Description This is possibly the first entirely personal piece I have ever uploaded! This is a Christmas gift for my grandmother, of her dog, Finbar. He's 8 years old this year, and he was my very first show dog. He had his "last" show this october, and I wanted to do something special for her. This took me WAY out of my comfort zone, but she's always nagging me to do more realistic stuff, so... Only fair, haha.

10 damn hours later, this happened. Definately need to improve, but it's a start!

Happy Holidays! I will finish up the contest prizes as soon as I can. Thanks for being patient!

Laterz!

Someone else mentioned that, but I didn't get to see Ferah till now! They are similar! I think Ferah is either the same breed, or has the same breed somewhere.

This... is absolutely beautiful...
I know you can do realism; a lot of people who more-so do a cartoon-esque thing get nagged for not being able to do "realistic" stuff... when the truth is, a lot of them CAN.
Gorgeous... simply gorgeous work here!
All that time and effort paid off!

Sarn-Elyren In reply to MegBeth [2016-12-19 17:56:38 +0000 UTC]

Aww, thank you so much!!!
It is kind of aggravating, haha. Like, I know I can do realism to an extent, but because I mainly do stylized work people- especially old people, it seems- think thats all I can do. I hope this proves them wrong!
Thank you! Haha, after 10 hours I would hope it looks ok. I think there's room for improvement, but it's a good start! Thanks again!!!

It's good to branch out every once and a while, but your style is your style; an extension of yourself
And it's nothing to be looked down on

lol

It looks frigging awesome...

Sarn-Elyren In reply to MegBeth [2016-12-22 03:29:16 +0000 UTC]

Haha, yeah. I like my style, and even though I wanna branch out, I still love my style.

And thank you for the encouragement!
