Description FULLVIEW PLEASE!!

It is finished!! And, for added pizzaz, I decided to make it a png! (You know, with the transparent boarder. )

It just seemed to fit with this piece, you know? I did my best to entirely close off the boarder, and it's simple enough (unlike the league piece) that it warrants the ability to be transparent without too much effort. I've gotten much better at sealing off my lines and making smooth edges.

This is a piece done for my special studies class this semester that will (hopefully) be appearing in our BFA show on the 15th. Those of you who watch me may remember the in-progress piece here: [link]

The final did not turn out exactly as I had hoped, and I curse myself for putting that dark shadow under the bat- It makes him look super close to the ground, which was not my intent. I wanted to make him look like he was in motion and like, coming down at the snail to scare him. Ah well, lesson learned.

Thank you very much!! I think that's my favorite part about watercolor- being able to do soft and intense lighting. The only problem is, I can't do that in every picture. XD

This is really awesome. I remember you posted the mouse before the rest because you felt that everything else would turn out badly.
