Alrighty~ So I decided to redraw, or well, recolour it seems my picture from last year title "Shattered"
http://featheredseclude.deviantart.com/ ... -606682120

Not exactly certain why I wanted to, but ehh... I did.
Guess it may be because it's been over year since one of my dogs died, and I wanted to commemorate somethin to him. The dog was named Sampson. He lived about ten years, knew him is his whole life, so seein him go wasn't anything easy. Granted he was sneezing machine, and his form of getting your attention when you were sleeping was to shoot snot into your face. *FIST* everytime in return to the dog. As gross as dealing with that was, and then having to clean the bugger mess off your face. I find this strange to say... I miss it in some way? He was an excellent dog, and boy had the family been through a lot with him. We went across four states with him.
Though his momma Angel, we had her back when I was like four, she died in 2012. We got her in California. And moved all the way to center US, so that was six states in all. He lived to be four-teen. Miss her a lot too.
Then my cat Tobi, he was an ass. No other way to put it. He lived till thirteen. He died two week after Sampson did. So that was an extremely hard thing to deal with.
We also had a cat named Coco. Wi devil he was, but trying to best Tobi on what he could eat got the best of him. SOB glowing lizards. So that was hard. My sis's reaction to Coco and Sampson were likely the hardest things I've ever heard in my life. I don't have for the anguish. So this picture means a Hell of a lot of me. And there is a good chance I'll redo it each year as a continual memento.

I hope you all enjoy the image~
And have a speed paint for it, with more well, up lifting music, to it! ^^

I know how it feels. I lost 2 relatively close. I had 2 wolf/German Sheppard mixes. Powder, she was yellow, and had a wound from being shot before on her flank, and Timba, she was all black, (There was just enough German Sheppard to make it legal at the time, but not anymore) And a Labrador retriever, Harry, I Named him when I first started talking haha. Harry got real sick and was always skinny, and every morning before school, I had to clean the diarrhea from his cage and put new pads in, take him outside, give him a bath, feed him, then put him back in the cage all before I got ready. He had a blood disease, presumably from the wolves. He died right around my birthday. We spent so much money trying to bring him back to health I didn't get to do anything for it. It was a real sad time. I have a plushie that looks EXACTLY like him, that i bought right before he passed. I keep it to remind me of him. This is really beautiful, i love it. Amazing work!
