Description A Premium Commission for one of my oldest and dearest commisison clients,
This piece is meant as a gift for a dear friend of hers. I hope it lifts his spirits!

I was actually very much inspired by the sound and feel of this song: [link] which I used as inspiration while I worked on the coloring stages of this commission!
I hope I was able to capture a little of the calm, serene feeling the song gave me, and was able to pass it on to you guys!

Illustration belongs t me.
Character belongs to *Ravenclaw105

Thank you SO MUCH for taking on this commission, Nettle! I can't think of anyone else who could capture the feeling I wanted in this picture better than you could! I know Raven will love this.

I absolutely love the colors you used for this! The whole picture just fits together so beautifully! I love Raven's expression and how you used the colors to make his coat look all warm. I love the floating dandelion fluff SO much, and the stone wall is such a great touch! Everything about this is perfect, and I'm so glad I purchased it from you! Another great commission from one of my favorite artists! Thank you so, so much for doing such a gorgeous job on this piece!!

Thank YOU so much for choosing to commisison me time and time again! I get to know your characters a little better each time, but it's also really neat getting to draw for a friend of yours,and his character!

Yes, I wanted the whole picture have this sort of happy, rosey flush! I hope looking at it will make him smile whenever he gets to come home again!
Thank you again for choosing to commisison me, it is always such a pleasure! I hope you enjoy the nest two pieces just as much!

Tristaeza [2012-08-11 02:24:49 +0000 UTC]

Oh, my glob. This is fantastic. I love how you managed to incorporate a kind of fall-but-still-spring kind of feeling into this. I don't know how to describe it. It just feels like you made two seasons as far apart as night and day come together in this one piece, and it's just spectacular. Plus, I love that line-art! Pure genius to add the feeling of the background to the character by using the line-art and coloring it.

You're just getting better and better, man. Keep up the amazing work! <3

<-- TOTALLY HAD TO USE THAT NOW.

Thank you! I'm so happy I have you to watch my progress as I continue to improve and try new things with my art!


Speaking of fall, I cannot WAIT till the cooler weather! I already have some cute new clothes, including a cute brown double-breasted blazer, and flower-lace tights that I wanna wear like NOW but can't.
GO AWAY HEAT NO ONE LOVES YOU. :I

LIKE A BOSS.

<333 Dude, I'm happy to watch you continue to improve.

Ugh. The heat. Thankfully it's been a relatively mild summer down here, so we haven't really been like, "UGHHH. I'M MELTING."
But yes. Heat = hate. All you have to do is change a single letter and heat becomes hate.
