Description
*PLEASE download for full view... the deviantart viewer simply isn't the same and ruins the quality.*For this, it was kind of a spontanous thing. I was inspired by one particular sunset in portugal... it was absolutely breath taking, and the clouds looked fantastic.
I very rarely do backgrounds, so this was a great practice for me, and depite how much I hate the messy, odd-looking candyfloss-like clouds, and the blurry mountains... I think it came out ok for me. xD
This piece features my OC Crowia, orginally Crowie's new look. My oldest character, around 7 years old, and I knew she needed a revamp from her old, simple grey plumage, and I gave her something colourful and to be proud of.
Crowia is a pteri who resides on neopets. x)

FFFFF wow. I saw this in my watch and my brain did this: uovgdhfuidh.
I love the sunset, and for some strange reason I'm quite fond of the branch too (not because I'm a weird plant lover, but because it looks so shiny and ) but I absolutely love how the pteri looks. The colours you used look absolutely lovely, she seems to match the sunset. ;D
I can really see you put a lot of effort in this and in my opinion it was totally worth it.

WOWOWOWOWOW. Danii when you work hard on a piece it really pays off! <3
Mmm, okay so first I have to comment on Crowie's design. It is GORGEOUS. The colours are fantastic - a very nice change from her grey colour scheme before. :3 I adore the shades of pink on her, very pretty! The wings are also so fantastic - it's such a lovely blend of colours! I can just imagine how magnificent and graceful she would look like soaring in the skies! :'D The details on the feathers look great. :3 I also love the piece of jewlery on her tail and the markings look great! 8D Goodness, very wonderful revamp indeed!
Of course the background just makes the picture all the more beautiful! :3 I the effort you put in really shows. c: The sky is beautiful - such a lovely array of colours! The beams of light are awesome. <3 I like the clouds - they look so fluffly!
The lighting on them is really well done! The mountains and the grass are also drawn nicely. :3 You're really good at backgrounds! And the birds flying are a really nice touch to the picture. (:
Anyways, a really wonderful and stunning piece m'dear. ^-^ Excellent work here Danii ~ <3
