Description This is an art trade for Cooley , and I hope she likes it This was long overdue, but it's finally completed.

The delay was caused from changing the concept from the original image I had in mind. At first, I had trouble decided whether or not to sketch out BladeWind in her wild form, or her anthro form. The first picture had the anthro BladeWind in flight with a dragon chasing her. But I scraped the idea as it was not the quality I desired.

In this art, I combined the two features; I love the wild BladeWind because she's primal and ferocious. However I like the physique of the anthro BladeWind. Combining these concepts led to this!

I had also wanted to include a type of blur to indicate speed, but it ruined the detail and didn't quite look right.

Enjoy!

oh, nice. i love how the claw is skimming over the water. and the feathers are beautiful. the stray feather is a nice little extra, but next time maybe put in a few more to even it out? really nice.

Thank you very much! Well, one feather is symbolic to me for some reason - I thought about putting one little one with it, but it got lost in the final production hehe. I can't add too many feathers - molting is never a good sign lol. Thanks though!

Kiketsu In reply to Five-Aces [2006-02-23 07:01:59 +0000 UTC]
