Description “Are you sure he said he’d be here today? It’s been 12 days already and there’s still no sign of him!” Switchback muttered,
“Yes Switch. Denali is always true to his word and where he says he’ll be, he’ll be. Don’t tell me you’re worried about him now hmm?” Schnee glanced back at the blue tiger who had slowed down a little,
“Wha- NO! Of course not! That old man slows us down half the time anyway! And his stories....yawn!” The tiger retorted quickly then looked away awkwardly.
Schnee just shook her head, rolling her eyes. “Come on Switch, now who’s being slow?”
Schnee broke into a steady jog as the tiger bounded to catch up.
The two continued on across the seemingly endless plain of thick grassland as the sun slowly crept down the sky.
Schnee’s ears perked up as she sensed something in one of the nearby valleys, she sniffed the air then stopped, a grin on her face.
“Hey Switch, go check over there would ya?” The tiger stared at her quizzically then huffed and wandered off towards the small ravine, peering over the edge and spotting Denali slowly gliding across the lake towards her,
“There. Just like he said.” Schnee said proudly as she walked up next to Switchback.
“Pssh, yeah well it’s about time!” Switchback snorted,
Schnee walked over and greeted Denali briefly then scrambled back up the slope and walked a little way away, scenting the air.
“Evening my friend” Denali gently said to Switchback, who simply stuck her tongue out at him.
“We are still on track Denali, I trust you managed to do what you needed to do?” The Arcanine called back,
Denali replied in a low rumble, “Yes Schnee, it is done.”
“Right then lets go!” Schnee barked then turned and started walking on,
Switchback fidgeted on the spot for a minute, looking awkward.
She waited for Schnee to move away a little before scurrying down the slope and gently rubbing her cheek on Denali’s muzzle.
She smiled for a second then pranced back up the slope, “Come on old man! You’ve slowed us down enough already! GEEZ!”
Denali smiled and shook his head before carefully climbing out of the water and up the bank to follow the two girls on across the grassland.

Commission for my dearest

I hope my little blurb isn't too OOC for any of them!
And...I wasn't sure if Schnee and Switch both travelled with Denali together or not but I shoved them all together anyway!

Switchback is such a mush really, she's just too cool to show it most of the time >__>

(Schnee was supposed to be here too but every time I drew her she looked out of place in the composition)

FINALLY I need to quit my job so I can just play on DA forever BUT ANYWAY YES I LOVE THIIIISSSSSSS ehehe! . Omg the colors and the poses and the emotions and omg EVERYTHING. It's so amazing!

FIRST OF ALL there was a secret BLURB. I LOVE IT WHEN YOU DO THAT. Omg this and that Ckazz/Firenze picture and that Buckhot picture and omg I love it when you make little blurbs. Like LOVE it so much. It makes all my little wheels turn SO VERY HARD and omg it's seriously the best. I need to do this for you more too. If you enjoy it even HALF as much as I do I should really return the favor hnn. BUT ANYWAY THEY'RE ALL DELICIOUSLY IC TOO. Switchie and Schnee are both sassy and Denali is sweet and gently and adfjvfsg. I love how you always tug on Switchie's mooshy side she tries so hard to hide from people. She doesn't really appreciate it but I really really do >__>;;

BUT ANYWAY THE ACTUAL PICTURE YES. Omg you just keep getting better and better with colors gah. I'm genuinely and simultaneously envious and inspired I WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS WEH. I just want to sit my happy ass down and watch you draw things and learn. LEEEEARN YOUR SEKRITS. I love the mooshy blue and orange sunset sky and the subtle sun rays and the mist over the water and how it dances over Denali's lovely wings omg. It's so atmosphere-y and perfect aah. AND I LOVE THAT BANK SO MUCH. OMG. i have NO idea how long it took you with all those details in it like those little grassy blades and all the lumps in the rocks and the gentle swooshes of color on the grassy bits at the top aaaah. And I love how the bank in Denali's shadow is purple whereas the bit exposed to the light is orange. Aaaah it's so simple and makes so much sense and I never would have THOUGHT of it omg I just LOVE it and I want to run my head into a wall because the background is BRILLIANT and aaaaah I love it I love it.

AND THE CHARACTERS I WANT TO DIE. Denali is *GORGEOUS*. I love how sharp and angular his face is, but it's still round and pretty the way I like it aaah. I also really love the dramatic turns in his horns. They look REALLY cool like that. Plus the orange light dances off of them and weeeh it's perfect. The orange also dances on his wing membranes like a champ I LOVE THOSE WINGS GOD.I love how articulately you did his little wing phlanges and you added the little hand scalies and I love how naturally they sit on the water and ugh they play with orange and purple and mist and they're perfect. I love how did his scales too. They're all done with love and perfection and aaaah perfection. I love how draconic his tail is too. It winds all fantastically and perfectly and there's orange in his blue dorsal fluffy and omg I want to talk about him forever and I LOVE it omg Denali you handsome little man LOOK HOW PRETTY YOU ARE *climbs on him*

AND SWITCHIE UGH I always love how you draw her and depict her and omg you understand her so well and it makes me want to cry and omg LOOK AT HER WEH. I love how her tail sticks up all curvy and artistically like that and her cute lil expression and how she's cat-bumping Denali in the cutest tigery way possible. And her design is perfect even though she's so tiny. And her blues shimmer with all these greens and oranges and ugh so much love forever and ever. Most favorite weeeheheheh.

Urgh thank you SO so much for this. Maybe instead of quitting my job I'll get a second one and just commission you forever and ever and ever so you keep drawing me things and making me blurbs. Yes. Perfect yes.

dfgnerogoefoewjfn YOUR COMMENTS NEVER CEASE TO BRING A HUGE SMILE TO MY FACE ;u;

No reply could never equal the wonderful comment you’ve left me and jgkehfwf thank you so much for the wonderful words <33333

I totally abused the shiny lovely scales on Denali and may have made them a little to shimmery in places, I need to learn to use regular light sources not intense rays all the time.... >___>

BUT DENALI LIKES IT >_>
So. Dramatic lighting will prevail >3>

Mushy Switchie can’t escape meeeee I’ll turn her in to a soft little cup cake HARHAR


BUT GOD THOSE CLIFFS
It took a few wrist cramps to get the cliff and grass done but it actually looks awful up close xD

It’s allll an illusion... *waves arms around*

ifwaehfoawi THANK YOU so much for the wonderful comment and I am so so happy you like it!! <333333

If you DO want to see the poopy close ups then I can send you the full size file in an email

ilusomuch

What's this about quitting your job my lovelove? How are things with you? :<

And since my Whatsapp is farting about, honestly, take as long as you need to send over the money. I sprung this on you out of the blue and wouldn’t expect you to pay instantly, so take as long as you need! <3

Oh wow, that detail just looks phenomenal, from the rigidness of the terrain and wispy grass to those wonderful scales and wingspan as the water encircles the edges
Really enjoy that light serene color palette
Stunning work c:
