Artist's Comments

Entitled: Companionship <^_^>

This is my submission entry to SimbaGirl’s competition, [link]. Her theme “What does it mean to love” was an excellent theme, very deep and hard to depict. I think my choice of visuals, background composition and character placement adds to its meaning. I think the choice of characters was essential for the overall message.

I tried a new method for creating the rocks and the waterfall, basically everything including the plants. I used a color combination and a smudging tool to get the effect of the rocks and the magical lifelike effect of the steam and waterfall. I also included a particle effect to all of the rocks to improve their lifelikeness.

I sincerely hope SimbaGirl like it! I thoroughly enjoyed working on it. To be quiet honest this piece has stretched me to the next level of my art. “I hope =^_^=” I spent all night last night trying to finish it. Have not done an all night-err in a while.

I so pleased with the result and hope all of you furrys enjoy it as much as I do. Special thanks to WolfHaku, [link] for letting me use her character. I greatly appreciate it and she draws beautifully.

Grrr LeoRa

Companionship is a beautiful thing! Both in friendship and relationship. :)

It is a nicely-done piece. Cool effects and everything! The stage you've created for them seems to be a peaceful one. Not bad at all!

Thanks again for entering! :heart:~

hiya. just found your artwork! BEAUTIFUL! im gonna try to give good and bad so you can become an een better artist! ok pro: the background is STUNNING. i thought you had taken a photo and put the characters on top! it is amazing, and the smudging is a great effect! totally breathtaking con: not really what i would call a CON, just something that could improve th pic. i think that if the chars ( whch poses are great btw) had more shading and a smudged " fur like" effect to make them look moore realistic the picture would be amazing. they are really well drawn, but stand out a bit. i really think you capturd the concept of the contest though, and im sure Simba Girl will love it!good luck! Wow, that was a long comment!
