As I wasn't going to be able to afford my usual subscription gift I figured I'll still give a person something this year, and decided to do a Secret Santa through This month turned out to be =Whitefeathur of her couple Reaper and Kanai.

I'll admit I've never drawn a Russian Ovcharka before, so I hope I did the breed and Reaper some proper justice! Trees/forest/snow backgrounds are also an underdeveloped area for me, and I admit I LOVE working with birch trees :3 I guess it helps having been around them a lot when I was still in Maine, which is kind of what the scene is paying homage to >_> It was also a test in quasi-speed painting, but so far I like the results. The cedars were a butt though, they went through three revisions until I found a method that felt like it worked...

Merry Christmas everyone! This frassled artist is going to unwind for a bit like this couple is doing with a thermos of cocoa/coffe/whatevs (only I won't have thermos, just a glass of water). I have a few big announcements to make as far as what will be happening for 2014 that I'll post in a journal tomorrow.
