Eph has a mission: Protect pregnant Herla. You mess with her, you mess with him. 8|


On another note, this was a super fun piece to do and it turned out almost exactly like I had imagined it in my head. That never happens! So it was nice.

Big thanks to the people in the livestream who watched me paint this! You're awesome.

*stares and stares and stares

*stares and stares and stares some more* And no doubt after I finish this comment, I shall stare even more. I can see even better now all the details you put into the background, it truly is stunning. Happy little puddle. And happy little trees every where. The Bob Ross voice in my head is pleased. The lighting and coloring and over all mood you created for the scene is just so awe inspiring. You’ve every right to be proud of that background, it takes the cake.

Ephiré looks as calm as ever with little Herla darting about underfoot, lol. He does look serious though. Certainly don’t want to mess with him. And Herla looks so dainty and pretty. I love how you painted her feathers.

It was so much fun watching your process with this, entertaining as always. Thank you so much for sharing your art with us.

I think I would have liked to be there too, perhaps sitting by the water where I could watch them pass by on a safer distance, lol. ^^'

YEAAHHRR.

I do love seeing this finished. The livestream view is always way too small. Absolutely love the background, and how you showed the personality's in the characters. Herla bouncing, Eph looking all serious. Really wouldn't want to run into his antlers. He looks extremely powerful. ♥
