My part of the exchange for my awesome friend, *Moondance-Wolf of her equally awesome character, Queen Sidra! My words: Lying, calm

Colors got messed up, scanner is a real arse when it comes to blue and purple :(
Done in color pencils, ballpoint pen and various shiny gelpens. This is the first time I've even touched art since the end of March, and I honestly feel a bit out of practice! D'x This piece was a bit like art-therapy for me, it feels awesome to be finally out of exams till May! But on the other hand, it was constant fighting with this unfamiliar medium, though I have mixed feelings about the result, I hope you'll like it Moondance!

Color pencils are really hard for me because I'm used to the smooth, easy blending paints provide? Any help, advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Thanks! The colors were quite fun to work with, blue and brown is some of my favorite color combinations!

I want a orbball thingy to play with! Where's mine?
But she seriously looks just so happy and content. Nicely done Syph. Although I really don't think that your other image is a fail, I think that it looks like it has some serious potential

*throws orbball at doodles* CATCH 8D
Thanks Ama! I'm really glad you like it!
Well it's more like I screwed up the colors of the sunset, then tried to fix it by layering salt over it (who knows what I was thinking..) and somehow the salt refuses to come off without ripping the paper now <_<"

*orbball lands on face* I never was any good at catching
Aww man. But it can still be a great painting even with the salt stuck there. It adds texture! Or at least thats what I tell myself, lots of my pictures are full of salt that won't come off :\

Thanks!! I'm glad you like it! <33
The pose was actually a little hard to work out, because I can never get claws right and fit everything into one dinky little canvas >_<
Thanks again Venom!!
