Description
Don't think I can swing this big axe? Which body part would you like to bet on that?My part of an art trade with .
Okay, I suck at weapons. T__T And multi-colored fur. Metal confuses the heck out of me and so does changing fur colors. I really hate the way her fur came out. It looks really globby and dumb to me. Maybe I should have stuck with ultra smooth like normal... Oh, the axe handle is so dark because it's ironwood. >D And the designs on it aren't shiny because they're supposed to be carved into the blade, so they're unpolished. Still looks bad, I know.
But that's what I was going for.I like the backdrop, though.
I had a blast with the bottlebrush trees! The little grassies look kinda cheap, but better than the ground did without them. There needed to be green there. And though I'm still angry with how the character came out, I'd mess it up all over again just to have the joy of coloring her hair! 
I 
the hair! It was hard to make it wavy like that and I had a ton of fun using the calico colors there. I stupidly colored over the shine on the front lock, but hey, I like it.Well, I hope you like it, ~Shadowpelt ! Not my best work but I really did try. Not a single brown marker used, interestingly.
Materials: Sakura Pigma Micron, Prismacolor markers, 8.5 by 11 inch smooth bristol.

Oh, I can show you how to do fur like that; there's a simple 'formula'. And the metal engraving looks flat because there should be a little depth to it.

Yikes, upset kitty witha big axe.
Really nice work on this one, great posing and excellent work on the colors and details. Really love all the warm colors.

Gah! I haven't talked to you for far too long! D: Well, this seems like a great place to pick things up again.
The drawing looks great in itself. The anatomy is all spot on, the pose is interesting, realistic, and natural, mostly, (though since critique is welcome I feel compelled to say that her left arm is perhaps a bit too far to the side- when lifting a heavy weight like that, it'd be more natural to hold it a bit more to the front than the side, as it matches the natural bend of the arm a bit better) and other than the one thing the pose feels very natural and looks very much like a pose one could comfortably be in.
Also, the picture is very well laid out, having a good balance of interest spread evenly throughout the picture, making it very pleasing to the eye.
But, the real defining point of this picture is the colouring, which is absolutely wonderful. The hair, as you mentioned, came out great! You can almost feel the life and bounce wavy hair like that would have
Great background as well. The way it's laid out really draws your attention to the character, everything seems to be pointing right at her! The colours are vibrant, especially that sunset-esque gradient in the background.
And lastly, I love the eyes
All in all this is a really great piece, I think. Nicely done. <^^>

Always after me lucky arms!
Nah, you're right. 
Thanks for the input.

Oh, you know, when you look at it that way, the arm makes a bit more sense, yes. Actually, what the best way, I think, to show that it's resting on the ground, would be to have the ground terminate the handle instead of the other way around like you've got here... you know, make it look like the very end is actually a little under the ground? Earth is kind of soft and would be displaced by the heavy axe, pushing the end slightly underground. Combine that with a bit of shading and it should get the look across perfectly... I think. Just thought I'd toss that out there...

By the way, we have bottlebrush trees over here too, but I'm quite sure they're completley different from your ones.

No brown markers used? *scratches head* But then, how did you do the bit with the thingy... never mind, it boggles the mind. Brown without brown... too confusing for this Donna.
I don't see a problem with the axe, though. My favourite bit is the BEAUTIFUL lighting however. That glorious yellow backdrop framed by the flowers is just gorgeous. I love it. You should be proud of this piece mate.

Ah, we're both online at the same time. Can the Internet handle the craziness? I think the two colours will come out like khaki, though I imagine I am way off.

OOooohh very pretty. I really like the lighting that you did on the axe. It looks very nice. Her hair is also expertly done. I know what you mean about how difficult it is to do the different colored fur thing. It's hard! But you did a nice job with it and the shading on the fur. Love the background too!
