Don't dream it, be itby *nekophoenix

Anthro / Traditional Media / Drawings

This was meant to be a flat colour traditional, bought by Laruefoxtail(on FA) for her friend Kitchenmanx3(also on FA)'s birthday :D! buuuut, 1. I got a little carried away and 2, I've misplaced over half of my markers, so I had to make up the purple with my pencils anyway!

So, this is Sam, the purple maine coon <3
I loove doing sunsetty/twilighty skies so much, and just thought it suited the air of the "don't dream it, be it" quote and song :3

Hope you like!

You're too kind you are! <3 Thank you so so much, it means a lot to me that my traditionals are still liked <3

I really love the shape of the hand in the tail. Its like really grabbing and curling into the fluff. I loove it.

I think its good you lost your markers, because the shading on the body with the pencils looks so gorgeous. It adds a light depth (that makes sense, shush) that you probably couldn't have gotten with markers.

*nekophoenix Feb 8, 2013 Professional General Artist

you're right, I wouldn't have had I just used markers! It did mean that this was then a bit more shaded than a flat colour commission, but I dunno, sometimes I think it's okay to go a bit further with it if the piece calls for it. I think markers would have given this a very different feel. Thankee again!

I really love this! The colors all really pop against that ( super amazingly shaped) background. Also your "full body" figures are amazing and I wish you would draw them more!

*nekophoenix Feb 2, 2013 Professional General Artist

I really do love drawing full figured ladies - I'm just rarely commissioned for them these days, and if I'm ever drawing for me, I've got the androgyny obsession stuck on Neko, so the curves have dwindled a bit! Thank you so so much for your lovely comments <3

~fala Feb 3, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Well Neko is an awesome character, so I can't blame you!

Gosh she sure is pretty!! I love her body shape. She's so round and soft looking. o uo The background is gorgeous too. I like how it's blended. It's not over blended to the point of uncanny realism, but it's blended enough to stylize the colors.

I find that stylized blending look suits these dreamy sky feeling pictures.

Also those headphones are genius idea haha. I always love how anthro artists re-design everyday objects to suit anthros. It's probably my favorite thing about anthro art. XD

*nekophoenix Feb 2, 2013 Professional General Artist

Thank you so much!! <3 You always leave the most thoughtful comments and I really appreciate it

Haha, the over the ear hook headphones are actually inspired by a pair I had as a teenager which I loved :3
