GODS, the details...<3 so cute and hilarious.

Hehe! This made me laugh at first glance.

I like it! Good work!

Hehe! This made me laugh at first glance.

I like it! Good work!

Fantastic image. Never miss with birds, or anything that is intelligent and can fly. *sniggers*

been waiting for this to get posted to FA!
Great work and awesome details in the image
LOVE IT!

Must be Russel 'Crow'...he has an Oscar

...unless I've completely missed the intentions of this picture, if that be the case then I'll just shut up...

good GOD your painting skills are fantastic. and still so much detail and expression X]

I like the coyote plush with all of the pins XD

Indeed! Very cute and well done.

And how they're all just missing him - just like the real yote.

Is that a wand from sailor moon?

nope. its the Queen of England royal Scepter

dawwr ! poor coyote!!

What a creative idea! Love the expression. :3

Wooow x__x If I was all rich and fancy I'd want to decorate my house with things like this.

Goddamnit why don't I have the patients to color like that.

Yeah, i would be freaking out too. Sharp pointy objects extremely close to my face.

Amazing amount of detail! And I love the expression

hahaa, poor fellow.
Curiosity may have killed the cat, but the Coyote seemed to just slip by.
Musta been his good looks.

I can only imagine the story behind it. Very great work.
Awesome detail.

Looks like something having to do with ravens liking to take shiny things?

I'm not even gonna START to guess the references in anything on this one!

Howly shite! and there he was only decorating that tree with tribal pictures... :)

frickin' hilarious, ma'am. and so full of curious details... like that OSCAR, a swiss knive, the bead dangling from the rapier's hilt, various knives, axe, forks, an eightball... a book by Edgar Allan? how fitting. :)

What's worrying me most are the stick of ACME dynamite and the little cuddly voodoo-doll of a coyote with all those pins stuck in it...

But yes, a really good piece of work, this. :)

ACME dynamite? where? *looks about* oh, there. it's not lighted... yet.
hm, interesting. there is one of Kenket's technical pencils sticking nearby. now we know where her lair must be.

Convoluted stories are always the best ones!

Best pic I've ever seen!

emmm thats looks more like the coyote calling the acme :P or that raven acts like tweety?

Poor canine. I like his expression

Haha, this is awesome. Great job on this piece.

How many Fellowship rings do ravens possess? :D

Hehe:p Is all that stuff from places you've been in your life? I see stuff from a lot of places around the world:p What a great picture^^,

Oh, nvm, i see stuff from movies and games as well:p I don't think you've ever /been/ to Middle Earth:p

Excellent pic! Made me laugh.

uber cute! :3

His expression is freakin awesome! :D

Was he trying to imitate the fox and charm the cheese from the crow?

Still my all-time favorite pic of yours. :)

Mine too!

I'm tryin' to figure out how the egg got there. >.>

hehehe well I knew ravens were notorious fer hoardin' treasures... but how'd he get a ram up there! ;)

He's all "Eep..."

Love it. Expressions, colors, detail. You've taken great care over them all.

I'm guessing his bag of trouble caught up to him! I've had a bumper-sticker-like landscape version of this, and it's been one of my favorite of your pieces for a long, long time!

Holy cow, there is so much stuff in this pic I feel like I could stare at it for days and still miss something. Its amazing, this is deffinately my new wallpaper. :3

too many deatials x-x this high above my crappy habilities, is awesome, btw, the trunk has some carvings o.o one looks like a snake/dragons head and another like an octopus tentacle... why?

what can say? excellent and mega detailed ^^ must fav it! ^^

Wow, remind me to never mess with Ravens

....it's Coyote Luck! D: That bird collected a lot of pointy things. I think he was planning on revenge.

Also! This is my new desktop background now. It's just too perfect. X3 I have days like these all too often... heheh. Thanks for brightening my workspace. ;3

Haha. It made me laugh. Nice work!

kindar chuckles "I always like this one, makes me laugh every time I see it, I love the expression on Coyote's face

Man, it is so nice to see a sense of humor in this style of artwork. Without the context from your description, I can't help but think this coyote tipped over the ACME Box of Dangerous Things (TM). :D This is awesome.

this is hysterical.

