Description

Happy Birthday, *Ribbontail!

I had a bit of trouble figuring out what character I wanted to do this year, and ended up scrapping at least two pictures that I started on due to indecision and unhappiness for the way they were turning out. I'm still not satisfied with the image I did end up doing, but at least I managed to finish something. I just wanted to do something at least so I didn't miss this occasion, even if it doesn't quite do Atma Janaka / Eclipse the justice I think he deserves in art for his gorgeous design.

Anyways, I hope you had a great year and an excellent birthday, Ribbons! (I'm not sure if you'll see this until later though.)

I'm so tired currently that I honestly can't think of what to write in this description; sorry for being so short and abrupt.

How do you remember my birthday every year?? I don't even tell people my birthday but you always get it. You're just so cool, Rax.  <333 This year I made an effort to remind myself, but got so caught up in deadline nonsense (car registration on 19th, court on 22nd, payment by 31st) that I almost glossed past it again. I think you, my bio-sister ~Crystal124, and my husband are the only ones who remember the date consistently, but I guess this is becase you guys are my family. Eeeeee. Thank you so much for remembering again! You always make me feel special. Thank you so so much. :hug: :glomp: :heart:

This is such a gorgeous picture, aaaaah look at this beautiful dargin. Eclipse's war-form is something I don't post nearly enough of, and seeing this make me want to do go a sketchdump of all the recent doodles and experiments. He really is a lovely, peculiar-looking creature, and you captured his regality here; it's all in the gaping mouth, wild eyes, and fiery mane, not to mention that halo. Eclipse is meant to be expressive and all-over-the-place, which in his war-form becomes veeeery obvious-- fiendish, evil even, despite his role as a technical good guy. Haha! This said, I love the eyes here and just how bright they are. Eclipse is always changing his form and the eyes shift as well, but this yellow-on-red design is great and I think I'll use it as one of his more common ones. I also like your use of form in this picture, with the furrowed brows and smile. His whiskers are nice too, very graceful. :3

Another thing I really like about this picture is the style. It's halfway between "pixeled" and "painterly", and I can't quite put my finger on what to call it. What program did you use, and what was your process? I like it! In the future, when I have the right tools, I'll have to draw it out because it's really cool.

(Also I see lyics! "The Phoenix Alive" is such a cool song and I must remember to do a pic to it someday. THOSE LYRIC)

Aaaaah overall you did amazing work on this picture, thank you so much Rax! Eclipse has never looked better. :heart:
