god you are amazing

Look at the greys! You totally nailed this colour scheme.

You lovin' all up on greys of late.


...they are some damn fine greys.

You weren't supposed to see that comment!

This is Spectacular!

How long does it roughly take you to do a digital piece like this? The amount of detail that you put into these artworks are just amazing.

Also the way you do fur is prob. my favorite way I see it rendered - so chunky and clumpily perfect ah

If I didn't screw about so much it'd probably be something like a week of evenings, but I restarted a few times so it dragged on quite a bit!


It certainly didn't take me as long as it took to reply to your question ;-]!

A dreamy picture that transports me far far away. The city in the background and the ships on the water in particular are exquisite, reminding me of dreams of Byzantium and late antiquity.

Mon dis be so lovely :D :D

Everything about this is just a work if art! The lighting, grays, strokes, color, background, shading, texture, etc etc. great work here. Absolutely magnificent

I really adore how you painted the fur. The colours on this is superb.

this is way to wonderful! excuse me as i stare at this in awe

Holy shit. this reminds me of old Boris Villigo paintings

NNGRGF your art 8U

I can't stop staring at this!

You should use this gift to tell an amazing story. It's not everyday we see such quality on FA. I would love to see a comic or graphic novel :)

Absolutely fantastic work. Words fail me. :O Love the glow of the water and the sense of scale that arises from the depth/separation of the foreground and background. Quite stunning.

I want to read the novel (scifi?) that this would be the cover for. 8)

Holly Hell this is awesome!

*giggles* You make us run-out of words to say "OMG, Amazing!!!"!

what could only be more interesting and pretty than this picture is what they seem to be looking at

Nice atmosphere. Absolutely amazing!

Tell me this is to be the cover of a book. WOW.

Everything in this is INCREDIBLE!!!
The lighting, the scenery, the expressions, the fur, the colors, the reflections, the imagination, the scaling, the perspective...
AMAAAAAAZING!

This is DREAM-LIKE..absolutely ethereal and enchanting~

Gorgeous artwork~! Definitely love following you and your developments!

Your work is always a treat, but this piece is truly... mesmerising. I apologise if this isn't part of the standard repertoire of art critique, but I actually started salivating while looking at it. :) You make sheer panache look so effortless and casual!

It's beautiful. It's genuinely beautiful. Thank you for sharing it.

That looks SO much like it could be a cover from the 1960's or 1970's on a book from Del Ray or Ballentine ^^

The details are simply incredable, as always!!

So absolutely incredible!

this is absolutely epic! I love it...

V.

Such a beautifull piece o3o. Now I'm wondering what they are looking at...

Truly an incredible piece!

One of those pictures that begs you to stop a while and think about it.

Love love LOVE the lighting effects in this! Wow! Fur texture is superb too! Is this related to a story or novel project?

Thank you! It is related to a wider story so hopefully there is more on this to come!

This is so easy to stare at for ages <3

Man, I'd love to read the story this goes to or to write one myself lol

This is so so good. Your fur is so realistic looking, a lot of people don't bother making them look, well, furry. You put the fur back in furry.

Very nicely done. Good pose, composition, color.

One quibble: If something has their attention enough to turn the sitter in place, would not their ears point toward it? (or away, depending on the nature of what they view)

Holy goodness this is flipping amazing! I would cuss but this piece is so much better then cussing. WOW!

Just impressive.

Very much so.

Well done. Thank you.

Only have two what? I HAVE TO KNOW!! XD

Tell me when you find out, because I want to know too.

all in this artwork is really spectacular. First the anatomy and expression of both characters, the design of clothes matches so perfectly with the myshtic and magic of the city in the background.

I want this on my wall

This is amazing. I second Defago. I want this framed.

WHOA!! SO AWESOME!!!

I did not think this was digital on first look!

This must have taken so long to do! The lighting and the composition of this scene are so beautiful. Well done!!

truly wonderful!

Wye Knott? :3

omg

The storytelling of this, to the aesthetic is so well thought of and executed, it is just such a strong piece of illustration.

I have to compliment you on your wonderful composition. What I strongly appreciate (and this may not be the same with everyone) is the atmosphere in a work, and more often than not that atmosphere is achieved by a strict colour palette. You can use every colour under the sun, and you may produce a great work, but it rarely do you finish with something that has the same moody or emotionally evoking sensitivity. It's why a lot of black and white photos are so striking. Your use of colour is delightfully understated and not overly saturated. The subtlety of complementaries is very good as well, particularly in the building behind the character on the left in contrast with his garment as in the very foreground at the bottom right. What also perked my interested is the cityscape in the background where the buildings are ever so slightly at an angle. This makes the picture appear to be in motion, almost a sense of unsteadiness which is not commonly achieved in pictures that seem so still.

These are all probably things you are aware of being at your skill level so I hope I haven't bored you with my dribble! Haha. All that aside, I just adore your character design.

Keep up the amazing work! :)

Cheers for the great comment! I certainly agree with you on the benefits of using a limited colour palette, that is something I'd like to push more in the future. Admittedly the buildings aren't supposed to be leaning so I can't unsee that now! But I don't think I'd have done them any different even if I knew at the time :-]. Thank you for your insight!

You're welcome! Sorry I brought up the leaning buildings haha. That's probably gonna bug you now, but as I said I think it adds to the picture. Lovely work. :)

There is an amazing atmosphere, and the characters are interesting; I'll definitely have to keep an eye on your work ;)

THE MOST AMAZING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN! OMG this is soooo amazing! You have incredible talent and I am so glad I saw this. I love the rouch feel of it yet there is so much emotion and detail. Really amazing work! Your awesome!

Incredible piece!

nigur