Lol that's cool.

Thats one of the first pics i ever saw from you, my girlfriend showed it to me.
We both love the litle voodoo Fox puppet

Oh, this is just adorable! I love the expression the poor little guy's got. Looks like he bit off more than he could chew... and luckily got off with a warning! :o

This is an absolutely stunning piece. That poor Coyote had it comming to him though. Going to the bad parts of the neighborhood and messing with the wrong crowd could get him cut!

how i miss this kind of artwork, this is great, all the details, the colors and the theme all are amazing

Hahah! Kenket, you just made my day. Care to tell the "convoluted story" behind this all? I'm all ears...

hehehe... cool ! ^^

well thank God they didn't break the Christmas ornaments ;)

Beautiful, stunning and absolutely hilarious. *Beware of the impending late fork*
I wish I heard the story behind that. Mean, mean raven...

omg this is bringing back memories ^^

HOLY CRAP!!! AMAZING!!!

... mind sharing the story?

silly coyot', stick with them roadrunners XD

I see a diamond and a yen! *yoinks* Mine! ^.=.^

I approve of the Swiss army knife. Even though I've never seen that particular tool.

LOL I just love looking at this pic. Every time I do I notice something I hadn't before...like this time it was the Oscar statuette :D

Amazing work, I really love it!

*shivers* so many sharp objects....I could see a cartoon or something like that coming from it.

Them's a lot of pointy implements (and an Edgar Allan Poe book?)...nice piece :)

OMG you put the medallion from the Neverending story in there? Fantastic! I love that among all the little details!

What a mess he's in ;]

Love his expression hahaha

lol awesome work!

is this water colour? its beautiful!

*falls of his chair laughing*
OMG ^^ Poor coyote

Cute and funny!! I love such a comical thing.

I remember this piece a few years ago at MFF I think! It was so amazing! I loved the expression and all the little details you did! :)
I really love this piece! Great job! :)

o.=.o oooh voodo doll? great job!

HAHAHAHHAHHAAHHAHAHAHA!!!I LOVE IT!! I love the little fox voodoo doll!! ROCK ON!!!

Birds collect thing dont you know? XD

So many details! I'm getting lost in it trying to pick out all of Raven's collectables. XD

Gouache though? Seriously?! That's something I only use sparingly.. and in conjunction with watercolor. Never been brave enough to try and complete a whole piece with it. Look at your WIP shots- do you use masking fluid at all or are you just very careful with your brush?

Thanks! I use masking fluid quite often. I used it to mask out all the fallen objects in this picture for instance. :D

I've always loved this one!!!! Cute story behind it too!! :D

We want MORE kenketness!!!!! x3

I just love how the book is just there. Wonder what the title is? 'Collection of Poems By Edgar Allan Poe'?

I remember this from the D&AD Congress in London. I picked up one of your printed flyers and was sad that you weren't attending yourself. Never mind though, I thought, at least I had the pleasure of seeing your work included. ;)

ROFLMAO! Yeahp, that's fitting of the masters of darkness. Barely missing being sliced up by knives, ball ornaments... and is that an Oscar I see...? XD

Holy... gouache? Wow.... Thats niiiiiiice.

As for the picture itself, its funny because I'm the type of person who would have that happen to ^^. Sharp pointy objects protruding from all around me, yet not a scratch on me :P

Wait a minute... Fried egg?!

LOL I LOVE how theres a Poe book xD

Some how "Caution: Sharp objects" just doesnt cut it. lol, that was a bad unintentional pun in it self.

Haha, I remember when I first saw this pic of yours on your postcard back in 2005! I LOVE it...the expresison cracks me up, and how you fit so many materials into one piece is just crazy. You must have incredible patience. ;)

Ahahaha *chcuckles* Us 'yote's are silly silly
Should've known better than to mess with those ravens! *shakes finger*

Absolutely fantastic work, hun! :D The colors are so bright and crisp! I love it. The detail blows my mind too xD

i know i came like out of the blue but i have the pocket knife near his mouth the red one oo i was shocked when i saw it

OMG, that's great!

I love the look in the Coyotes eye's.

