CSS--The Lovely Lockett by Swandog

CSS--The Lovely Lockett

Swandog

This was my CSS (Cervine Secret Santa) entry, for the holiday drawing exchange in the the TheDivineCervine group on DA. Those of us participating in that round all submitted our names, and were each paired up with another person at random. The char chosen for me to draw was Luckie's lovely doe, "Lockett", which has vines around her neck, a feathered tail, wrappings on her forelegs, and stripes on her back: http://1luckiesta.deviantart.com/art/Lockett-II-ID-251698828 ...I was originally just going to do a sketch, but as usual, I got a bit carried away, so I inked it, and then added a bit of muted color with these stock textures set to 50% opacity: http://tigers-stock.deviantart.com/art/041-Pinkish-163022448, http://tigers-stock.deviantart.com/art/087-Green-Tea-171522358, http://tigers-stock.deviantart.com/art/065-Manilla-167245353, http://tigers-stock.deviantart.com/art/053-Roman-165490487, http://tigers-stock.deviantart.com/art/102-Away-And-Away-Again-177880672, http://tigers-stock.deviantart.com/art/282-Hastings-217626808 and http://shadymedusa-stock.deviantart.com/art/text-283-286-111560044 Her head was referenced from here: http://chuckrondeau.deviantart.com/art/It-s-our-little-secret-250860849 and her body from several photos of sleeping does. I also stylized her leg wrappings to fit in more with the overall design. :)

    This one is so immensely beautiful, in every possible way! I love everything about it. The hooves are so beautiful, and I love the way you have drawn the fur. The face, and the expression is so calm and sweet. Actually, looking at this picture brings tears to my eyes... and that is when I know a piece of art is good! :)

    Every vine, feather, curl and fur make this a most beautiful piece of art! <3

    This is beautiful! I love all the detail in the fur and how it looks so thick, and the stripes on her back are done really subtly which is brilliant, I also think that the way you added her name into the vines is ingenious, I didn't see it there until I looked again!
