Description My Di Baby! With Ka. And good ol' Terne in the background.

This image has been hovering at near-completion for several months, waiting for my laptop to be fixed and whatnot. A close call with my External Hard Drive (May it rest in pieces, due to Magnet failure...) brought it back to the forefront of my to-do list. I managed to add in the important parts... thinking about adding some wood planks to the fence/something... we'll see, I guess.

I made a few grass brushes and a "chain link" brush, and am pretty pleased with the effect.

May be retouching the shading on Di and Ka in a few days... but there's a thunderstorm going on and I don't want to risk it tonight. So... yep.

Edit: Changed the lighting a little bit and tried to harmonize the colours better... added some drama to it... more pleased than before.

He's wonderful, never seen a fluorescent dragon

Hearty, thank you! ;-; He's the most ridiculous 'dragon' ever, but I'm glad you like him.

I think he probably would like to eat her sometimes... but she's all fabric-y with a metal center, so... probably not. XD

(Er... this is a very late response. But thank you for commenting!)

This is SO COOL. The way you did the grass and the city in the background is gorgeous-- good grass brushes are hard to make! And Ka looks so cute and tiny. <3

Really good work but I hate to ask this what is he? a Draik?

Thanks, and no worries; He's a Draik. I know he looks rather different from the Neopets Draik. XD

Those new brushes look great! The spacing between the blades of the grass seems just right.

And the shading on Di's neck and ears really stands out for me. It looks great!
