Well, this took me days to create, but YAY its done!

As you can see, I made this dog as a wolf-like akita. Gaomon (one of my favorite Digimon) is based on an akita dog and that inspired me to draw one. They're cute and they have funny tails too. :3

The big challenge of this deviation was the background, and man, I had to learn it on my own. Gathered tutorials and downloadable brushes for GIMP and, wow! Pretty nice results. I got inspiration from my near by beach next to the Pacific Ocean, which I have lived next to for my entire life. Its really nice to swim and surf in summer, but in winter, not so nice.

I guess I'm going a bit beyond my novice art skills, so I'll stick to character drawings for a while. But I hope you like my work. Comment, favorite, watch, suggest, whatever, any of that stuff would be helpful! :D
