Description

Um where to start...?

Well this is a piece I did around two months ago actually, and was intended to be my thankyou picture to some very special people to me, but I never did like how it came out, for several reasons. However :iconberenfox: rummaged through my sketchbook while I was in Germany and saw it anyway, so I thought it was only fair everyone else got to see it too, no matter how I personally felt about it, Besides, its the thought that counts right?

Now on to my original intention- I'm grateful for all critique given, and I have many wonderful conversations with people here on dA, but these people in particular have been so wonderful to me and have helped me improve in too many ways to count. So this is my thanks to all of you-

Beren, you are my oldest friend here on dA and have become one of the closest people to me. You have encouraged me in my art, helped me through hard times, provided me with an ear to talk to or a shoulder to cry on, and you even gave me a place to stay and and was an excellent tour guide while I was in Germany. I can never thankyou enough, and I cannot wait to come visit you again <3

Myuna, you have almost a magical ability to text me when I'm down and instantly make me smile. You are so sweet and inspiring, my conversations with you are just great! Thankyou for all your kind words, stay how you are forever :) Now just come over to England finally will you?! XD

Celtiq, thankyou for ALL your help in helping me to improve my art, English isn't your first language yet you write such long paragraphs critiquing my artwork, and I must thank you again for our awesome Omni picture we now all use for our webcam, I truly still love it <33 Thanks for being a wonderful friend, I hope to meet you at some point in the future also!

Cursico, oh Cursico, what would my life be without you? XD A little more sane to be sure! You like Beren have known me for most of my two years here, and over that time I have just had the craziest of conversations haha! But you comment on most of my pictures, aren't afraid to tell me my flaws (a quality which I value dearly) and was instigator of our little omni group XD I will somehow steal you from university and attend some kind of convention with you sometime, we just have to reach some kind of middle ground in interests XD

And lastly but not least- Hanna. I cannot express how much I enjoy our cnversations, my only regret is that they become so long that when I reach a busy period i have neither the time or the energy to answer you! But you give me lots of food for thought, you point out things in my work that no one else has ever mentioned and have given me tips that have greatly improved my work. Your support for my characters and story are of great value to me and I can only hope that I give a fraction of that back when I'm reviewing your work. And also- thanks for introducing me to 'The lost world' I really enjoy the character's interactions with one another,and will be invaluable to me when I come to creating and developing my own <3


And all of you are wonderful brilliant artists in your own right, and I have no idea how I became so lucky to make such fantastic friends <33 So finally a big thankyou to you all!

Characters featured from left to right:

Beren - :iconberenfox:
Tatou (squishing Beren)- :iconmyuna:
Celtiq- :iconceltiq:
Hewitt- :iconhan-wik:
Songs-me
Steven-:iconcursico:

Explanation on whats happening in the picture- Unfortunately group pictures more than three are a bit of an issue for me, my brain seems to get confused by them, so I broke it off so there are two different scenes. Beren is being tormented by his girlfriend and Celtiq, perhaps the 'Pink with fluffy cuteness' comment wouldn't be amiss here? XD The group with me cursico and han-wik was more complex to do, since there was a stoat a fox and a squibler to interact, and I'm not sure the two of you have even met. So I went with the question- what if the characters had met eachother? Well Hewitt the stoat herds and trades away rabbits for profit, and so he'd be pretty mad if say a certain omniscient fox stole one. Songs must have been with Steve at the time, and I'm not sure how much longer he will let her ride his back while he has an angry stoat clinging to his tail XD

Oh, and I STILL HAVEN'T WRITTEN A PROPER COMMENT ON THIS PIECE!

Forgive moi! (I'll pay it back with countless hugs on new year's eve, heh.)

All I can is: GOODNESS; I LOVE THIS!

:heart::heart::heart:

Really, this is such a fine picture, the technique is superb, the expressions of the characters, everything!

:hug:

Awww. And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the part with me and Daniel, maybe because it's so realistic, heh. ;)


Thank you so much, for this wonderful gift and generally for being such a dear friend.

:heart:


Ohhh, and I cannot wait for December! 8D
