Description Sorry 'bout the enormous watermark

The original plan was to draw one of =silverglass19 's characters as a llama in an attempt at originality and humor. So much for that...!

I have never spent so long on a deviation before... ever! And I haven't even started the shading yet! I'm not complaining though! It's been challenging but so darn FUN!

I'm posting this WIP to show that
1) I am not ignoring dA
2) My contest entry IS well underway
3) I'm going to be pushed to meet the Friday deadline as I'm currently entertaining guests, so have barely any time to come on here and continue with my art!

You don't have to comment on this! This is just an update of sorts!

N.B. This will be moved to scraps when I upload the finished version, and I will also then post credits, links etc

This looks so awesome already! I love the pose and the way you drew the face!! And the clever way you included the markings and the swan symbol. :3 You are too great, I really love this!

Hehe, thankies! I'm so glad you liked it at this stage - I would be pretty scuppered by now if you didn't!

As I said in my other comment, your refs and comic gave me the inspiration for the markings/swan symbols, so thanks be to you!

Contests really are a lot of fun!

You can tell you have put time into this. I just love the idea of Seven being a tiger, it really fits and you have worked the markings in so well. The pose looks difficult too, the angle is great Good luck in the contest hun

Yay! I'm so glad you think so! I spent ages trying to think of a suitable animal, then find a suitable reference from dA, and once I'd drawn it try and make it actually look something like Seven!

Only the shading to go now... I don;t think I'll have time to do a decent background now.

Are you entering the contest?

Yay!

Haha, no, I'm pretty shocking with messages and the like! Real Life keeps intervening!!

You obviously put a lot of effort into your entry, but I'm glad it wasn't all blood, sweat and tears Fun makes the world go round! Ok, I'm sounding just a *tad* cheesey now!! Indeed, it was MUCH fun!

I've been ok, SO SO SO much has happened over the past 6 months, it's been unreal! Hence the absence from dA!

How are you? How's life treating you?
