I'm glad you like them! I love sharing my process. I too enjoy watching others paint. ^^

That makes me really happy to hear! I love sharing my process with others. ;w; It was so much fun working on this one! Thanks again for the opportunity. <333

Thanks! I always try to aim for the least number of layers I can get away with, haha. For me, I find that using less layers results in more natural-looking paintings. I like when my initial sketch lines, characters, and backgrounds kinda blend and smudge into each other here and there. ^^

The raccoon definitely knew... The fox..? Maybe not so much. I'm guessing the former is who paid for the shots, haha! (Blue Label whiskey is very pricey.)

I put a lot of love into what I do. Thanks so much for your support, Randle! I really appreciate it.

Thanks, Materies! I'm glad you enjoy them. I love sharing my process with others!

On the Southern Hemisphere, seasons are opposite, which is indeed pretty neat!

Spring: September, October, November
Summer: December, January, February
Fall: March, April, May
Winter: June, July, August

It's all good; my 'tism makes it harder for me to get jokes. Thanks for humoring me! 😅

Also, you can go camping and find snow like this any time of the year so long as you can get to a high enough elevation. Very cold and nippy up there! That's why mountain tops are snowy.

Sorry for the tangent; kinda just thinking out loud here.

tldr; this piece is just cold, not holiday-themed.

I tried something different for this piece and painted the character's flat colors directly on top of the sketch, blending and smoothing them together. I then rendered on a separate layer. I thought this method may speed up the process, but it ended up taking longer. 😂 Oh well, it was still fun!

Thanks, glad you liked it <3

Thanks Card! :3

This was a commission from earlier this year. Also, the seasons are reversed on the opposite side of the planet. When Americans are celebrating Christmas, temperatures average 77-95F down under in Australia. Lastly, I think artists should be free to paint and post whatever environments they like.

Thanks, Fooster! I'm glad you liked it ^^
