Description

Just in time for fall, a nice autumny painting for Enaxn!  Switchback (maltese tiger) and Ckazz (moose) meet in the shade of an autumn tree.  These two are adoptive siblings; Switchback was taken in by Ckazz's parents when she was a cub.  Much to Ckazz' chagrin at times I bet, Switchback is rambunctious and tricksy!  Ckazz usually has one stunted antler, which I nubbled down even more so that it wouldn't cover his eye.  The nice long composition of this one was super fun to work with, plus the color scheme.  I love painting mountains, whee!  =D

Beautiful job on the fur and the grass! I like how you muted the tiger's fur color with shadow so it would better match the autumn palette. And... oh man. The fuzzballs and grass get blurry near the bottom of the painting! That makes it look even more real!

Whoooooah.
