FINALLY!! I'm done! *phew* I felt like this took me forever to do. About 22 hours in all I believe over a month's time.My entry for the Umbreon Fan Club . My entry is to show the Fire Fox vs. the Shadow Fox. Umbreon's marking glow fiercly as it prepares to dodge Ninetales' flamethrower and then counterattack. In a dramatic display, a great wave crashes into the sea edged, forshadowing the fate of the attacking Ninetales.
Darkness reigns supreme.

i seriously just love the way you've done it. as the people above mentions, the way you had to darkness to fill most of the picture, really gives a sense of focus on the two characters. i especially love the way you've done the clouds, but most of all umbreon and ninetales are marveless. good work

The end result looks beautifull
I've looked at all the in progress you uploaded of this, and it ended up just splendid =^_^=
I think my favorite part is Ninetails. It's hard to shade yellow without it looking dirthy, but you'rs look so bright! And the pose and details are so awesome
I voted for you in the contest too

Hm, what's odd is that it seems like there's a lot of contrast , just the way the colors clash. The ninetails looks almost a bit flattened, the way it's back leg is, and the umbreon's back legs are also odd. The fire is very odd, and makes the lighting seem almost silently dramatic, frozen in time sort of thing, which I think you were going for. The clouds and the sky (both gorgeous, as always!) help drawn you back and make you focus on the moment as whole. Didn't expect you to enter. ^^ I like your entry because it actually has brings together the concept with the mood, where as I just tried to bring a little realism in.

Well, you did do a better picture on realism then I did. I didn't care about mine. I just wanted to get the point across and be done with it. It took me too long.
Oh wells... I was never very good with color nor anatomy.

I know what you mean, especially after working on something periodically for about a month. It's tough to keep up with having passion for it. I've lost countless peices to that. -shrug-
Hmm..well, most of your art isn't color. You make up for in style and emotion what you often lack in color, trust me. And it's just my opinion, don't worry so much, man.

OMG Awsome eclipsis i didn't know you were entering O_O you got so good so good with photoshop O_O i am really impress!!!

This looks really gorgeous. The background, with the clouds and all, looks really great, and I like the level of detail on their fur here and those flames. The only things that look a bit off are Umbreon's head and I can't tell where the sky ends and the ground begins. Overall, this looks great, though.

There should be a very faint, white line that goes across the horizon, particularly on the left side.
Umbreon's head was based off a drawing I did when I first started drawing. Simply because I have no reference pictures of the position *probably cause I have seen no one bold enough to try it and get it right*. Oh wells....

If that is there, then it might be a problem with my computer. Sometimes, it's like that.
I see what you mean. It is hard to find backshot references. It is good that you tried to pull it off. Like they say, you never know unless you try.

Wow, the lighting and colours are pretty/amazing :3

I really like the atmosphere! And the fire! The firrreee! It's so awesome.
I have just a couple of small critiques. I hope you don't mind.
One is the Umbreon's face. It looks a tad off. I think if you added more of a cheekbone/curve to it it would look better. Another is the wave crashing in the background. I think some lighter blue/white along the edge of it would help. And a few small drops of it coming off of the wave.
Nothing too much. On the whole I love the picture. Good luck in the contest!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I did have drops on the wave but I got rid of them for some reason. Sorry about that.
The umbreon was done from an old picture I did, before I learned what anatomy is.
Thanks so much Dai!

Oooh. Nice. That darkness just makes the fire that much more dramatic. Love the glowiness of those markings, too. What impresses me the most, though, are those clouds. Now that's atmosphere!
