Description
I really need advice on shading and probably fur texture.. the way I usually do fur, I group a layer filled with absolute grey over my fur color and shading layers, put it on Overlay, apply a noise filter, and smudge it around to make the texture.I was too frustrated with the shading, on Mightyena especially, to draw a background so I just messed with the brown I already had. I guess they're in a den or something.
Also.. nobody may use this image for any reason, this includes editing, sticking in forums (RP or otherwise), pose reference, website wallpaper, whatever. I hate even having to say "don't steal this" but apparently if I don't then it's assumed to be a free-for-all.

Mightyena is one of my top favorite PokΓ©mon for sure, it has a lot of sentimental value for me. I really just wish it didn't get such poor stats

Finally someone who understands! No matter what game I have I always try to keep my jolteon and mightyena with me I think mightyena should be given more praise than it has

Mightyena seems reasonably popular with fans, but... it gets practically ignored by Game Freak / Nintendo as far as merchandise goes x_x

It's so beautiful -
I've added it to my favourites; you're amazing!
I'm obsessed with PokΓ©mon, and my boyfriend is too ^^''
And the sweet part is, I usually call him Umbreon,
and he has named me Mightyena, so this picture is
not only gorgeus - to me, it also represents me and
my boyfriend <3

Oh, they're so adorable together!! In my Sapphire game, I have my Quipaw and Mordred as a couple. So this deviation has extra cuddly significance for me~!
I really love this pose, it has so much motion and energy. And their expressions are so wonderfully blissful... Amazing work, I love seeing well-drawn Pokemon with love!

God...I wish I was Mightyena. He looks so comfortable. And he has that silky fur...Umbreon is so lucky.
On a scale of ten...I critique this artwork ten stars. It gives me a plesurable feel.

Aww, that is beyond cute. <3 I especially love how you did the realism on the fur. The shading looks fine to me, but this is coming from someone who's still trying to improve on their shading...heh...

Awww so cute, I love the expressions <3
You say "I was too frustrated with the shading". I'm sorry, but when I saw your picture, I don't think that ! Oh yes I know, I'm not an awesome artist, but when I look your picture, I think the shading is amazing : I love the effect on the arm, the black go into the grey (yay good english ), and the head.
Well, that's it ^^ I love

Ever tried slapping some signature thingy, or just some words saying who it belongs to onto your stuff? At the very least it discourages those too lazy to photoshop it off, and there's a lot of those.

CUTE. *ahem*
UmbreonxMightyena is the new pairing of the future!
Anyway... I like this. They both look very detailed. Especially Umbreon.

Puppies! I love it! very cute. I normally do not tell anyone else how to do something art-related, which is why I do not make tutorials like so many other people on here do. But the way I make fur is generally with multiple layers. I will use my Netaro art as an example. I pick a base color (for Netaro it would be medium brown) and then draw with a hard, round brush (size 1-3) every individual hair. Time consuming, yeah. Then I use the smudge tool, again a hard round brush (size 3) and on about 85% strength. This way I can make the fur whispy or move in whatever direction I choose and I can pull it off the body to create flyaways, etc. In other layers I put different shades of whatever color I am using (for Netaro I would make a layer with dark brown, for shadow, and another layer with a very light beige or brown for highlight). You could put them in all one layer but I think different layers for each "coat" makes it easier to work with. That is how I do it, if that gives you any ideas on new ways to make your fur. If you want to ask me more, go ahead
But the best advice is just to play around with different brushes and ways to smudge. The smudge tool is your friend.

I love the Mightyena's pose, it's beautiful. If you want critique, I'd say that it wouldn't be sitting on the tail, but that's just me. I don't see to much wrong with it. ^_^
