A personal doodling of Yona, an aevaeryx known as the 'white dancer'. :>
Program: Photoshop CC 2015
Tablet: Wacom Intuos Pro
Time: ~ 6hrs
Behind the Scenes: Initially ready for shading yesterday, I couldn't decide on a style I wanted to play with until today. This is kind of a weird blend of cel-shading and soft highlights and lowlights. I'm really not sure how I feel about it, but hopefully it gives someone out there the warm fuzzies. The background is more or less a nod to my ancient 2011-2012 sketch commissions where I churned out 'pop-out' commissions left and right. Let no borders define you!

It's a dinosaur with an extra set of wings! XD
Well, to put it incredibly simply, and only physically, yes.
It's glorious nevertheless 
Haha, thank you! c:
Gosh, those feathers and that shading. <3
Thank you very much! <3
You're very welcome!
Oh. This looks amazing. You worked really hard on those feathers. It always worth it. Feathery wings alwasy looks so amazing fully detailed. Also really good work on the light. Seems like a sunset to me and that birdy flies really high in the skies.
Thank you very much! :>
Welcomes. 
I cannot comprehend how a human being can produce such magnificent artwork!
Thank you, that's kind of you to say!
Ah, it's no problem ^^
This is absolutely beautiful and so warming. great choice on color palette and pose. I really like the framing too 
Thank you very much, I'm glad it's been so well received!
That is beautiful! 
Love the shading here :3
Love the shading here :3Thank you! :>
You're welcome ^^
Absolutely love everything about this! The details and the colors.. Really amazing
Thank you very much!
Yay for Yona, she's one of my favorite Aevaeryx of yours! She looks so wonderful here against the beautiful sky. Can't wait to see more of her and the reference sheet too.
Thank you very much! Might be another year or two before I can ever start doing references again at this rate. 
Oh goodness! Just because you're so busy, or due to other commissions, or both?
Very much both XD
