I started this when my dog got sick, and after he passed on I didnt want to finish it... but then I did. I kind of like it too... been a while since Ive done something in pencil that I thought was decent enough to show off.
So... mechanical pencil, colored pencil, acrylic paints. I was going to do something different with the stuff leaking from her pendant, but then I got lazy. Not too sure if I like that part or not...
A wonderful piece, Morganne! I'm glad you finished it, and I'm sorry about your dog. I still vividly remember my first dog's last day when I was six. Actually, I'd like to not think about that any more right now.
The hair is brilliant. Just bloody brilliant. I love the art neuveaux (Did I spell that right?) feeling of it. The rest of the linework and the subtle shading is also top notch. The only things I can think of to give any real critique on, and this is only because I took your "Critique Encouraged" to heart and studied the picture closely, are the thumb,which looks a little stunted, the leaky stuff, which does look a bit lazy compared to your regular work, and the bits where the colouring hasn't filled in properly over the pencil lines. This is all mostly severe nit-picking, though.
I know this was during the summer, but I'm really sorry about your dog. That being said, I think you did a gorgeous job on the picture - the shading is cleanly and beautifully done.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
