I have found..... my style. *Collapses*

Well, I've officially given up using layers. I now really, in every sense of the phrase, digitally paint; and it's great! It's much more free, I think; working with layers is like putting a jigsaw puzzle together, except you have to paint the pieces yourself. It's just a lot of unnecessary technical hassle, I think.

So, I think I'm finally discovering my own personal style, and I like it. Muahahaha!

Aight, enough of that. This is my entry for Crocofielius' October Contest. I was originally intending to do a fox standing there just being cute, or something, but today I was just walking around when suddenly this composition just popped into my head, and I just had to paint it.

So, I hope you like it, Croco! (Though I'm probably not going to get any points for realism; this thing's like... a giant blob of Linear Dodge. XD)

I still need to work on doing mountains digitally; it's hard to get the right texture. With acrylic I can use a pallete knife, or scrape a flat brush, for a really good texture, but digital's a little trickier because it doesn't have that varying shape of moving bristles. But oh well, it turned out alright nonetheless.
