Description
Happy extremely belated b-day, Beth! This's for you, babes.She's supposed to incorporate elements of your Chinese and European zodiacs.
For the Chinese one, I didn't know much about it, so I mostly just tried to make her face kinda dog-like.
For the European one, I did the following:
Color: The Capricorn's color is gray. That doesn't make for much interest in a painting, so I went with low-saturation blues. I know it's your fav. color, plus...
Element: Cappy's element is water. Hence the aquatic theme
Animal: I know you're not overly fond of the whole goat thing, so I mostly just put goat horns on the dragon. Figured that was enough...
Polarity: Polarity is negative/feminine. So... it's a girl!
Hope she isn't too cutesy for your taste. Apparently in my mind, feminine = cute. Hopefully not too cute...

well done! i still cant figure out how people make things like this on the computer and make it come to life! .. like its hard to draw things that could posibly be real or lifelike cause people have somthing to compare it against. so well done

This is so unspeakably awesome... Beautiful effect with the water *jealous because I can't possibly draw that* and the dragon itself is amazing. I love the whole concept of the zodiac stuff.

Awww... sanku ^^ I used the scatter and count jitter on my brush in photoshop (along with the pressure and size control for my stylus) to get the droplet-y effect. I have mixed feelings about it, tho. I kinda like how it looks, but I'm not sure it goes well wif da rest of the piccy...

Trust me, all of it flows perfectly. Too perfectly. *glares at her own art, which has ugly color clashes all over the place*

Awww... Sanku ^^ Hee... I am the ruler of the color clash. You should've seen what I wore when I was a kid. Like... neon colors. And pink and red.
Of course, my color perception is sort of... troublesome. Which is why I work in low-saturation stuff. I'm not what you'd call color-blind, but if anything's saturated over, say... fifty percent, i have trouble differentiating similar colors. Like pink and red... >.< It's annoying.

Wow. That's plan cool. Y'know. The water, though seems to look like little dots when it comes up, that's the only thing that I don't like as much as the drawing, since the rest of the texture is really smooth and kind of creamy. But I love how you got the texture, that's plain amazing and -put many more cliche words here, since I'm too lazy to do so myself. xD-

That'd kick much ass. Which reminds me, I need to go buy some black ink this next weekend. It's gonna, like, run out. 0.o Then I'd hafta curl up and die, most likely.
