Description
Old contest prize for =DanSyron Hope you like it~Well, since the prize was for the number contest back in uhm... March... I wanted to make up for it and try out something new, like... more perspective practice
Redrew the sketch three times, didn't give the puddle so much attention, same with the grass and sand.
My main focus was perspective and shading Syron xD...
And since he's symmetrical (mostly), I didn't want to swap everything horizontical :'D... It looked weird anyways
Listened to very unfitting music while making it :'D

I'd thought that it was Silver at first because of the glove, until I'd saw the faint reflection and read about his Ref Sheet.
Darn it, he'd already critiqued most of the stuff that I had wanted to critique on. 
The first thing that I would have to mention would be the 'missing' shadow on the puddle (I'd spent my childhood staring into puddles in hopes of entering another dimension XD). If the light source is at the top of this picture, then we should be able to see the bottom of this puddle and a darker reflection of Syron on the surface for the puddle.
Plus, the sand looks as if it belongs to the beach, not inland.

Ah thank chu for the critique :'D
Yea, I kinda just wanted to have it done when I was finished with the shading on Syron xD Lost interest in the surrounding and that's why it doesn't look as much 'realistic' as it should c:
Yea, it kinda turned out as a beach, which was kinda intented to, just not as much worked on detail by detail as for Syron x'D
Yes <333 It's lovely to look down at puddles :'D I always gets fascinated by the water and all the reflection <3

You're welcome.
Oh well, he could be in another one of his dream (which could explain why he has that expression in the reflection of the puddle 
Yeah, I agree with ya. ^^ Simply by creating ripples on the surface, I get to see images created by the shine of my torchlight. (Is this why you're so good at drawing water surfaces and oceans without having a line to be seen among the waves? ;D)

Some beaches can have grass xD Just not that much that I just made, but still, I'm quite used to having grass at a beach <3
(Good question.... I have no idea how I manage to to the water surface :'D I just improvise a lot <3 )

I've only seen the usual sea shells and pebbles at the beach.

Yah it's quite usual to find grass quite close to the shoreline :'D It kinda depends on the enviroment though xD
(Well, I do have done some practice with it xD I got some scrapped stuff in the scarps for example <3)

Out of all the perspectives you could have chosen, this is probably one of the most difficult scenarios to execute. A first-person reflection into water below is incredibly hard and I've actually considered trying this exact instance on many occasions and weener'd out because of the difficulty. That being said, you executed incredibly well. All this for guessing a number correctly? Da hell, woman 
As a bit of a constructive criticism (since you did want one as denoted by the critique box below), try sharpening the waterline edge as it runs up onto the sand. even in real life, there's a little line of separation caused by water tension. Also, try to use less blue and instead actually try to reflect the sky and more of Syron's actual colors, and then distort it using smudges here and there. It makes it look more "watery". There are alot of tutorials out there for it xD (and while I read in the description that you didn't put much time into it, it'd still be cool to see you try water effects like I mentioned on future pieces.)
This looks wonderful, Drytil. You didn't hafta do this much work for a silly number guessing game. Makes me feel like I dont really deserve it. Regardless, it's going to have a nice home in my fanart faves.

My pleasure to rip something up from the number contest since it took months until I actually asked what you wanted for a prize :'D
1000 thanks for the critique 8D I'll make sure to note that down next time I'll work with water
Overall, I'm glad you liked it <3
