She takes a deep breath and heaves a soft sigh of contentment, the calm waves of the crystalline sea rushing in a steady, ever continuous rhythm as she stands there among them, the water reaching just above her knees. She basks in the cool, crisp, salty breeze as it caresses her face and plays with her hair, enjoying the warmth of the bright sun as it turns the water before her into a gorgeously vast, glittering expanse, absently reaching a hand up to slightly adjust the brim of the straw hat on her head to keep the blinding glare out of her eyes. It was always so wonderful to be able to come out here and enjoy time out at the beach, and while the heat of the summer didn't bother the half demon as much as it might most others, even she couldn't help but indulge in taking a refreshing dip out in the water every so often when the opportunity presented itself.
Of course the summertime, just like everything else in life, was fleeting, and soon enough the humid, shining days would give way to the brisk chill, longer nights, and changing leaves of the incoming autumn. Though in the meantime, Kira had every intention to make the best of what still remained of the high season until it came back around again next year, and just enjoy some well earned vacation time having fun out in the sun, sea, and sand to her heart's content.
Hey hey! It's been, well, a little while since the last time I posted, aha... Still trying to slowly work my way through the backlog of artworks that I still need to share on here, but with it already being the first day of September and with the end of summer coming up just around the corner I figured I'd at least get this one posted up before the season finally comes to a close! So I hope you all enjoy this summer-themed YCH art piece featuring my dear half demon lynx lady Kira, all dressed up in a gorgeous-looking swimsuit and ready to have a good time at the beach and going out for a nice swim in the sea! Even though fall is definitely well on its way and will be arriving sooner before you even realize it, given how quickly the summer has been flying by already, it's still not a bad time to enjoy the warmer weather outside while it's still sticking around and make the most of any vacation days you may still have! Even so, I hope that all has been well with everyone and that this summer has been an overall pleasant one for you all so far, and for those who aren't so fond of the heat and humidity, I hope that you've managed to survive through it well enough~ ^^
That all aside, I absolutely adore how wonderfully and amazingly this art piece really ended up coming out! It's a very simple and classic concept for a summer-themed work, but of course even simple is still very nice, and the artist did such a fantastic job with really executing the overall vibe and atmosphere so well! I really love how beautiful Kira looks in this kind of realistic art style, how gorgeously the coloring brings out the colors of her coat and her markings, and most especially how sleek and pretty-looking her wings are as well! Those feathers really do seem like they would be velvety soft if you could actually reach out and touch them for real! And while Kira's design wasn't originally made to have any kind of hair, I really do feel like the sort of short, asymmetrical bobbed hairstyle that the artist has drawn her with in this and a couple of other artworks I've gotten from her by far (which I will share here too whenever I can) absolutely suits her very well! The softness of the shading and rendering style makes everything feel so smooth and flow together so well, and it definitely feels like the artist really gave a lot of attention to even the small details... Like the way the sunlight falls upon her body and provides a nice, warm contrast to the primarily neutral and cool colors, how it gives a radiant, glistening brightness to the waves below as it dances atop the water, as well as the look of the translucent sheen on the inner tube and how parts of her that would otherwise be obscured can still be seen through the clear plastic, just such fantastic work all around! This whole artwork really just screams out warm, beachy, summertime vibes, and honestly, I wish I could be there, taking a nice coastal vacation and going out for a swim in the cool waters of the ocean myself! The artist really did such a wonderful job of really nailing and capturing that kind of atmosphere in a piece like this so gorgeously, that much is for certain~ <3333
This beautiful, awesome, delightful, and stunning YCH art piece was done by the equally beautiful, awesome, delightful, superb, and super talented artist Amelia_mi!! Again, thank you so very much for both such a wonderful art piece and for the opportunity to be able to work with you once more on something like this! It's always just an absolute joy and a real pleasure to be able to collaborate together, or even to just talk with each other about anything and everything that we want to discuss about outside of just work and art! You're really such a super sweet, kind, and understanding person, and I'm very glad to have had the opportunity to be able to meet you as well as get to know more about you throughout all of the messages we've shared together! I'm glad to be able to call you something of a good friend to me, and I will most definitely be looking forward to the next time we can do a project like this together again sometime in the near future! You always do such a fantastic job with drawing my precious lynx gal Kira every single time, and I hope that you'll continue to develop and grow further in all kinds of positive ways with your art style and with any kind of career that you wish to pursue as well! In the meantime, though, I will certainly be looking forward to seeing more of your awesome artworks whenever you can post them up, and definitely do keep up the amazing work as well~ <3333
And hey, if you're not doing so already, then please do consider having a wander over to Amelia's page, giving her a watch, faving the original post of this artwork and any of the other pieces she has in her gallery that catch your interest, and if you like what she does and what she has to offer then definitely think about snagging a commission from her as well! She does very lovely and super nice art for very decent and reasonable prices, and she would be more than happy to draw something for you if you're interested in buying from her! She still has a fairly small follower base here on FA, and I'm sure she'd be quite pleased for any and all new customers or even just anyone who enjoys her works and would like to help support her! If YCHs are more the sort of thing you're looking for, she does have a good number of interesting ones that are available for the taking for anyone who might be interested in grabbing one! And as she does them quite frequently, so you might just be able to find something that suits your taste in either what she already has up that's still open or whenever she posts new ones! But whatever it is that you're after, you can be sure that you'd getting some lovely and astounding quality artwork out of it for whatever price you end up paying! And even if you're not in a position to be able to afford commissions or don't really have any interest in buying any art for yourself, I still highly encourage you all to give an awesome and lovely artist the support, attention, and love she deserves by giving her a follow and sharing around her artworks with others as well!
Links to Amelia's commission info and prices as well as her current open YCHs and her adoptables that are still up for grabs and looking for good homes will be posted below as per usual! Please do consider checking them out and ordering something from her if you like her stuff and are interested in commissioning, and you're unable to afford buying anything or don't want any art then even just faving and sharing her stuff around with friends, acquaintances, followers, and anyone else who'd like to get something themselves would be greatly appreciated!

