Painterly Esk Portrat - Makir [293]

Description

I decided to try another new style, with a more painterly approach. It's super different for me, and makes me squidgy because of the no outlines.
But in the end, I really enjoyed the process. So much different than my normal illustrative style. 
Hope it's enjoyed

Oh gosh, I am so sorry it took me this long to see this ;___;
dA didn't notify me with a mention/tag, and your reply was buried under a sea of messages so I didn't see it until I decided to clean my inbox today X___x

You have no idea how much I love this piece! Did you know you're the first person to actually draw Makir underwater? It's something that I've always wanted to see, but despite how he's from a freshwater biome, no one ever did that, and it's just such a pleasant surprise! I am so in love with this piece<3 There's so many things about it that I love, such as the way you drew and shaded Makir, the texture of your strokes really, really brings out the 'painted' feeling of this piece, how the colours you've chosen especially for the 'underwater' scene really makes this piece so stunning and pleasant to look at, the little light reflections on the bottom of the water, and how the 'white' of the waterfall above 'balances' out of the blue/cool colours of the bottom half of the pic. And most of all, you've placed Makir in such a position where the orange colours of his jewelweed really stands out strikingly and draws the eyes of the viewer to him. There's just so much perfection in this piece that I am absolutely in love ;-; thank you so very very much for this... I could stare at this for hours:heart:
