Charon's Welcome

Description

Hmmm, can't think of a good title.... >w>' "A Shy Welcome" is really lame to me, but I can't think of anything else.... Now, I've just decided to call it "Charon's Welcome." XD

I learned an easier way to do cell-shading! 8D Usually cell-shading was a bigger challenge for me than soft-shading, so that's why you'd see my drawings soft-shaded a lot. But now that I saw some people doing this in livestreams, I picked it up and it cut the complexity greatly! XD It's going to make things way easier for me. :D I was excited about it, so I went ahead and kept working on this all in one sitting. Now I'm stupid enough to take the time to post this when I'm starting to get a headache and ought to be getting away from the computer. :la: xD I missed the crisp effects of cell-shade. >w<

This started out as a half-body sketch that I drew back in December, I think. I had wanted to do something with it. I was thinking of using it for a journal, but then when I picked it up last night, I just decided to turn it into a full body shot before I inked and colored it. I should do a traditional picture of Charon sometime again.... ;w;" I've just been caught up in digital a lot lately because I want to keep practicing. :XD:

I also seem to be sticking with the large ears on her even though tiny ears are different. Even though really tiny ears are different, I think, the large ones leave Charon's head looking less barren with the way her quills are styled. I was going to leave the background blank, but I ended up adding color.... Y'know, even though I do like pink and Charon is that color, it doesn't always fit her too much.... Pink is often considered a feminine color, and Charon isn't that feminine or girly, contrary to what people might think -- just cute. That's why, despite her fur color, the most girly aspect of her appearance that I think she has is the dress she wears...but it doesn't even look much like a dress and that suits her. XD I think blue-green colors go with her the best...also since green is the opposite of red, even though pure bright reds and greens clash on the color wheel. XD;;;

Okay, anyway.... I've been on this darn computer all day. I really should get off and move around before my headache gets worse and can't get rid of it. ^^;
