The arm behind the horse's head seems a bit odd, but in general I like it a lot. Lighting is just right for the mood.
Going for a chiaroscuro, well done.

Wow, this is brilliant! Really captures the weight on the character's shoulders. You can feel it.

Gah, there's always something that I don't see at the time. Now that you point it out, I see it plain as day. Fortunately digital makes it an easy fix (if I was doing watercolors like I normally do, I'd just have to deal with bad anatomy, like always). Thanks for the heads up!
There's a million tweaks I could do, and likely will do- no piece of art is ever truly finished. Thank you everyone for the kind words!

I'm so glad you finished it Fury! It looks great. I love the mood conveyed.
Now you just have to do other characters, one year for each piece

You're killing me.
In all honesty, once the right pose was settled on, this took perhaps a week.

Fantastic work! I don't know if I've had a chance to roleplay with Maximilian (probably not if he's not at least a year old), but the image captures the character in a very deep and profound way!

I already told you how much I love it. I'll take this opportunity to admire the beard one more time, knowing how you did that part <3

Ok, so... it's been ages since I've posted anything. It's... been ages since I've actually done any art (except this past December, under duress, so I don't really call it art at that point.)
I had an idea after seeing these little... I dunno twig fairies, or something, on Pinterest. It gave me an idea for little... forest spirits, I suppose. So I sat down with a sketchbook and imagined what happened if a golden lion tamarin monkey, my dopey cat, and a potted plant all had a night of really bad decisions. Apparently, judging by what came off the pencil, what would happen would be the stuff of nightmares. BUT I PERSISTED, because surely this idea had merit? Maybe?
Anyway, I pulled out the watercolors the next day, and gave it another go. I think the little critter turned out kind of cute this time around.
This is about midway through the process:
And this is the little guy finished:
Watercolors and Derwent Inktense colored pencils on Strathmore 400 Series coldpress paper

This is only more evidence that you should definitely NOT throw away your art supplies! I highly admire and envy your great proficiency with traditional media (and the lack of a need for CTRL+Z). I wouldn't even know where to start trying to do something like this.
So many kudos!

Oh! I like this! I got myself a big box of paint/crayons/pencils etc not too long ago...
This actually gives me an idea to do for easter with spring colors! Easterbunny/furry/critter mix or so

I used to send my grandma a card with these kind of creatures. Time to call back an old tradition!
Ty for reminding me and well done once again!

Really interesting Fury! It looks like something that could be a not-so-benevolent spirit that lures in the unwary. It's face and tail showing it looks cute, but the body and limbs are dark and foreboding... A protector of the forest able to draw in poachers, loggers, what have you and ensure they do not continue harming the flora and fauna.
Great looking art!
