BACKGROUNDS ARE SO HARD!!!!!

SO this is the final outcome of a sketch I did… wow last summer! I have a love/hate relationship with this image it’s not even close to what I saw in my head when I set out to make this! However it’s my first background so I am proud that I finished it. AND it’s Sesshoumaru!!!! lol I don’t even like Sesshoumaru that much I think he’s an interesting character but…. He doesn’t have puppy ears! :shrug:

Anyway I learned soooo much in the creation of this image and I think that’s what it’s all about you know? Trying to make each image a little better then the last one you did. Seeing your mistakes and trying to grow from it.

Enough chatter! This image is obviously my very late dedication to:

Inuyasha
Kaze – “Wind”
Chapter 374, [link]

Yet another chapter that would for me most likely be as of yet unread if it wasn’t for ear-tweak. [link]

This image is totally dedicated to two very close friends of mine whom in my opinion is the best photographer on DA, and . These are two of my biggest cheerleaders in encouraging me to pursue my art and I am eternally grateful to them. Their constant support and wonderful critiques have helped me really improve my art and their friendship is invaluable to me! They even listened to me while I griped and complained about the insane amount of details on Sesshoumaru’s clothing and armor. Their suggestion to my complaints? If I didn’t want to draw Sesshoumaru detailed outfit maybe I should just remove the offending clothing…………… they offered to do it for me………. With their teeth! I luff you guys! XDDDDDD

Because he is "such a mancakes" and you really can't see the detail in this piccy here is a closer shot of the Smexxshoumaru! [link]

That wind was such a pain to do I am still not completely happy wihtI redid it sooooooooooooooooo many times but I am really glad someone likes it! And the flowers spilling over the border was a complete accident and I kinda liked how it looked so I left it. :D

Heh I feel like I totally cheated on those flowers cause if you look closely you notice that I just made four flowers made them each into a brush and then just went nuts with the brushes! I would have gone really nuts if I had to draw them each individually. And with Sesshoumaru that exactly what I did I wanted to shade him in a way that was remanisant of cell shadeing but softer to fit with the painted look of the rest of the image.

Thanks so much I am totally blown away by the reaction I got to this image!
