OH NOES! T0XIC-BUTT IS DRAWING TRADITIONALLY AGAIN! HIDE YO PENCILS; HIDE YO PAPER; HIDE YO WIFES!

Damn straight. C:<

Since it was *Tavaris non-birthday, I decided to make 'em happy with a piece of art. Oh yeah, I got a scanner/printer thing from someone who didn't want it anymore. Not the best but I am glad to finally have something again. It looks a lot better in RL, but meh, enjoy.
Another piece I can add to the ever growing pile of stuff I have to send Tav!
Also, I am well aware that Tav doesn't have a long curly tail and the feathering on the legs and the anatomy is most likely not exact as well and... DAMN, ENJOY YOUR GIFT! HAPPY NON-BIRTHDAY! c:

Despite the fact I suck at traditional art and the lighting is a bit off (too strong I believe) I still actually like how it turned out. Well, for a digital guy you must admit it is not that bad.

Wow! Despite me loving your digital work to bits, you sure do have an awesome skill for traditional colouring :O

I strangely adore those yellow highlights - for some reason, they just go so fabulously with those shades of blue.

This makes me feel SO happy ;_;. And special. And happy. And all kinds of jsbgabgsg!!!!111eleven, especially after the horrendous friday I had. Did I say that it makes me feel special :heart:? Gods, you made my day, my week, my MONTH! Thank you so, so much :hug: :glomp:!!!

I love it. Looooooove! The colors, the lighting, the fur, everything. If you ever tell me again that you can't do traditional art, I have to beat you. To death. With my pencil. Seriously.

I like it when people interpret Tav their own way, and I surely don't mind the artistic freedom :D. In fact, I like the long, curly tail and the leg feathers. The first reminds me a bit of the Okami-style. I can very well live with that, lol xD.

I can't believe that you also did a background O_o. I love the stylized moon with the ornaments and the swirling. It matches Tav's design so well, everything is in curls <3. The whole artwook screams of classic fantasy and kitsch - like Rae says, I'm practically drooling over everything xD.

...The whole thing only has one, nasty side effect: I'm SO going to prod you about sending me snail mail, now :). There's a place on my wall waiting for that image!

You are the best, thank you so much :iconnewglomp:.

I am SO glad you like it. c: Especially if it made you feel better (just read your journal, I feel for ya :c).

It was one of those spontanous ideas you get and have to draw. Guess I really picked the perfect timing to have this sudden urge to make you a gift.
And yeah, for some reason I had to think about the Okami ACEOs you made when I made the sketch, hence the curly tail.

The bg HAD to be added. It took me longer than the whole coloring though. I spent hours adding masking fluid to leave out the spaces of the ornaments. But I am pretty proud of how the moon turned out. All the hard work paid off. c:

:noes: I already promised to send you a package when you moved into your flat. Never got around to do it and now I don't have the money. But maybe I can scrape anough together for a letter (the image is A4, shouldn't be too expensive).

I am very happy that it could brighten up your day a bit. That makes me happy. :hug:

I adore it. I can't really express how much <3.

Yeah, seems you felt disaster coming - your timing is perfect :'D.

I never worked with masking fluid and admittedly, I wouldn't know HOW to. Maybe I'll ask you about it one day :3.

That reminds me, did I ever give you my new address? I can't for the life of me remember if you sent me mail to here or if the last time was still when I lived in the rooming house x'D. DIN A4 letters cost 1,45€, I believe, but I haven't sent any in a while. In fact, I also haven't drawn in over a month. Artblock from hell. It's frustrating. And my kiriban-counter isn't exactly climbing up either. I was hoping to hit the 100k while still in 2012 :'D *personal goal*.

So yeah, you see there are quite a few things that stress and/or frustrate me atm, some silly, some serious, but THIS really helped and brightened up my day, just like you said :heart:.

Yes indeed, your traditional skills are very grand! C: I love how smooth it all is, and it comes together very nice.
I rather like the lighting on the front half (it gets a bit skimpy as it goes to the right); it is really bold and gives that nice warm feeling. The shading is well done too, especially on the muscles. Very good job <3
