Description 75. Mirror because I thought there was a "Reflection" in the list but I guess I was wrong.

OH MY GOD, IT'S DONE. It's finally done *sob* The stripes... THE STRIPES!! I was tempted to ditch the stripes all together and just make her a horse, especially after the shading on her base color turned out so well (as seen here: [link] ). |:c Oh well.

I would love this picture so much more if I had any background-making skills. I had planned on something more than the chunk of dirt and half-assed clouds... but that went away after I actually started working on the colors. At this point, she's lucky she even has that dirt.

Yay new shading techniques~. Even if it does make dealing with patterns a pain in my left shoulder.

PS: Her name is Zola. I have plans for this unbearably pink zebra... Given they are incredibly vague plans, but they are plans none-the-less! VAGUE!

(can you tell this picture broke my brain?)

EDIT: I forgot, I used this as a reference. [link] Those legs would have given me hell without it.

I think the first thing that had this picture catch my eye, is the fact that it has such a soft feeling, but is very clear and clean. For an anthro, she is very proportioned, and even though her stripes are complex, her initial form and outfit is simple. The reflection in the water is wonderful. I am horrible at depicting water in an image and you've done it VERY well here.
I feel the only thing off or missing, is like you said, more background. I know this probably killed you already, but it would be lovely if there were long grass in bunches behind the land she was in, making it just like one of those lakes where there's sometimes a hidden island you can kinda find and hang out as a secret hiding place. =3 Lily pads and maybe some moss would make it look nice too.
Though this is a VERY lovely piece. Thank you for sharing this. =3

Wow, thank you so much for the in depth comment! The water was actually really simple, just a flipped version of the main image with a gradient and ripple effect slapped on top (it looks horrible without the ripple, trust me xD). I was actually planning something with a little plant life here and there to fill the emptiness, but it just never panned out. Maybe next time, if I can pace myself better.

You're very welcome! That's interesting... maybe you could make some sort of simple tutorial of how you did that... because I honestly am clueless as to how.
Even with the emptiness, it's still lovely. You did a WONDERFUL job. I hope to see more. =3

If I did make one, it would be VERY simple. xD Plus the program I use is like a simplified version of photo shop, so the buttons and stuff might me a little different. There are some good water tutorials floating around dA, though.

Soon I hope to do a companion piece to this with a purple tapir girl. I just need to decide on a setting

Thank youuuu~ Goodness, this piece is getting so much love I might just start submitting stuff again!

It really made me want to color stuff... but not stripes. Anything but those.

It would be, but first I have to actually finish stuff D8 *dramatic music* There's a price for everything, I suppose.

I donΒ΄t know how to use computer graphics so I really adore those who can. You really did a fine job here and not only in the fine colouring, posing and anatomy but also how nicely the character fits with her surrowndings. Beautyful!

Thank you very much. I just recently learned a few of the tricks I used in this picture, so I'm glad to see they paid off.

Oh! You reminded me to credit the reference I used. So thanks for that, too!

I can see how I reminded you, but your equine is layed down in much a nicer angle and style to look at.

Oh wow, I didn't even think of that xD You're very right! It's like bubble gum and cotton candy all over.

Thanks for the fav, by the way.
