aww cute!

Lighting details aside... I personally am blown away at how you shaped the shading. Shading is a nightmare for me. The background is a little heavy, but the scenario and emotion definitely show through. I'll definitely come back to your gallery. c:

thanks for the comments, and I agree, that lighting was way off, sorry guys XD

All the technical parts have been stated below. So it's time for silly part of the comments then. Pretty amazing artwork I can say. You've done well with the details. Not so complex but you get the emotion of the drawing. So, keep up the good work and will wait for more of your work in the future. Two thumbs up for you!

Very well done, as Mighty stated, use a different hue for shading. Or lighten up the blue a bit next time, other than that, keep up the good work!

Not bad, I like the pose and background, but lighting is way too blue on Balto. It makes Balto himself look like he's a sparkle dog. And to be quite honest with you, I thought this was a sparkle dog from the front page...

Anyway, since the background is mainly a purplish color, I don't understand where the blue lighting is coming from. Try using a more purplish color.
