Jake - Walking on Air

Walking on Air - Two Steps From Hell

EDIT 052314: Made the hind feet bigger, which caused me to redo those feet's shading.  Also lightened the 'old' shading layer, increased fur shading and lighting slightly,  darkened BG slightly, made watermark slightly less visible.

It's been quite a long time since I last drew Ealaain's chara. Jake sooooo I thought I'd do that. XD  This was a lot of fun to do.  Going 100% all out is a lot of fun.  Takes longer, more tedious with details, but worth it in the end.  My patience has slowly gotten better for things like this.  This is definitly one of my longer pieces. The fur was a lot of fun to do.  I'm still working on that, so hopefully I can improve on that in the future.  DracoFlameus also helped with the hands. (Thanks for keeping this lil' thing a secret, too. 8D) She's been helping me a lot with them, and I'm slowly getting better with them.  It's a goal for the summer, that's for sure.  Ealaain was talking about how Jake likes to fly in the Appalachian mountains ..Fuuu that seems fun, so I did an abstract representation using this photo bit.ly/1kQTVQD for reference.  This is also the first time drawing Jake in his new design/colors.  Ohmygerd.  I love the dark blue.  It looks great in the BG's I've done in the past and even better on a dragon.  The shading/lighting kinda made it look a little neon, so I layered it up to help negate that. But slfkdja this was alot of fun to do. 8D Hope you like it.

About 6.5 hours--longest time I think I've spent on something, at least in awhile.  SAI for everything except BG, PS for BG on Surface Pro
