Contest 5 - Resort Area - Swift

For , Contest five: Resort Area, and Fen is using swift. (C'mon guys, join the group please, I want more competition!)



This. Was. Hell. First, I was struggling horribly to get a good pose, and to get Fen's paws to look the right size. Second, the background - I'm not very good at perspective and I just didn't know what the background was supposed to look like, at all. And crazy paving. WHAT THE HECK WAS I THINKING. Finally, this thing was just getting horribly laggy, and right when I was about to post this I noticed I was missing the shadow. It took ages to put in again.
I'm not sure if this is my best work or one of my worse, the bacgkround is rushed, the fur shading is bad and I really hat that tail. The water is pretty much all I like (and I pretty much done that in seconds). I almost scrapped this, but decided I'd keep it in case I couldn't do better, and I ended up with the sketch in my folder for ages. Frankly, it don't look good for all the time I spent on it (probably took about 6 - 8 hours, a lot)...

But.

I really like this nonetheless. One of my favourites.

This started out with her shooting the stars into palm trees above her, and light shining from below, but I struggled to get a good pose and I knew I'd struggle with the trees. Plus, it'd be too similar to pictures I've done before, and I wanted to try something new.



Booyah! Just noticed this is my 100th devation! Good job it's a good one rather than a scrappy sketch, huh!
