Candles and Cards

Edit: Hey, thanks for the front page feature!

Taliesin is the first fursona I ever created, dating back about 8 years now. And here she is with my first ever full digital scene.

Like just about every other time I've drawn this gal in the past, I had to give it a theme of witchcraft. Considering Taliesin is my first ever sona, and that I practice witchcraft irl, I think it only makes sense that Talie is also a witchy gal :)

I had a lot of fun experimenting with texture and lighting for this scene. The lighting from the blue candles were fun, and I think I've finally found a method of texturing hair that I actually like.

The large medallion in her tails is a giant version of a pendant I own in real life. It's a pentacle, a symbol of protection. There are Tarot cards under her paws, on the plush grey carpet, and symbols scribbled on the walls if you look closely enough.

The candles sitting on top of the carpet, not to mention being so close to Taliesin's (very flammable) fur may worry a couple people, but don't you fret: the candles are just for show ^^ They're all fake, Talie just wanted them with her for the atmosphere :star2:
