Artist Comment

*is now officially back to the i don't need a stinkin' tablet i can draw with a mouse state*
*is also finally submitting something with a real background after a long string of solid color or just crappy backgrounds*
...z.o.m.g :o

I'm still loving how easy it is to blend colors in oC without smudging (although I did smudge a bit here and there...Not much, though) I swear the novelty will never wear off. ^^'
Detailing was a pain in the ass, but at the same time, it wasn't difficult either. Just really tedious. I didn't use a scan, and didn't bother to make a pencil sketch either...

Scene is chasing Skull Kid for the second time in the Sacred Woods from Twilight Princess. Why second? PINK LIGHTING! :D

Ultimately, I'm happy with the result, and I hope you like it, too. Please feel free to critique as well. I like getting concrit, as I'm sure I missed something after staring at it so long. :)

    Oh no, OC can do that great?
    I'm loving this. The painting is nicely done with details. Everything in there looks great.

    I've been missing out on some of the art of a certain artist; you. Really, I can't believe that I've never commented on your art until now. Painted with just a mouse?! I wouldn't have guessed, just by looking at it! I love the deep blues and the mixture of forest greens and sap green; it's so atmospheric. The wolf's fur just shimmers so delightfully, and I can see you have a great sense of lighting what with that and the somewhat ominous pink light shining emitting from the mouth of the cavern, and reflecting on everything else,. The ghoulish creatures around it, combined with the jungle-meets-tunnel surroundings make it really fantasy-like. And I like how you kept the grass in the foreground blurred; adds a realistic touch. My only complain is that I really can't make out the creature sitting on the wolf.. it's confusing me a little. Then, again, I haven't got to play playstation for year let alone be knowledgeable in Zelda.. XD

    It's OpenCanvas you're using is it? I have to check up on it someday. This piece is amazing! I've got Photoshop and Artrage, and no tablet, but I don't think I could have done the wolf like you did. ^^

    Random thingy(s): I had no idea you were a girl until someone mentioned it in somewhere. I always thought you were a guy! o_0 No offence meant, really, I'm just.. surprised. Another shocker? abul's muted! :o Whaaaat?

    Anyhow, hope this comment was helpful in some way..