Raven's Brew Coffee. Best coffee ever - from Alaska.

The assortment of stuff is just awesome.

Also, the progress shots are equally awesome!

Funny... this is a very old picture
I just saw it on a backup disk I made in 2003 or something like that... but Im sure is older

Love this pic! Terrrriiiifffiiiiccc detail, esp in the texture of the fur. VOODOO!

Man, he almost landed his face in that egg. That would have been messy.

*smirk*

Very lovely drawing! I love the level of detail, and the expressions. it definitely captures the "Oh *#$#!" feeling.

You earn my absolute love for posting so many pictures of the process from start to finish for the piece. That's awesome and not shown that often. Still love this piece too =)

Awesome! I've loved this since I saw it on a friends fridge about 2 years ago!

he he thats very funny!

Ahaha, excellently done!

Amazingly drawn!

looks like someone found a coons stash! lol, the detail is amazing very good work

This is great! the detail is awesome and the picture makes me laugh.

is that the Auryn?

A friend of mine has a copy of this in their kitchen. It is by far my favorite piece he has up on the wall! :)Thanks for posting it!

awesome pic! what's that thingy in the tree though?

I used to use this as my wallpaper at university a few years back. Still one of my favorites. Makes me smile and laugh a little every time I look at it. And I love all the little bits hidden in the picture from the Orin to the Oscar. Thank you for putting it back up again!

Oh you're the one who made this pic.. Love it.. How can I get a print of this?? I've been searching for this pic for a while. I love this picture hehe

Hehehe love it! :D

That's adorable as hell, god I want that framed.

Oh man what a great painting. :D
This TOTALLY reminds me of Animalia by Graeme Base. Its a wonderful book with similarly detailed work if you haven't seen it.
Excellent work.

wow.. the details are great.. even the coins have details.. >w>.. gotta fav this..

ROFL too funny )

The fish dangling from the sword's handle oddly reminds me of Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis with its amber fish *chuckles*

Very, very nice work, and a great expression on the coyote's face. :)

You are the only one to ever catch that Indy: Fate of Atlantis reference. >;]

Awesome :)

I almost don't dare asking, but are there prints of this available? It's gotten even better now :>

Very unique, I love it! x3

OH Close call....I like it..

Great picture

EEE, I've had this pic on my personal archive for years. <3 I think I found it on Yerf originally. What year did you make this? '04?

Oh yeah, and still awesome as ever. X3

POE, purity of essence?

Oh my.

What did the poor coyote do to deserve this exactly? :P

voodoo fox plushy!

That must the luckiest coyote in the world. To have all of those items surrounding him on the only thing that fell on him was a quarter.

Ha, all the little details are fab. Is that the necklace thing from never ending story there? :P

Loved the in progress links. Nice.

hehe. Some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield. Looks like being the windshield isn't always all it's cracked up to be.

Oh good lord. I can't believe I never noticed this in your image before. Is that a Raven's Brew mug you have hanging back there?

This and your thanksgiving dinner, perhaps my favorite works. You have amazing talent and an amusing imagination.

This is just like how my room is. I have too many shinys and other things and too much junk. hehe.

...I'm surprised it still has fur...I'd be scared shitless if that happened to me...But if I watched it happen, I'd be dyin' of laughter!

awesome! ;)

hey, it's the orin!

seeing this in progress is fascinating, totally the best thing in the world right now.
thanks so much for sharing.

Your expressions are so clear and it makes your illustration come so alive!

This pic of yours also reminds me of a memory of an event which happened to me while teaching a friend how to cook at his home. It got really hectic, like this pic! :3 Great work! You're very talented, but I bet you already know that! =]

Hehe, shit happened ;)

lord of the rings - ring xD

LOL

Koie: I love the 'holy crap' expression! This is an amazing picture.

Tooie: What happened! o.o

OMFG it's that wish thing from never ending story!!!! NO WAI!!!

His expression amuses me SO much. XD

WHoa....

Silly 'Yote

Lots of detail ...I especially like that Oron piece from The Neverending Story <^.=.^>

Oh this is really awesome. Very cute too. Love the little fox with the pins around it also XD

A fried egg and a pimp cane.

