The glow!! I know that eye is meant to be light purplish, but there were too many purple/blues in the picture and it needed to stand out
Also, I drew the markings of the tail tilted. What you can see is meant to be what you could see from a birds eye view, not from the side. Sorry about that... I realised that when I was halfway through and couldn't possibly undo everything

My second entry (sort of -- more like a change, even though the glow was done during the process) for WhipStitch's contest. I even printed out all the contest info so I could draw it in school... *cough* I drew it in school, coloured at home This took up ALL my weekend basically, so I couldn't do anything else... But it's not a waste, of course, of a wonderful weekend

I actually used more than 5 layers @_@. I used about 30, which is a breakthrough... In some other recent pictures I only used one
I learnt that layers are good. Lots of them ^^

Some said they would see her jumping from cloud to cloud in the storms, and it was the weight of her paws upon them that would bring down the bright bolt born from them. Seldom did the stories tell of the violet twilights when she would be seen running through the trees and charge toward the great cliff that she would rest upon. The oldest of the Elders once said that just before she plummeted from its birth, she would look back and into the very souls of those that looked upon her, and smile, and whisper of a Great Leap and a Sacred Belief, and then leap off the edge and out of sight. Those whose heads were not bowed to her would whisper of hearing a great hum like the course of angels. One old wolf once told of his curiosity and how it led him to that edge after she leapt, and his words told of a great pair of wings breathing like electricity itself from her sides, and she could be seen running atop the water, wingtips touching waters surface just so, and its ripples would reach the shores, giving all the purest waters to drink.
