Commission: The Wayward Astronomer

This was a commission for a fellow DA member, Kafelnikov. That's his character, Hal, getting ready to give that orange wolf what for. This scene is from the 3rd chapter in his Wayward Astronomer fanfiction series.

I had a little too much fun with the sparklies. The snow and water in this particular universe is very sparkly, and well, I like sparkles. Hence the overabundance of sparkles. If there's one thing I really do like about this pic, it's that river. That came out about as good as I could hope for. I also felt like I got some half-decent background textures in there, something I've really been focusing on lately.