Kira looks so beautiful here (*♡∀♡) I love this lights and colors
Oh for sure!! I absolutely love these kinds of scenes that just feel so warm, cozy, and familiar in some way. And I’m sure Kira would be quite happy and flattered to hear it! The white-gold bikini looks very nice on her here, though I suppose it could also be argued that she’d look good regardless of what it is she wears, haha~ 😊

Once again such a lovely and soft art along with the text <3
Entering september, with future times going to be less warm, it's nice to see such an art that is bringing back some sun and warmth !
And gosh Kira looks so sweet and beautiful here ! The artist did so great !

Ahhhh thank you so much again as always, Aeryl!! And of course, I figured it would only make sense to try and get this particular piece posted while it's still technically summer! The weather here is certainly still pretty warm even in September, but I imagine that cooler temperatures will start coming in soon enough, for sure! Which I'm certainly looking forward to as I've never been fond of it being too hot outside, but of course there's still plenty of sun and warmth to enjoy in the meantime until next summer comes around! And I'm sure Amelia would be very happy to hear that! She absolutely did an amazing job with this piece, though really all of her stuff is just wonderful in general! Huge props to her for really bringing it to life and making it look so beautiful too! 😊
Again, I really greatly appreciate your fave and you taking the time to leave a lovely comment as well, Aeryl! As always, I'm incredibly happy and grateful for all of your kindness and support, and while you certainly don't need to I'm always glad whenever you're able to post up a comment on these artworks and the accompanying little stories too! You seem to have no shortage of compliments and all kinds of nice things to say, and it really means a lot that you enjoy what I do as well! Super appreciate it a lot, and I'm always glad to see what all you have to share too whenever you can post up new artworks! I hope you have a very lovely day/night, a pleasant rest of your week, and a wonderful upcoming fall season as well, my dear wind dragon friend~ 💜💜💜💜💜

Woah... :0 Kira looks so freaking absolutely beautiful and sexy in this pic!! I'm pretty it's always going to be a very good and fun day when you're with Kira~ ;3
Amelia did such an awesome job drawing this for you~ And of course you did such an excellent job with the story and description, I really enjoyed them like I always do, you really are amazing, my dearest friend and I wish nothing but the best for you, Phoenix~ 😊❤️❤️

Hehe, she certainly does!! Certainly nothing like enjoying a nice day out at the beach while the weather is still warm and the summer season is still around! And you can certainly bet that Kira will absolutely make sure it’s a fun and overall very pleasant day for herself and her friends~ 😊
Amelia absolutely did a very wonderful job with this piece, for sure! All of her stuff is just so gorgeous, and while she is looking to continue growing and experimenting with her style I’m sure anything she makes will be awesome! Would absolutely recommend checking her out if you like what she does and what she has to offer, for sure!

I hope you’re having a very wonderful day and week so far, and I hope that the rest of your September month will be overall nice and pleasant for you too, my dear friend!

I am amazed at your vocabulary! I can barely write 5 sentences in a row.... You are amazing
Oh my goodness, thank you so much!! Apologies for the delay, I've been quite busy this past week... But still, I really appreciate the kind words! As someone who enjoys creative writing and such, I'm very pleased to hear it! I do try to keep it decently varied with the wording and such, and admittedly I do have to consult a bit with a thesaurus from time to time to get a better idea of how to phrase something without making it sound too repetitive or diving into 'purple prose' territory. Still, it really means a lot that people do take notice and enjoy my writing for what it is! And to be fair, you're pretty amazing too! Hehe~ 😁
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful comment, Xuumiko! Not that I really expect everyone to do so, but it's still really nice to hear from people about the artworks I commission and these fun little stories I write up from time to time too! I really greatly appreciate it a lot! Also very happy to see more of your lovely artworks as well whenever you can post them up too! Your style is absolutely gorgeous, and I really hope to have the opportunity to work with you one of these days! Would definitely love to ask for you to draw some of my characters sometime! Hope you have a very pleasant day/night, a great rest of your week, and an awesome fall season as well~ 😊💜💜💜

Have a great day for you too!
