Okay.

I need a break from art for a while now. Because this killed me a little on the inside. *dies*
I cannot believe that I spent 3 days on this. 3. DAYS. Way to long in my book (and no, not 3 full days...I broke them up into 5-hour sessions. Ugh.)
I recently downloaded Gimp 2.8 and had this brilliant idea to play around with it to see what I could do with it.
Well, it's a pretty neat program to say the least. Not Photoshop, but it will do just as nicely ;)
But good grief, I'm so glad it's DONE. I don't have to worry about it anymore :iconanimefaceplz:


Anyway, onto the real description.

The fox portrayed is my alter-ego, Sierra, and this is the second digital drawing that I've ever done. And no, unfortunately not with a tablet, as I'm still lacking that bit of technology, so everything was done with the good 'ol mouse. I was aiming for realistic/cartoony mix here, and I think I achieved it (or tried to for that matter). Sorry if anything looks a bit funky with it, as I've stared at this thing for so long, I don't know what to think anymore :XD: I mostly took the approach of slapping some color on a white piece of canvas paper that the program provides for you, and messed around with that. I spent the longest time on perfecting the eyes and nose, as they where the most challenging thing to draw in this piece. But I really enjoyed doing the eyes, as they just give life to a piece of work like nothing else can :) I'm fairly satisfied with how it turned out, though, I'm still new to digital media, so I'm going to go ahead and call it a practice piece :)

My hands now need a vacation. Ouch.


I hope all you enjoy :)

My fursona was born with her personality :XD: But she was more or less forced into using it a few times in her past. I have future plans to reveal more of her past somewhere down the line, so people can get a better understanding of my character, and why/who she is the way she is ;)

Oh my, I'm not sure on that one! I love Sierra, but good gosh, I could only stand being her for so long before I would get sick of it...though, I wish I could borrow some of her confidence and bravery at will, yes yes :XD:
