Wow, that is nice! Proper painting-like

Gaspeth! I gotta long way to go, but hopefully I'll learn a neat trick or two as I work. :P Thanks!

That's beautiful ¦3

That's absolutely gorgeous ;~;

What I'd give for a field like that to run through bare foot again.

Indeed, it's always nice to have a little nature nearby :P I'll have to make an effort to get out a bit more this summer I think.

Same here, lords knows I could use the exercise xD

Haha, literally just as I leave a comment saying you should do a summer scene... and you do one! :D Now this is even nicer. The weather over here is very much like this currently, and I've been spending my days lying in the cool grass shaded under a tree, relaxing and listening to the birdsong. This conveys that whole feeling, the sunlight looks perfect, the way it catches and shines through the trees, so again, well done. ^^

You're not the first person to say it either. I think people are getting a bit sick of winter and want their warmth now. xD

Thank yas :P I wish I could take credit, but really all I did was copy the picture. x3

Yes, but I could copy it and you could copy it and something tells me the two end results would look rather different! :P

..... Damn, Ru. I thought this was a picture D:

...april fools? 83

Hah, thanks! x3

Fashionably late, yes? ;D

I follow nobody's rules but my own! xD

you too?

This looks very nice Ruaidri Sir.

Heh, why thank yas. *ruffles hair* x3

*shuts her eyes and churrs, leans into the petting*

That looks absolutely lovely!

Okay, this is just wonderful. I think you did a better job here than on the winter landscape, but what do I know? I just know that it's very, very awesome and saved.

Pretty work.

Very pretty!

That's gorgeous, You're really good at those. ^ ^

Very nice meadow scene. *wicked grin* Looks perfect for a couple to frolic in.

Idea... now a dark cave with stalactites stuff :)

The icon looked like a photograph x3
You should do an ocean scape next x3

Hmmmm Another poem? =D

If you wanna :P

Hmmm...erotic or noooot? :P

You're the writer, not me. x3

Hmmmm...true.... smut it is then!!!!! :3

Very impressive, even with the things you note you'd like to improve.

What medium did you use to make this?

This is 100% acrylic paint on bristol board. Thank yas :P

Awesome!
Mind if I gank it for my desktop? :3

If you want to, you're more than welcome to. :P Lemme know how it looks all desktopified!

It has pretties. ^.^ I think that you're already good at this, but if you think that you've got more awesome in you I certainly won't tell you not to dazzle me.
Do you take requests? Do a beach! I likes the beach.

Well, it's only my second 100% acrylic landscape painting. I'm sure as I practice I can get better, but we'll see how that goes I suppose. x3

I don't, strictly speaking, but if people keep mentioning ideas in these comment sections, I'll probably keep trying to paint different stuff. Saves me making decisions myself and helps me force myself to try a variety of stuff. x3

I wasn't being entirely serious about that. I almost never am. I just thought it was funny because people always request pics of furries or themselves or sex or some permutation thereof, but never "You know what I want to see? Sand!"

Christ! Looked like BC2 from the thumbnail!

BC2?

I really love these backgrounds you do.

Why thank yas :P I'll probably keep on doing them as practice, whenever I get some spare time in between commissions. They're kinda fun, and good practice I imagine.

wow look at that, impressive Ruaidri, good detailing and colours, also counts as a good bg for your character drawings too!

The only problem is it would be very tricky to use this method of painting for a background for my characters. To paint like this I use a lot of very big sweeping strokes to completely fill in the background smoothly, which is impossible when painting around a character. I'll have to work something out though, if I get good enough at these. x3

You do very well with these. I'm happy to see you continuing on this sort of thing. I'd love to see you do a beach of lake scene some time.

Hey, nice phot...*blink*...wait, what? *blink-blink*

...whoa...

Okay, I expect to see backgrounds like this in your commissions from now on.

Bwha, good luck with that. With this I could look directly at a photo and didn't have to put much detail into the foreground, most of the focus is in the distance. With a normal picture that focuses on characters, not only do I have the trouble of having to paint around some characters, I have no ref as they're rarely usable and more of the focus is in the close up detailed bits that I can't do.

Commissions won't be seeing backgrounds like this for quite some time. x3

Very nice

Lovey
