OMG, MY EYES, my eyes, they burrrrnnn...
10 x 13 color pencil
When I first drew the graphite concept piece, I didn't think I'd have the nerve to actually do it in color, because it would take forever. Well I finally attacked it, doing little bits at a time so it didn't seem so bad. Got a bit frisky with the detail, definitely more than I originally planned. She is going to get still more shading but not till the BG is done.
Now I gotta do the back ground. It won't be quit as detailed or colorful but will be more technical as I will be doing some linear perspective and playing with lighting.
I shot this with a camera so it is somewhat blurry and some of the shading is reflecting light. I won't post this again till it is complete and professionally scanned.
I definitely made mistakes and overworked some areas and wish I had some do overs.
****Critique welcome! Let me know if you see something I missed or that could be improved upon, I am rather blind to the whole thing by now.****
...........they burrrn!!!

Thank you, I love doing fur detail.
I see you went to the con in Ohio, I am going to have this in the art show at AC in Pittsburg. That was my first con(2010) and one month earlier, I had never heard of a furry convention. OMG!!
Go to that one if possible, even for a day. I bet they will come close to 6000 attendees this year!

Nothing looks overworked to me! I hate you! You do such amazing colored pencil work. I loev all the details and the paterns and details in this one are already amazing..can't wait to see what you do with the feathers!

I was going to do realistic feathers in the BG till you showed me those doors. Awesome! That sent me in a different direction and I started looking at carvings. Saw a lot of nice marble work and decided to try to simulate marble with piercings(stylized feathers) and inlay or stain glass inserts. I will try to use a one point linear perspective which I haven't used in a long time, to give it some depth. That is also a good area to play with more shadow and lighting.

Your rendering of the fur, particularly the neck, is wonderful. Definitely a piece I'd like to see in person.
