Serenata

This one is a bit older again, it was drawn somewhat eight months ago.
I thought it would be neat to try to apply Alphonse Mucha's way of portraying hair into canine fur. For that, I needed a character with long and silky ears, similar as Saluki's and Afghan hound's (at that time I didn't have any suitable oc's for that task, but now I do)
So I chose the first that sprang to my mind, *IsisMasshiro's Nobara from her webcomic Invasion, for the sole reason that he's one of my absolute favorite characters ever. Moreover, being an old and mysterious chap this particular character fitted in a piece like this just perfectly.

I kind of like how this came out. It's not quite same as I originally intended, but not too bad either. I personally like the art nouveau-ish look. Blue glow effect is added digitally, otherwise it's all traditional.

Oh, and Serenata from Immediate Music was a great inspiration for this, hence the title.
