Artist's Comments

Edit: now available as a print! <3

...and all I could find was the day.

My character Hati, named after the Norse mythological wolf who chases the moon in an attempt to eat it. My Hati, who plays a small role in my novel Finch, is not trying to eat the moon |D, but she is chasing what she cannot have--metaphorically, the moon in the day (let's not tell her that sometimes the moon is visible during the day =P).

Etc. tl;dr

I really should draw her more--I think this is the first time I've uploaded her to dA? And her colors are still a work in progress |D...but she'll always be naturally colored, at least, because.....umm....I'm not a fan of the pink wolves that dA's pretty much filled with |D. I hope I don't offend anyone with that.

This was a speed paint from a photo I took on a recent trip to California. And then I added Hati to it...and it's meant to be unrefined =P. I should've used references for Hati, though....
I flipped it horizontally at the end because it read better O:.

Eh, that character's alright... but I think it would have looked better if you'd colored him like this... [link]

Hahahah. XD No, I really REALLY love this character's design and colors!! The markings go so well on that color. He looks very natural, like he could come out of a Native American folk legend. :) I love the mixture of the tan grass with the green grass! Very gorgeous picture!! ^_____^

That's an impressive background :D It all looks like a big ol' swamp, really, but I'm down with bogs, so it's good yo. On a more serious note, great job incorporating that haze into the picture! It's just neat how there isn't an exact horizon, but the way you laid the picture out has a sense of perspective :o

And it's cool how it looks like Hati has her own night sky tattooed on her back -- props for the mythology cue. Overall, this is very well done! :3

Don't try to keep thinking pessimistic thoughts. You will run out.

Avatar by =Foxchibi. She's pretty cool like that.

Nice guess--I actually did take the photo at a swamp XD! Or as it called itself, "A Nature Walk Through the Marshlands" ...aka a swamp =P.

And aww, thanks for the comment on the perspective--I'm glad you felt that worked out :3. And :nod: she must've paid a lot for it. Must've been rather painful too. Poor Hati.
:heart:

i think everything came together well; i like the way the horizon fades in the mist/fog. poor ol' hati will have to get her paws cleaned after that marsh :'(

She has gorgeous coloration. I love the soft surreal feeling created by the mistyness of the painting.

You wouldnt happen to know anyone who would collab with me and digitally color my comic would you?
