Description HHHHHHHHH
Drawing full art with the Bien is good.
This was based on a dream I had about two days ago, where I was on vacation in someplace that looked like Switzerland or Austria. And the dream starts with me running up and down the snowy hills, a large open place of hills that are all covered in snow. There are trees in the distance, but the open space is huge. And I just remember running there and feeling so happy and euphoric even, it was a great feeling. I could run effortlessly and without being tired, I could make cool sliding moves, I was going super fast, it was awesome.
The rest of the dream was me going skiing and sleighing with my family, but that first part of the dream was my favourite for sure. I love it when dreams let you do these fun things that you wouldn't be able to do in real life (not the exact same way, I mean)
And I have been stressed a lot with exams lately (the one of today I sadly did not pass and I was so stressed for it in the past days) so consider this a breather and a little treat to myself

I used references for this! One of a running cat to give me an idea of how I should draw the pose:
Siamese cat running by Warren Photographic Β (the first one is the one I looked at)
And one for the background, to see how the shadows and light worked there and to give me an idea of what colours I should use:
Snowy hills by Sami/blaahhi on Flickr
Was some really good practice! Obviously not perfect yet, but it was good to learn

I had a lot of fun drawing it, and I hope you like it!

Yes I believe in the snow fields of this dream there were random Tokotas designs for sale, it was odd and they were just standing around with a price above their heads

Vuurstern In reply to WanderlustWings [2016-08-27 06:24:00 +0000 UTC]

I would have, if not for the fact that
1) I don't own any Tokotas and would probably get in trouble for drawing random ones
2) it would take away the focus of the art piece and turn it into a non-serious/shitpost art piece, and I wanted to keep this focused on how nice the dream was and how I felt rather than make it a joke

UHHH WOW EXCUSE ME?

Now you really asked for it and I'm going to tell you just how wrong you are
Your backgrounds? Are amazing? I LOVE your use of colour, I am rarely ever satisfied with the colours I pick for my own work but lOOK AT YOURS WOW PRETTY VIBRANT COLOURS THAT LOOK JUST RIGHTΒ  Β 
The overall mood is A+, the lighting is great (look at that use of light rays in the forest pictures) and your sense of detail is spot on. Like, there are so many detail elements in your art? I find it hard to do that correctly in mine, and then you just go ahead and do it wOW. You also do a great job at placing your characters in them!
Overall I rate your backgrounds 20/10, a perfect score, you may proceed to the next round

Don't fight me on this

OMG I LITERALLY JUST CRIED, I KID YOU NOT I CRIED WITH LAUGHTER WTF. MY FIANCE EVEN GOT WORRIED AND ASKED ME IF I WAS OKAY.
Dude like... I don't actually have words... Like... Wow...
Ahem, but I will fight you on this!
//ding ding// ROUND TWO!

Perfect examples of colour. Also effort AND detail to actually draw each blade of grass (I have not got the patience for that, no way)


Perfect example of lighting and character positioning!


OMG ANGLES AND PERSPECTIVE! (I never do that, it's always just head on)


Those rocks and mountains though, wtf how do you draw them!? (I have to cover mine with moss and grass to hide the mistakes)


Detail/lighting/colour/positioning/mood/perspective/determination. Honey, you've got it down! 500/10 YOU WIN!
What you gonna do about it? c;<

Omg, it was not my intention to make anyone cry Your poor fiancΓ©, omg

OKAY BUT....
I really like those black edges you add, they give a really nice effect? It's something I should try in my own art sometime to add that chique effect :U
And your details, and the way you lineart your characters, I love people who can do thin linearts, longingly admires, one day
You can draw rocks just fine, I SEE NO MISTAKES THERE
And I mean
you can make cool stuff like this?

Also you can draw anthros, much envy, very jealous

AND MORE COOL STUFF

This ups your score to 1,000/10, truly amazing, wHOA

You do realise we have both entered a battle that cannot be won, right? We are our own worst critiques after all haha.

Well look at these;

Mmm... Those paws, that front and hind leg anatomy (Okay just how?)


Umm I'm sorry what was that you were saying about anthro's? I see only skill here.


Also, you can draw hoofed animals... So unfair.


So bleh! Your score is now 2000,0000,0000,0000,0000/10
YOU WIN NO MORE ROUNDS! TAKE YOUR TROPHY AND BE HAPPY >CΒ

OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE!? I've caused a war ;n; I'm a pacifist wtf happened to my morals?

Psssh if you look at Angel-Deer-Cake you'll notice the back leg is waaaaayyyyy out of proportion and that silly little flat picture took me like 5 hours to draw ;n;
And my anthro's legs are waaaayyyyyy to big in proportion to their body Β mass.Β And those headshots make me cringe so hard.

Ooh look proportions, beautiful detailed shading, flow, expressions and you're able to incorporate TWO characters into a picture perfectly. (unlike my failed latest attempt that looked god aweful so don't even bother linking me that one haha >3)Β 

5 talents in just one picture (and those are only the ones I listed coz theres way more) I think I win >:-D

//throws trophy out of the ring// HAH NOW NO ONE GETS IT! But you still win by 9999999,999999999,9999999999,99999999999 + infinite points.

Wow, shame on you for breaking your morals
That happens to like, half of my art, in fact, I almost had the leg of Bienie on this one go terribly out of proportion
Your anthros are A+ and I will not believe otherwise

WELL ACTUALLY I'LL LINK IT ANYWAY, DON'T MIND IF I DO

What I like about this is
- At least you don't cover 50+% of one of the character's body by another character
- Like seriously I always do that what is up with that
- Yo Bienie I actually wanted a picture with two characters, not one and a half
- Also the poses here are pretty nice, mine don't even make sENSE I bet that's not how a canine runs

"I think I win" yea you do, you just won because your art is best I am glad you accept this
Angel Cake and her fabulous hair will second this message

(No but really how do you draw hair looking good like this)

INFINITE ISN'T A NUMBER, I HAVE BEEN DISQUALIFIED, YOU WIN BY DEFAULT, CONGRATS
