Description Have I been watching too much Game of Thrones?


hehe, a finally finished commission for ! I was dedicated to finish it by the end of the year, and somehow I did it. 10 points to Remydor o/ I'm pretty satisfied with the outcome. There are some things that could use work, but overall, not too shabby. :3


Took a buttload of time. I took quite a few progress pics in hopes of making a tutorial/walkthrough, though I kinda forgot to take progress pics after finishing Kayru. *whoops*. Oh well, an assload of pictures is always nice Here's a version without the backgroundΒ sta.sh/01hovf2if8c3


Hope you like it, Kayru!


Kayru (C) *Kayru-Kitsune

ooo so stylish and pretty color shades. I love monochrome stuff almost as much as I love colorful stuff and this year I hope to work with it a bit too!

Thanks! You should totes work with monochrome! It's really fun, and harder than in color, imo, so quite a challenge

SQUEEEEEE
She looks so gorgeous! :3 I can't believe I doubted a nearly-greyscale watercolor could look so good |D (and I kinda feel bad that it took a buttload of time but...)

I'm glad you like it : D I thought adding blues to those gray shades would give it what it needs. Blue was on my mind the whole time I was thinking about this before I was coloring, haha. It took quite a few hours more than I thought it would, but I do whatever I need to do to make it look good \o/ I don't think we spoke about shipping? Would you like this sent to you? I'd prefer so since I don't want to risk it getting crushed in my luggage on the way home. :<

Omfg, this is so beautiful! Wow, I LOVE how subtle the colors are yet how well they blend together and lend to a certain serenity in this piece. Your fur detailing is also just stunning not to mention that beautiful watercolor-y breath/background! GAH! Your art is so amazing *v*

Pshhh you're beautiful ;3;


It's hard to believe that less than a year or two ago, watercolors were my complete enemy |D Now I love them, haha. I don't even know how I paint, I just...do :'D If I can repeat how I did that fur on the tail it'll be a miracle *sob*

And now my watch begins...


*ahem*


This is utterly stunning - one of my favourite pieces from you so far, actually!

The detail in the fur is gorgeous, and the colouring is all so soft, subtle and calming in tone, yet still has enough contrast to make an impact and show volume and shape. I love how soft and light the shadows in the tail and hindlimb fur are, really wonderful drawing!
