Description
Finished commission for Ysegrim and Angus.I really enjoyed drawing this picture even though it was a lot of work *.*
Even though I live in a very beautiful area as well I wish I could drive where they are sitting to go for a hike. What an awesome view ^__^

it looks like you spent more time on the background than the actual cahracters
...
but over all i like the way the wolf and the leopard look i like the deatil you have in the dawing
you can definatly tell that you enjoied drawing the background
i love the way the spots look on the leopard i can imagen the hard work you put into this and for that i think ytou should make your character stand out more not just the background i think if the caharacter would stand outmore your drawing would be very good and excellent e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="

First of all, thank you for taking the time to write down a critique. I always appreciate that ^___^
And I think you're right. It is the problem Qzurr already descriped. I worked to much details into the background so the characters seem to vanish a bit ^^
I will try to lower the level of depth and detail in the background next time hoping the effort I put into the characters shows more then :3

i like the drawing but like i said the characters dont stand out its more like the whole drawing is the mountains and the wolf and leopard are just added to make it complete instead of it being reversed
its still way better than anything i ever done

I`m really glad to see your new artworks hun, because you proved alot in the last year : )
The only thing, what I noticed in some of your latest pictures, the background ( like mountain ) has same contrast, details, sometimes stronger than the characters. The mountains, or anz other objekt should be less detailed, and not so contrasted x) and won`t steal our focus from the characters.
I did it too some years ago, but I learnt much from other artists" tip when they explained it to me x)
There is some link, I hope helps a bit for you:

Nraaw, thank you so much for your thoughtful words hon :3 I really appreciate the help for improvements on my art!
I know what you mean and realized it after finishing this picture. But still I'm not totally sure how to change it.
I think I spent to much time trying to catch all the details from the background and in the end I overdid it... yes? I will try to keep working on this and play around more with everything

Welcome dear. :3
Could be hehe, try not draw hard the far objekts at the early picture. After some scan when you think the characters are finished, you can shot the best strong tones for the bg :3

Okis..... I will try to remember this next time :3
Is it the same for rooms btw? ö.ö Because objects in rooms are usually much more close?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In rooms you must play more with the lights. But always the character who is focus, should get more attention. For rooms I need some practice too, been a while since my last one hehe.

^__^ I will just try my best :3 Next big commission will be inside a room... that's why I asked. Ah well... we will see :3

You've done an amazing job on the background on this picture. It is well detailed, but your characters are still the focus of the picture. Great job!

Ugh, I wish I could write critiques, because this is a great picture. They look so content, and the colors and mood given off by it is really good.
(I'm also a sucker for gay couples 
I think I'll write you up a long critique in the comments section when I have more time. ^~^

Coloring the background really was an adventure XD

I should think into doing more backgrounds someday. XD

Der Hintergrund hätte mich einfach nur völlig meshugge gemacht. oO ISt das alles mit Polys gemacht so im Detail? Sieht richtig stark aus!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mit Polys wäre ich vermutlich gestorben XD Der Hintergrund ist mit Gouache gemacht :3 Mit einem 2er Pinsel für das komplette Bild XDD

Immer noch... sehr... krass. O_O Respekt!

Beeindruckender Hg! Die Steine sehen großartig aus~ ^^.

Nraaw, vielen lieben Dank ^___^
Gouache ist mein neues Lieblingsmedium Nr. 1. Manchmal hab ich das Gefühl die Farbe coloriert das Bild ganz von allein und ich muss nur den Pinsel halten XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ich gebe zu, ich habe von Gouache keine Ahnung ^^'. Aber ich schrecke allgemein vor allem zurück, das einen Pinsel beinhaltet :'D. Daher... Respekt XD!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Das ging mir bisher genau so :3 Pinsel war mein Feind XD
Aber Gouache ist einfach... super... wie die perfekte Mischung aus Acryl und Aquarell *____*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol. Mein Problem mit Pinsel ist einfach, dass der i-wann einfach aufhört zu malen - teh horror 8'D. Und ich hab das Gefühl, ich hab weniger Kontrolle, als wenn ich einen Stift benutze, aber das ist wiederum nur eine Frage der Übung, methinks :'3.
Ich hab mich letztens mal an ein Aquarell-Bild (ACEO) gewagt, nur um mich mal mit dem Medium vertraut zu machen, aber das war schon sehr... entmutigend x'D. Falls du gucken magst, das ist eine ACEO zu "Gyakuten Saiban" und auf y!gallery hochgeladen.
Acryl hab ich ebenfalls bei einer ACEO probiert, allerdings nur für Blutsprenkel, daher kann ich dafür noch kein Urteil abgeben x'D. Sind halt sehr dickflüssig, aber die Deckkraft is scho' subba :3.

Find ich aber soweit echt gut ö.ö Keine Ahnung was du da hast XD
Aber ich gebe zu ich kann weder mit Aquarell ncoh mit Acryl... beides furchtbar. Gouache verbindet die beiden Medien perfekt und nach nur die Vorteile der beiden XD Deckraft von Acryl, wasserlöslichkeit von Aquarell aber eben gibt es auf dem Papier keine Ekelränder mehr weil es sich nicht mehr auf dem Papier so auflöst wie Aquarell XD

Öhm, ich hab endlos rumgewutzt x'D. Geschmiert, gewischt, Farben vermengt, wo keine vermengt werden sollten etc. etc. Und das mir, wo ich immer so sauber arbeite, da pingelig 8'D. Ich hätt meinen Aquarell-Kasten bald gegen die Wand gepfeffert x'D. Aber danke fürs Ermutigen, ich probiers i-wann nochmal auf größerem Format und mit Quads; das ist eher meine Comfort-Zone :'3.
Das klingt echt gut; vielleicht sollte ich Gouache auch mal versuchen
