Trade, request, contest

Hi here! I haven't been around for a long time, but I was working during the summer very hard, and also had to relax sometime. The most stuff I've done was easy and beneficial, such as preparing food with ma' love or doing some arts I've asked to make, but this last, not the original way: I was requested trough the internet :) And to feel, how serious is this, this was the first time I've drawn something for someone without knowing him or her! Those who received my art seem to be love it, so I'm pretty glad.

On Deviantart I'm in a group, called Art-Trade-Central, and I've mentioned in June that I'd like to make an art trade as it sounds like a good training and also can make me a bit famous :) Exoen144 answered a few days later that she'd be interested in an art trade, so we made our pact: I'm doing her Star Track Online character, and she is making art in the theme of Caffee Latte and Strawberry. It's my blog's name translated to English, and Strawberry is also the name of my Fursona (my pretty much unknown fursona, about whom you can read here more. Not much, but more.)

So it's her STO character, the finished art.

The upper one is the colored layer on the top of my scanned drawing, without the lineart.

I used black and red pencil for the basic lines, and Photoshop CS5 for the background (it's a picture, I don't know where I found, it was a part of a bigger texture pack..), the coloring and also for the tiny details like her eyes and the glisten.
