Description After the constant uploading of Owltober, it feels like it's been ages since I uploaded something. Finally at a brief lull in work, so it's time to work through the commissions/gift art on my plate.

This is a commission for *DeckardCanine . It was nice to relax and paint on this, since I haven't done anything touching on this style in a while.

Hope he likes it, and I hope you do too!

This is so pretty! You've got a really unique style. Totally looks like an illustration from a beautiful children's book

Thanks! Man, I know pretty much every artist out there says 'I want to do a children's book', but I would be all OVER that noise, f'reals. One of these days, dangit!

Love the soft lighting and shading on this piece. The detail on the quilt, namely the highlights and indications of the fabric being pulled in some places, makes it look very realistic. Oh, and the owl. Can't forget the adorable owl plush. I really want one.

How long would you say this piece took to complete?

I'm really glad you enjoyed all the little details I slipped in there. x] I still have a long way to go, but this painting was a fun bit of practice for sure. I'm a lazy bum replying to comments so late, so it makes it hard to remember how long it took me. XD I'll ballpark 5-10 hours? Not that that's a very specific range. xDD

You, my friend, have patience. I lose patience with most of my work somewhere around the 5 hour mark.

Awe, no worries! I always like reading comments - they're more informative than faves in my opinion and they make people feel appreciated. That's the whole point of an art community, isn't it?

Once Crys and I have more than one room of our own, I totally wanna track down materials and attempt to make a plush like that. ♥ Thank you! <333

Aw such a cute little smile, and that chubby owl! The way the light's pouring in and the slight angle really add so much to it!

I typically suck at creating any kind of grounded or interesting perspective, so I tried my best to warp this one in an appealing way. Glad it paid off! ♥

Love the highlights on the blanket, they really help to add to the atmosphere I think

Thankya ♥ Almost lost them in the smoothing process, but added them back in toward the end since the sheen felt more interesting.

Carrieli In reply to kthxplz [2011-11-18 09:49:33 +0000 UTC]

Definitely a smart choice to add them back in!

PS. You've got an owl coming your way soon.

Oh, I'd forgotten about that! I am certain it will register on the Owl Enjoyment Scale as 'A Hoot'. ♥
