*in an orc's voice* Work Complete! XD

You wouldn't think that this actually took me a little over 16 hours to complete, from pencil sketch, to inking, to colouring, to background. But that's how long it took. O.o And I absolutely LOVE the over-all finished look of it :)

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one, as I'm submitting it to the Further Confusion conbook :)

And look! The bard's got strings on his lute now ;) LOL!

the vixen reminds me of Maid Marian from Disney's Robin Hood :)

Absolutely wonderful, the work you put into it really shows, and it really paid off. I could spend my whole life trying and never make anything this good.

I also agree on the Robin Hood similarities...

I think this is one of your best yet ^_^ The shading on the bard's clothes is very nice and I like the cat maiden's giggly expression.

A few nitpicks: The dresses could use more indications of folds, especially where they pool at the ground. The sky also looks too uniform. If you look at the sky on a clear day, it isn't all the same color - it gets darker as you go up.

I'm with FC on this one....you should consider a career illustrating children's books.

Wow... I really have to say: well done!

I'm just curious about something: The bard's cape seems too... smooth, I guess you could say. It just seems odd that the cape would fall down that rigidly, when the tail is comming out from it.
