Artist's Comments

Gah, talk about a killer deadline! X_x

Comission done for a czech furry, Vlk00, for his ČesFur conbadge. He was thrilled. I'm kinda surprised. I had to question him for the details (colors/character/favourite season...), since he's not really the sharing type when it comes to asking for art.

I had about six hours to complete this. With Vista sabotages, I managed to catch the time at the last second possible (I suppose it would take about three hours on a normal PC, since most of the time was spent waiting for the blur tool to take effect. Grah.

I know the fur's a mess, but I didn't have time for playing around with it (for it took FOREVER to paint one fur patch). Luckily, it won't be visible on 9,5 x 9,5 cm print.

I remembered what you said on your P4 picture about your art with few colour or something,but in my opinion,this"less-colored"picture is in another style.for example in this picture,the little change of color in the background is amazing.:D

Tak to už se mám čím chlubit.

Thank you. Even though I think it could still use a bit of softening :)

What I meant was that my notebook is not able to cope with large Photoshop files (and the equation more color = more megabytes is kinda cruel at that). Painting this was a pain in the neck, since it took AGES (quite literally) just to SAVE the bloody thing. But autumn should be colorful :D

Thank you, I'm very happy you like it.
By the way, I should get my PC back soon, together with the progresswork of your trade. It's mostly done, so it could get posted soon :)

Yeah,autumn should be colorful with its blue sky and color yellowish leaves,but anyway you've done a master pice in such situation you are in now.

Ahhh,I'd like to know about it,and maybe in the future,when you're not too busy,I may ask you trade for a 2nd time,and that would not be a portrait thing I promise.Your idea is also brilliant.^^
