IS IT ABSURD FOR ME TO HURT

when everything else is fading?

this is my end of an art trade with the wonderful Neverrmind of her B-A-B-E Tilney!! what a cutie! I love this character a lot a lot a lot and loved the chance to make art of him! this piece was really nice because it started as a reluctant "I GUESS I'll start a manip even though I'm Not In the Mood" and it turned into its completion several hours later....and.......I really enjoyed making it!
The hues n colours in this were a bit tricky and I'm still not quite sure if I got them bang-on, just because I really wanted to keep Tilney's signature chestnut colour so I may have made a lil bit of a stretch in his coat Vibrancy in my attempt to do so!! nonetheless I like how this turned out as it's a bit different than what I'm used to in terms of environment (a NIGHT SCENE!!!! So Rare in my gallery) and colours! i hope you like it!!
