PLEASE DOWNLOAD FOR FULL VIEW! It looks much better that way. <3

The long-overdue prize to :iconadoniax: for being on of the people to catch my 2,000th pageview!

I really hope you like it, hun. I know I do, though there are some things that I would change...such as the border...or the non-existance of one. I was going to make it all cloudy and blurry, but didn't have the heart to cover up that much of my background. lol. But really, I hope you like it. I wanted it to be special for you because you've been a great friend to me and I'm glad you're here. :heart:

Anyhow, so now I'll get into my long and non-interesting ramble that nobody cares about.

As you can see, I'm still working on my background-blending skills, which aren't quite -there- yet. Bleh. But anyhow, I made this background and then a hawt pega to go with it, then realized the pegasus didn't fit at all. Of course. So, I had to decide between my pega or my background. The background won ^^

So then I tried another horse off into the distance. Looked really stupid. So then, out of the blue, I thought "Oooh. Lion cub playing with a butterfly!" Where that idea came from I don't know. So, off to search for a lion cub. Any idea how hard it is to find a stinkin' cub pouncing on something? You'd think it would be easy. But no. But I really like this pose, even though I had to transplant bits of paw off another picture because half his paw was hidden ^^ So I hope you didn't have your heart set on a pony, Adonia love. But the cub's just so darn cute! :heart:

It seems with every image I make I'm spending more time on it...even if you can't really tell ^^ I probably spent nearly 15 hours on this if you count the trashed pega.

And I had more to say, but you probably don't feel like reading much more and I've forgotten what it was anyway :D

OHH. I just remembered. You may critique if you'd like, but please keep it light. I'm mostly looking for suggestions on what to do with the (nonexistant) border.

EDIT: Added a border, even if it's ugly, it's better than none :D
