This is really pretty, I lovvvee all the colors! The Gelert itself looks very soft, as well as colorful. I love how you made the colors all blend into each other smoothly and didn't make each color look like a patch or something, I find that very hard to do with real media. I also like how you highlighted the her :D It looks very real, especially her front paws, verrry cute. And that eye...gah, so pretty! As for the background, it totally corresponds around the cliff and the Gelert's colors. I like the shape of the moon, and how you made the background all splotchy. Salt and water? Nice effect, gives it an interesting look that people will like to look at. ^__^ All in all, GREAT JOB!! Keep it up!
