It is a whippet called Harley, who likes to pose like a princess. Two fairies are also there...one by her head, the other sitting on her back, at the request of the dog's owner.

No problem, eyewoo...couldn't fit both in at full-res without having a giant picture of death, but this is pretty big:

Love it! Love the atmosphere and the background and everything. Keep up the good work!

Very nice, but there's just something a bit odd about this one. Maybe it's just be but the dog looks like it's sitting in "goo" or something. The green stuff needs to be more green perhaps, and more foliage-like? :}

Sweet work Socar. I really like the color pallet you used for this one.... Nice autumn colors, very pleasing to the eye.

Nice brush work too.

Just saw some other samples of your work great stuff. The color on this one gives it a very peaceful atmosphere, I'm lovin that tree.

In case anyone's wondering, this IS still me...I had to re-register because I couldn't access my profile to change my location, and people from Vancouver kept e-mailing me about meeting up...and I don't even live there any more.

So, anyway....

Awetopsy - Thank you! I was bearing your comments from last time in mind on this one.

Benji Schupp - Thank you...I'll try!

Sumaleth - Gah, I hadn't noticed that! Fortunately, at full-res, it does look pretty much like foliage (there are some well-defined leaves lurking in there, although it's impossible to see in the scaled-down version)...so at least the customer won't get a version that looks like goo. Thanks for pointing it out, though...I'll remember to use still more contrast next time.

HoodZ - Why, thank you!

Malachi - Thanks very much! It is getting towards autumn...I guess I am looking forward to the leaves changing colours here.

blankfrank - Thank you very much...I am flattered that you like my work and this picture!

Mmm... very easy to look at.

I hope some day to do as subtle colourwork as you, Socar. From what I've seen, I gather that you use a predefined, limited palette. I'll try it soon. Thanks for showing!
