Artist's Comments

A loooooooooooog overdue commission for the incredibly patient and kind ~twitchdoberman of her lovely feline char Rila, sharing a peaceful streamside moment with three of her beloved pets (which have passed away--this drawing being a memorial to them). FYI, the cat in her lap is a Rex, and the rat is a Dumbo hairless. Her char has changed a bit since I started this image around 3 years ago (yes, it's been that long, or possibly even longer--I can't quite remember O_o), and there are a ton of things wrong with the anatomies and perspective, but I've done the best I could (I suck at backgrounds), and I'm calling it done now...so no crits, please. I hope you like the final version, Twitch! :) :hug:

Note: Image done in pencil and ink (and dated '08, which was when I inked it), then digitally edited; border is Art Nouveau clipart (from a Dover book), and Rila's pose is somewhat based upon this photo: [link] ...I also couldn't think of a better title; sorry. =P

Artists hold their own unique style, it should be praised, never shunned or looked down upon. Expression bleeds through all art and if you "listen" carefully it speaks from the heart of artists

Youchy ! by Yao Chi

Overhead tumble not by plan
Ground slams claw, much pain and then
"Youchy !, Youchy !", he hollers out loud
Yao Chi's fallen, from his cloud.

I support $:jark:

wow, that's pretty awesome. all those details and dark shading is really nice. i think the art noveau border really brings it all together, too. dover had some great art noveau stuff... i had an old coloring book from them years ago.
