I didn't want to upload this, but I like it, so I will :D

This is the top of Catherea's new page, version peacock gardens. I decided that the white background was just so annoying for me, and that for this character in particular I needed a very large text area so I could put all her images along with the text and not have to shrink them. This layout was the final result.

She didn't come out perfect, but I can't draw forward facing canine-like faces yet, so she came pretty close. And I just really didn't want to change my idea - and overall this cam out exactly how I pictured it in my head. So I'm pretty happy ^^ In my opinion the blues and greens work well together with her orange-red sari, and that's exactly what I hoped for.

Her page is almost done - just needs a little more text, 5 more little images to go with the text, and a little peacock feather divider between sections. I'm excited, I like how it's turning out.

Aww you really think so? XD I definately think I need more practice with canine facial anatomy, but thank you anyway :hug:

I'm really happy with how it's turning out, and I can't wait to upload it somewhere finally :D

That is so very pretty Hawky.

I love her face and hair, though the earings look a bit strange..like they are clipped into her hair, but still so pretty.

Your folds are amazing. I love your shading on her dress and the archway looks awesome. Teach me to draw hands? XD

I'm really looking forward to her new page.

There is a reason why her earings look like they float in space XD I just haven't gotten a chance to explain that bit yet anywhere. Ok - the way the earlings work is basically it's that circle thing on a thin chain, which happens to hang under her hair and is hooked on the piercing on her lower ear. I don't know if that makes any sense, but it's my excuse to give her earings near her face, because they look prettier :D

And I can't draw hands really XD She's lucky I didn't give her two left hands, like I tend to do since I try to use my own left hand as refferance.

Thank you! :hug:

I just noticed that I never drew the top part of the earing, the piercing on her ear. Oops XD Just pretend it's there
