Description A little over due gift art for

This is their character Castello, isn't he gorgeous? His wings can appear and disappear but I decided to really challenge myself and draw him with wings. I'm very pleased with this, I think it's among one of my best pieces. I spent a lot of time on the detail and I think it payed off

When I first saw this I was speechless, so I'm back again to comment xD

HE LOOKS FREAKIN' AMAZING I can't believe how smooth and glossy his coat is...wow. And he's SMILING heehee...and he has leg wrinkles...and I still can't quite believe that you drew him with his wings and full armor and everything! His mane and tail look awesome...all flying in the wind and whatnot xD Oh and I LOVE his eye! It glows but it still has definition.

You did an excellent job on his armor and wings, too. The little armor-wings are perfect, and so is the gold edging. I love that you drew his wings xD They're so wonderfully FEATHERY! Thanks so much hun I really appreciate this. He really looks perfect and I love him. Thank you!

Hehe a comment like that always wants me to literally rofl

Thanks so much, I'm thrilled you like it, and heck, I love it too!!! Again he's such a GORGEOUS character, him and Nalani are my favourites now The armour and wings were a challenge for me and I really need to practice on stuff like that so it was great for me too, he was so much fun to draw
Not to mention I should have been revising for my maths mock tomorrow but I drew him instead

Teehee! They are my specialty.

You should, 'cause you really did an awesome job with him. I still can't get over how gosh darn shiny he is. So wonderful. His armor is a bit of a challenge, but it really completes him I think. Especially with the little wings on them. Hehe. I should practice with wings more as well, really...they're just really hard for some reason.

LOL! Horses before equations! Whoo! I hate math so much XD

I've noticed! You definitely come out with the craziest replies to gift art! That's probably why I make you them cos they're so darn awesome!

Yeah he's such a cool character, stop making awesome characters!


Always! I hate maths too

LOL well, they're fun to write, so I guess everybody wins xD Plus, you know, it's weird to me when I see someone going "Thx I luv it" on a gift. THERE SHOULD BE MORE.

I can't help it! They want me! I actually have 2 more to draw and then I'm going to try to quit adopting for a while...I need to draw the ones I have. xD

It is to me a bit too, they put all the effort into making it and they get 4 word 'thanks'

There's loads of characters on adoptions I've seen that look awesome but you have to like, buy them I'd rather make my own ^^

Cloudrunner64 In reply to Shinymane1 [2011-05-10 18:42:22 +0000 UTC]

Exactly! Effort deserves effort.

Ahh yeah...I refuse to participate in point adopts. Or real money ones. ESPECIALLY real money ones, good grief. It's so much easier to just design your own.

You could design one similar to the auction one too

I am trying so hard to learn my german speaking for tomorrow's exam now, it's so difficult! i hate it! lol random
