Into the New Yearby ~cerona

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Animals

My very delayed Christmas/New Years present to you all

_{ARTIST'S COMMENTS

I hope you can all apologise for the delay of this! I started on it just a few days before Christmas, when I had a little bit of spare time, but I didn't have enough time to finish it. I thought I'd be able to finish it before New Year instead, but even though it didn't exactly take long to draw, there were just too many other things that I had to do instead. But now I finally managed to finish it off, even though it might be a bit rushed!

It was very hard to try and pick only a handful of people who's characters I would draw. In the end, I had to limit it down to those who I feel are closest to me or supported me in their own ways.

(For just being you )

Cirdan © *Aomori
(For letting me into the community and taking care of me )

Of course, with more time and patience, I would have wanted to include more characters, but just because your character might not be on there doesn't mean I appreciate your support any less

I tried keeping layers to a minimum, having all shading and highlights on one layer for each character, but it still added up to more than expected! The snowflakes are my own customised brushes, made from photos of snowfall. The mountain is referenced from a mountain rendered in Vue D'Esprit.

Happy New Year To Everyone!!

How do you do a whole bunch of different linearts and colour them in?! That would drive me crazy xD Beautiful picture!

It does with me too

But I cheat and only colour where I really have to, so if one horse is covering up another, I don't colour that horse completely but leave it blank to save time and effort
