First of all; I spent a lot of time on this. How can you tell? Two things:
fur is furry. Oh my gosh, imagine that. I normally make it look like blurry plastic. It took a lot of effort, and Tamirae looked like she was covered in spiderwebs and pinstripes (not simultaneously) much of the time. But I decided, eventually, to keep it.
They are not nowhere. Another thing that's oh-so-surprising. They are somewhere. That is, they have a background. I didn't like trying to cut through part of Escuro's tail, and trying to make it look like Tams was sitting in snow as well- but I kept that. Then there's the fact it's snowing.
I have no program better than Pixia, which I'm fine with for coloring, but not fond of for effects. To make me feel better, I have uploaded a furless and backgroundless version into my scraps. Found here.
Other reasons this took so long, I used many layers- compared to my usual one-for-all-coloring. It's how Esc's stripes turned out a little better than normal, actually. And why their fur isn't as bad as it could be. Aside from layers, I also used the smudge tool to help with the background. Smudge is great, and I'm mostly used blur and was pleased to find it worked alright.
The snowflakes are actually circling them. It may just be hard to tell.
I'm aware that Esc is not wearing his bandana's, and Tams has neither her pencil nor backpack. I don't care.
I'm uploading this because I made a deal with Sae. I know it includes a charrie of my own, but hey. I drew this quite some time ago, actually. I've also decided Tams is my favorite of my characters, because she's so easy to draw ;o; I don't know what it is about her, but she is.
No, I did not get my username from Tams. Tams got her name from another character I had a long time ago, as did I. *mumble*
These are not meant to be wockies still, though they do originate from them and I can't help that.
D'awww, that's positively adorable! Even the snowflakes have much detail to them. I'd like you to know both of them do look so much more convincing and real now they have furry fur Please keep up your hard work! You're an inspiration for everybody! ^^
WOW Tam! Your colouring skills have just improved so GOOD! The fur, it looks so realistic and the colours are just gorgeous...brilliant work my friend! =3
Ooh, really, really nice. You can easily tell that you spent a long time on this. Everything is just so perfect! I love the soft expression of their eyes. heart:
