Description
"A loud pop and crack rang out in the air and right as Gressel was jumping over a pile of sticks right in front of Rain, a burning piece of wood came crashing down onto his back. He let out a yelp, but through the pure chaos that was going on Rain jumped over his brother, and continued to run with the others. No one turned back to help, for everyone was too concerned on their own survival. Gressel yelped out and howled in pain as the wood burned on top of him. His voice like the others slowly faded into the fire."This is
commission (2 of 2) which he's been paitently been waiting for since jan DX so aorry about that, hope it's worth the wait 
This piece was inspired but the extract above. ~RainWolf1994 gave me two extracts to work from and for this one i chose that section.
I think this if the first time i draw the fire first XD i needed to draw it first so i know where the light sauce is coming from XD
I've also tried my new linearting style in this [= my new shading style is in it too.
As for the character i tried to make them all look different, and for two of them [brown and grey] i was allowed to design them so i used wolf refs to come up with a design.
And this time now the trees didn't take me an hour each XD thanks to the loveleh photoshop.
When iw as sketching this out i already new what poses i wanted them and the direction bt i realsied that for it to work they must be a reason for them to be swerving round the flames like that so i added the rock XD ese it wouldn't make more sense to just run forward
Whilst drawing this i watch many DvDs XD haha i got bored of songs
Also this is the last time im accepting commissions with this many characters DX the max will be 3 now
Only ~RainWolf1994 may use this
Original Title is Original XD

I thought that you know maybe I should write you this critique e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="
The overall flow of the scene is very well thought out, I like how it sweeps across the canvas, to show a focal point in Rain's eyes. (Lead)
I agree with the other critique to perhaps keep in mind the blackness that comes in the base of a fire, and when doing fires again, I like how you blurred them, but perhaps after the blurring step take some time to go over the picture again and add a sharpness to what lays underneath the flame, cuz if you observe a flame you will notice that though they glow there is also a sharpness inside of them. The color is done rather well for the overall product. Alice's(brown) face also looks like it could perhaps be drawn a little down, like it is too crunched in the horizontal.
I love the intensity in Rain, but I must admit there is a large flaw that isn't quite a flaw but could greatly add to the impact that a scene like this could bring to stand out. Gressel is perhaps too far back there in the background. When he is being left behind, scared and trapped under that log there is always one thing that truly conveys fear or pain that everyone can always connect to so they are a main focus to me in art and writing. The eyes. Gressel is too far back to see his eyes, if he were perhaps pushed slightly forward and given an expression that could be seen in his eyes then I think this really would be a blown out of the water art piece.
Hope this helps!

thank you [=
yeah, i was struggling to come up with a way to make it black and also keep the glow of the fire present in the picture, so perhaps i'll go back and try and find a steady medium between the chard trees and the glow from the fire. that's understandible [= however cam a little confuse by the critique on Alice's face? to you mean perhaps the muzzle appears to short?
well initionally Gressel was going to be further forward, but to bring him forward would mess with the perspective of the picture and the positioning of the characters. i took a few trial and errors to get the characters in a decent position so they could all be seen and their faces could be seen without tails getting in the way and such. so to bring him forward would mean he'd be behind Tsuki [sp.] which would mean he can't be seen there anyways. but yeah i see you point, perhaps it would've been wiser to bring him forward so his expression and fear could be seen better by the viewers. but as i previously pointed out, that would require mass adjustment of the characters and possible redrawing of them for that composition to work. However i can edit his eyes to make them open to give him more emotion but from the distance he's at it wouldn't be seen. but i see your point [= and it'll take it on bored for future art works ^^

Haha yeah perhaps a idea for placement to give you help for future works maybe take into consideration you could have placed him almost in front of Tsuki depth wise, but still to the right of her, almost giving them all a triangle pattern, lol its hard to explain something like this with words xD That way it would be more of Tsuki running past him instead of him already back behind them
And i mean that her face is a little short on the vertical aspect, so perhaps an elevation to the eyes or something(slight), and a small lengthening of the muzzle, i think if you added some shade(slight as well) it would help add to the depth of the face to give it a better aesthetic to the mind and eye :3

0.o not really, because i wanted it to look like all the characters jumped over him, and if he's the the right of her it would've gave the impression that she just ran by him. from the book, it gave me the impression that they were running with such speed, so and where quite close to one another, so for rain to jump over him so would the other charaters as they're not going to stop to go around o.0 so that composition wouldn't of really worked.
arr i see 0.o yeah i was going to say i could only move the eeys slightly if i were to because the corner of the eyes lines up with the bottom of the ears so i wouldn't be able to move it by much. yeah she's in an awkward place to put shading on because she has night from both sides. and she does have highlights on her face but you can't see them very clearly. also i struggle with decent shading to faces XD and her face is stright on with many light sauces makes it harder XD haha

Wow this is great! All there expressions suit the picture wonderfully, the white one's my favorite e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="
One thing that I could point out is that my eyes are naturally looking for a dark color. I know you have the greys in the rocks and some of the wolves, but thats more of a nutural. It would be nice if there was maybe some black charing on the trees of grass.
Also the white and grey/blue wolf look a bit plump to me, but that might just be your style.
Thats all I can really think to say e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="

hehe thank you ^^ by dark colour do you mean charing? i may add that in later [= im just unsure how to make it look good. there's two white wolves so could you care to explain which ones [= and no it's not a style thing XD but if you mean the front one [= i can see where you mean XD again i may edit that later [=
hehe thank you ^^

Anytime ^^
Oh, I'm sorry, I do mean the white one in the front C:
And yes I guess it would be a little hard to draw charring and ash... Maybe the burn tool if you use PSE? That seems fitting xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hehe ok ^^ yeah XD also the ash one the characters is darker but the lighting on them and the glow from the fire lightens it up [= just though i'd meantion that XD haha yeah that's what i was going to try
