" This is the profile avatar I made for my Girlfriend Neiara "Brittany" so she could use something I drew specifically for her. I drew her in chibi form and I think she and her puppy look adorable. Took longer on this one, I redrew the lines a lot trying to draw this while recalibrating my Cintiq 13HD and Photoshop at the same time. I drew Neiara and the puppy seperately and then combined them. The Shih Tzu took about 5 layers, construction, first build and then ink lines layers. then 2 for the color and shaded color a dark grey almost black. Lots more layers for Neiara herself since I seperated segments into foreground and background lines and color layers using her favorite colors and birth month colors for the ears tail and clothes. I kept it simple, no extravagant action or shading or anything like that since I wanted it to be easily readable as a small image. I found the cherry blossom image and moddified it and made it look like a painting and adjusted the color to fit just a bit better, it may have been from a high detail anime but im unsure. Anyways My girlfriend Loves it and she said she didnt mind if I shared it online to show it off. Please rate up if you liked it."
