the person being unpatient.

And Hyratel's quotations are really dot on i.

Almost? X3

She was an interesting one and I didn't want to entirely throw the piece off-balance with the greens in the middle, white on the end, and then reds on the other side >_>

^_^; It's more when people start threatening refunds after agreeing to my contract to understand that it would potentially take a while in taking up a commission with me depending on my list and rl situations that push me over the edge XP

He does have that knack doesn't he? X3

Well they are always somewhat different in people's mind's before someone actualy makes a drawing of them and show's how they look.

I must agree with the color balance It came out really nicely thought and I am still suprised that you did it.

True and after reading your juornal's I decided that I must give as much time you need. Having hard time in life as reflecting other thing's also, I know that well. That's why I do not push people and start acting like an idiot.

And yes he does x3

XD True, it was an interesting challenge nonetheless!

If they were complex-marked characters like Ray, there might have been a bit more of a delay and notable difference in cleanliness probably between the characters as motivation tends to peter out on a large piece >_>;

I have been making efforts to try and notify commissioners at least that they're not forgotten if it feels too long has passed between communications >_>

kyubifan In reply to Callairah [2011-11-09 15:32:45 +0000 UTC]

Well I'm glad that this now done and you have no tribal marking's to do for while or long while xD

Once again, no worries. Even thought I am young to many people it is surprising how patient I am, it's like second nature to me.

Wow....This looks even better with all the colors, which for some reason I was expecting blues and greens....not sure why.

Those markings on the one....as much as I hate doing feathers in teh first place, i think doing all those markings on top of it would've caused to me kill myself.

Also, Hyratel's quotes and statement is very appropriate for this.

For your first time doing this many characters together, you did well with the interactions. Most pictures I see with this many characters, they just seem to be there (if that makes sense).
I do hope that we can expect more of this sort of thing from you?