Damn, those bird are serious...

Aww I love his expression and his eyes! Great coloring too.

lol, the ring

this is an awesome peice, What made me laugh was the Auron from The Neverending Story, and the book with Poe on it. Quote the Raven "Don't F**k with me!"

Holy mother of G..
That is simply fantastic, especially after seeing what all you did to get this look. WOW

Heh, poe pissed me off with his black cat short story.... i was so mad.

:P

But cute piece. :P i like dis so i faving :)

*takes a breather for going down all those comments* oh wow, but anywho! tee hee hee this is so cute!! i loves it!!

his expression and the Swiss army knife are Priceless!

rofl, so funny, nice details too ^.^

I love the detail showing impressions in the trees bark. The rams face and paw prints confirm the tail. masterfully done.

Very well done, i like this style. This pic reminds me to games from the "mystery case files" series

Oh, and Yay for the Aurin

LOL I LOVE HIS LOOK

i like

is that the ring from the lord of the rings infront of his front right paw? x3 nice awesome picture

I need to roll a reflex save... ... ...

I just saw this in a book in my graphics design class. T'was pretty odd seeing your work in there. :D

This was your level 3 work, right? And what story was this for? It said in the book but I forgot xD

Ha! Really? Which book? I am amused. ;]

It was my third year's major project, yes, it and 3 other similar pictures as well as mockups for the rest of the book I was working on at the time, a story me and and a friend wrote called 'Trickster'. What school are you at? Blackpool? ;D

I'll try find out for you tomorrow, well Thursday.

What was the book about anyhow? I mean, you gotta wonder what the book is about if theres a 'yote surrounded by lots of knives xD
I go to a college called Ashton Sixth Form. Did you go to Blackpool? I'm curious now, what A Levels did you choose in college? Artistic ones? Or did ya also go for the more traditional subjects? :P

The book was obviously about devastatingly handsome ravens brutally outsmarting mangy coyotes. Thus all the shiny objects in this picture. Actually in this picture coyote tries to trick ram into ramming repetitively into the base of raven's tree, to knock her nest down. He succeeds (evidently), but instead of finding the shiny moon (which he sought after) he finds the rest of her collection.

I got my BA in Blackpool, they have a degree in Scientific and Natural History Illustration, which I liked, because it was half science (biology, zoology, evolution, etc) and half art. I don't know I'd suggest it these days because all my favorite teachers seem to have fled the establishment. As for A Levels, I never got any technically because I grew up on a farm in Devon with no formal schooling before Uni. Sorry! ;]

Ah, sounds like a really interesting story, what happened with it? I like looking at the picture with that information in mind, it reveals a story of it's own about the ravens and the world they've explored (The stories behind most of the items such as the coins, the queens scepter). It's either that or it's my mind just being over active :P Oh, whats with the markings on the tree trunk? Looks somewhat like a snake head, paw and some other things.

As for the booklet, it's called 'Turning Point', it's a university arts booklet. I got an image though :D I'll just upload it to my Website server.

http://wolf-haven.com/Photo0045.jpg - Sorry about the low quality, I was going to take my DSLR camera but didn't, so I resorted to using my phone.

"I got my BA in Blackpool, they have a degree in Scientific and Natural History Illustration" Yeah, I noticed on top of the page, I should of looked earlier :P

You grew up on a farm, was you working on the farm maintaining the animals? Speaking of which, are you still living in the UK or have you betrayed us and gone to the US? :P

Details and expression are just... wow

Hey! There's a Victorinox in there :3

You were giving this one out in print years ago... still tacked up in my cube. People still tell me they can relate.

solo una cosa: LOL, poor ja ja jaj aja poor LOL ¬ ¬u

Do I spot a Canadian dime?

Wonderful, magical work... as always! =3

I see it too, eh?

When tricksters meet.... only one can fluff it like coyote

i can see that voodoo doll

poor coyote, the sky is falling, again and again and again.

Still awesome, 5 years on.

A relative of Wile E.Coyote perhaps!I really
love your use of colors and the details!

link is broken

Is that the crest from the never ending story

This has a very Loony Toons feel to it.
