Omg it's finally done. I welcome Nebulaxy to my gallery! Zee pretty Reask babs.
This is been my break from commissions and trades for a few days. It was quite challenging in a lot of ways and I nearly threw in the towel before even starting the character due to the snow. I really need to work on it I think. I can paint snow on a small scale but nothing quite at this scale. The original file of this was 3000x6000 px so you can imagine the pain.
But like most of my artworks I drew the background before shading and in this case I hadn't linearted or colour the character either. But I found a pose I like on the internet of a tiger and then I spent about 6hrs drawing the bones for the character since the Reask species are bones and floof. My drawing them i mean sketching them.. took me 6hrs to sektch the bones before linearting them and then took me about 5hrs to lineart them.
I can't remember how this idea came to mind but I was in a stream with Elkaii and she was drawing Nebu her reask and another reask dancing or something? and it then got me thinking about my character and her environment and how she lives around the aurora australis which sparked this idea that as well as guarding the night under those lights, she instead does a sort of Ribbon Dance with the northern lights guiding them across the mountains and sky as she bounces between mountains. Reasks as a species are huge, so it's quite possible for them to jump between mountains like that.
Anywho, I thought it was a nice idea and shows an example of her fun loving side since that's a good portrayal of the character.
I did use brushes for this of course XD but although I've named them with the dA accounts of the owners I used so many I can't remember which ones I used because I made it over 3 days XD
Also side note, kinda reminds me of nyan Nebu XD rainbow farts haha!

I absolutely love this piece. I love the fact that the contrast from dark to light is minor, but one isn't overpowering the other, which is something a lot of artists, including myself, have a bit of difficulty with.
The Aurora in the back is drawn quite beautifully, and the sky is done exceptionally well. My only complaint would be that the starts don't seem quite bright enough, however it's probably for the best since it could have the possibility to take focus away from the rest of the image.
I love the texture and shading of the fur and the contrast from the fur, to the bones, to the background itself. It's all incredibly well put together.
Keep up the good work, friend! : D

Thank you so much for taking the time to critique!
Ooh I hadn't considered how drastic the level of contrast was before. I'm glad you think so
I completely agree with that complaint as well. I was looking at this piece and comparing it to AT-Savior of Souls which is my most recent one and I see a massive different in how the stars are drawn. If i were to draw it now I'd make the sky more of a statement so it keeps with the cold climate, less sky pollution and Auroras.
Thank you The contrast would mainly be down to the characters colours haha
Thank you! I shall try

Awesome pose and background! I can't imagine how long it took to detail all the bones haha :'P Also, love how the aurora looks like it's following her across the mountains.
