THIS IS GORGE, FAM. wow ;w; I really love the way you painted the paws fffffff The scales and subtle highlighting really make her pop into the foreground, that is reading really wellI love the birds too i feel like they are such an easy detail to add to any background that makes the background look 1000x better somehow??? magic.also you are getting really good at backgrounds, holy. I mean, even though it's blurred the shading/lighting/colors are all working really well!! The way you made the background closer to the viewer more warm, and the mountains further away more cool really gives it a nice atmospheric effect!Thanks so much man, its so flattering that you'd be willing to spend so much time on an image for me ffff ;w;
