Full illustration commission done for Smokepaw and Utunu! Utunu (African Wild Dog) has traveled a long way from Africa to meet with his long time friend Smokepaw (Wolf) in the Rocky Mountains to trade a few special items. The day is crisp and clear, as autumn is setting in with turning aspens bright among the pine covered slopes. Just like Colorado is right now in fact! I used my own photographs from hikes in the past as reference for this setting. I also made a nice little still life with my own fox and springbok pelts for the small pile of traded items in the foreground. It's not often I get to paint my home turf for a commission, the rockies are so gorgeous this time of year.

Your attention to detail is admirable <3 And no wonder it looks so believable, since you could draw inspiration from around you c:

Aaaaaahhhh that background is amazing ;D; your backgrounds always amaze and inspire me. You fit in so much detail, your sense of depth is amazing, and you always do so many different kinds of outdoor settings. Different trees, different shapes of landcape, different plants! It's amazing and beautiful and I just really really love the amount of detail and effort that goes into every one of your pieces <3333

*hugsqueeze* Thank you so much! I really love painting backgrounds, they're so much fun to explore different textures and plant life. =D

they really are fun and you remind me that there's different kinds of trees and plants around and landscapes and that I probably shouldn't just draw the same old boring things every image X3 so thankyou :3 *huggles*
