Day 21 - Linda's dogs, Saffron and Kandi

[vilakins]

linda_joyce wanted a drawing of her dogs, and anyway this is a sort of welcome home for Kandi who went missing but was found again.

Linda's dogs, Saffron and Kandi

Done in the GIMP hence the rendered background, and my first go at dogs.



I also made her an icon if she wants it.



My NaArMaMo 2011 Gallery is here; go up a level for the others.

The fur is so touchable, they're wonderful. And it's good to hear that a lost dog has come home!

I've said this before, but you're really good at individualizing your subjects.

[vilakins]

I was so relieved! Those two like each other so much too.

Thank you! :-D

[gwendraith]

Beautiful. I think Linda is going to be very happy :)

[vilakins]

She was, and I was delighted. :-)

Wonderful girls, so happy! Yes, now the joy will be even bigger when Kandi is back. You managed to catch their uniqueness, lovely heads and smiles! Also their long fur is wonderfully painted and the green background is great!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thanks! The green background was a bit of a cheat: the "cloud render" in two shades of green. I worked from a photo and it was mostly green behind them anyway.

BTW I was thinking of using some of your photos for inspiration but your scrapbook doesn't allow me to see any, just empty squares.

[vjezkova.livejournal.com]

To tell the truth, I am not sure how to handle hte scrapebook. I haven´t work with it yet, there is no organisation, so this mess must be my fault...

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Maybe they're all in "unsorted? Or the style doesn't show previews? I'm not sure.

[vjezkova.livejournal.com]

Well, probably unsorted, unfortunately I really have no time to do something about it:::

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I think it would be a pain to do it anyway. I'll look at your tags to see what I can find. :-)

[vjezkova.livejournal.com]

Well...yes.
Anyway - feel free to tell me what sort of pictures you can use: plants, animals, sceneries or so - I will send them via e-mail.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Scenery that's fairly simple. :-)

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Oh, the silky texture of their fur is quite brilliantly done -they're lovely!!!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Blendy-blend-blend!

[reapermum.livejournal.com]

The fur is brilliant, it flows so realistically.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-D

[blencathra.livejournal.com]

This is lovely! I particularly like the fur - it looks like you could stroke it.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they're very soft dogs to touch. :-)

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Oh, they look so soft and cuddly! I'm sure she'll be pleased.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I think she was; she now has the icon. :-)

[quabazaa.livejournal.com]

They are ADORABLE! I love how you've shown their smiles as well.. they sure look like happy fluffy dogs :) Awesome job!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

One is fairly new but they get on well together and they have a great owner. :-)

[ultrapsychobrat.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is wonderful! They look so happy and full of energy. I had wondered where Linda got her neat icon and I see you're the answer.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Yay; she's using it! :-D

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

That's lovely! You've caught them perfectly.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-D

[hangingbyayarn.livejournal.com]

AWE!!!=)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

And awww to your icon too!

[pebblerocker]

Fluffy fluffy! That's excellent fur!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

They look so soft in her photos. :-)

[luinielle.livejournal.com]

Beautiful! Their fur is wonderfully rendered.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Extra-good compliment when it's from a dog-lover. :-)
