Description
For the Fawning Contest hosted by minkin-arpg , featuring Zartan and FeatherySpirit 's Iona! They are not a couple, but they are offering as friends
Iona and Zartan just made it to the Nursery Shrine. It has been a long, long travel, and they did not make it before sunset. The stars were already out in the sky, but luckily the moons lit their path.
Iona is offering a flowercrown and necklace that she made out of purple flowers, which are her favourite kind. She hopes that the time she spent making them shows her dedication that she would put into a child's education.
Zartan took a different approach this time and went to a place with vine-like plants, where he stayed for a while until the plants grew on him. By waiting out the plant growing, he wants to show that he is willing to sacrifice his time and freedom for a child.
That being said, the fact that he had to stay in one place and move very little for quite a while has had an impact on his physical condition - it meant he could not train himself for the journey to the mountains. As a result, he is exhausted by his arrival (or were the plants just draining his life energy? We will never know, those nasty plants), and Iona has to try and cheer her friend up again.
This took quite a while, but in a way I am fond of that background! Lights, and fffff
This was great practice, I hope this turned out alright
Shhh shut up no I did not forget to add sparkles again at first shh no it's all a lie /cries

omg I love this! and the 2 shiny moonz The lighting on those spikes on the cave is really cool!
Critique?!? WHAT
no
I'm just wondering, what is the anatomy for a minkin meant to be like? I can sort of see Iona's is a bit like a canine and I don't know if that's specific to the character or not, but if not, it's not a bad thing

Vuurstern In reply to quirkyorangetiger [2015-04-25 10:57:17 +0000 UTC]
Thanks so much ^^
Yea, Iona came out a bit too canine-ish, the species itself actually has anatomy more similar to a deer or goat, so I didn't do too well there

Your Welcome!
Viewing it, it doesn't stand out that Iona's a bit caniney (if your worried) and I don't think it's a bad thing anyway

requesting critique... yknow, the only thing I've ever been able to see "wrong" in your art are minor anatomical errors, but I'm actually not spotting them in this image. I'm also unfamiliar with this species so I don't quite know what to look for. It is a beautiful image though!

Vuurstern In reply to UnintentionalFan [2015-04-25 09:28:58 +0000 UTC]
Ahh, I personally think Iona's anatomy might be leaning a bit too much towards canine-like anatomy here, but I'm not even sure Either way, thank you a lot! I'm glad you like it c:
