Something new for me, the candles turned out to be tougher than I suspected, but I think they look good

Cudnie jest oświetlona Musze też pochwalić jej grzywę, prezentuje się ślicznie ! Ładnie jej spływa z karku. Fajnie wygląda tło, doczytałam o co z nim chodzi i myślę, że dobrze sobie poradziłaś z sytuacja.

Czasem mi siedzi obrazek przez 2 dni z takim "hmm muszę napisać coś ambitnego" xD ale zazwyczaj wygrywam i coś tam napiszę

My pleasure. She looks like someone who would love to talk to princess Luna about her beautiful stars.

Poor little Starry Night… You made her sadness stand out beautifully as she looks longingly at the heavens even as she's slumped on her cushion. It makes me wonder why she's not up in the sky, especially considering her cutie mark (and cute ear stud ). Is she sick or injured, or is she depressed about some horrible event – or just suffering depression itself? Her eye alone brings on some heartache, and seeing her defeated body language brings that home.

Still though, she looks amazing with great form and definition, all brought out by the hue of starlight and the intense glow of the candles. The starry if hazy sky and effect of the glass works very nicely too. Are those actual constellations and asterisms? (Even though I follow some astronomy sites it'd still take me an hour to figure it out myself.) Melting wax effect and color-constancy to make them burn brighter came out very nicely. Also, though it's a small thing, I really like that you made the pattern on the cushion conform to its shape, which I'm sure was somewhat painstaking with the bumps and folds as she puts a little extra weight on her forelegs to tilt her head up more.


You did an awesome job on her, the scene, and such a touching mood. It makes me really want to go sit with her, even if off by myself and not saying a word, so that at least she'd know she's not along. Thanks to you and Dusty-Onyx for sharing this deep moment with us.

Aww, thanks a lot for taking the time to type that out. And the time to look closely at the painting, too patterning the cushion was easy, but mostly because it's just a simple checkered pattern, it would probably be a chore with anything more complex. Also the constellations are a mix of made up ones and ones that are inspired by real ones (essentially actual constellations, but drawn by hand, so they're not very precise)

As in the picture, she's counting the days since her dad passed away. For her imagination, she's thinking that which star or constellation that her dad has gone to, she'll draw it down on her bedroom wall. She'll never know that she is sick or depressed as long as she doesn't want to go to see the doctor. She prefers to stay warm in her room and that's why she doesn't like to go fly outside much. 

I love the picture too. It's so touching and emotional <3
