Description
kiriban prize for ^^ his character of polar fox on a tree hiding during night. I know its not usuall to see for on tree
I used soft watercolor paper , dyed it with coffee (picture smells funny) and painted with temepra on it. I think next time i will use less pigment to save more coffee texture.
Its more than A4 sized. better to look from distance. Paint were feathering a lot so it didnt allow me too many details but i guess its not needed.
I am sorry for not showing all colors of your character it was eaten by shading. all darker areas are higlighted by light. so greyish strypes became more lighter.

haha thanks for comment !

i made some corrections of branch and reuploaded it now because there were more ppl saing that. I am afraid its still partially flat. I probably made dome critical mistake in base color of branch and i cant get out from that :/ anyway thanks for mentioning it it made to work on it again !

Your experiment with coffee staining in this picture succeeded The fox is very cute, and it's even cuter that he's in a tree! I know, not a usual place for a fox, but that makes it cute. The fur looks very thick and fluffy, especially where the body bends, showing that this fox has a nice, thick arctic coat with nice subtle browns apparent in some areas. The tail looks wonderfully fluffy
I think the shadow of the moon should match the color of the background though, since both will look like endless sky.
Does the picture still smell like coffee?

haha yes it still smells
I wanted do some starts before but i decided leave visible only moon. i cant say if it is better to hide or show i cant imagine that now. maby ei can do antoher attempt with less paint and leaving more coffee texture.
haha i tyred to make him look like really waiting for first snow but you said.. tehre arent trees were arctic foxes live !"

absolutely beautiful!! I love the way you shaded it, and the gorgeous texture of the fur... and I also love the coffee stained background, it really brings out the monochromes of the fox. I LOVE IT! and the branches and leaves, as well as the yellow-golds of the background really give it a nice "autumn" feel to it... very nice~

you're welcome ^_^
and that's a very smart idea you had; it worked out beautifully! I should try that sometime, leaving the colors simpler to heighten the emphasis of other elements... excellent idea~

Tenhleten se moc povedl! Zlatavá se sříbřitě šedou mi tedy odvádí myšlenky k příjemnějším věcem, než je příchod zimy, ale o to mě to víc baví na to koukat. Heh, chvilku mi to trvalo, ale to, jak je ten lišák na té větvi posazený, způsobuje, že vypadá jako namaskované prkno.
Moc dobrý kiriban!

I like the fur texture in this painting. The character looks so soft and fluffy. I also like all the detail that you put into the trees; they look quite realistic.
