this is so amazing I cant wait to see it wen its done

Thank you! ^.^

Emine, you are fucking amazing.

Thank you!!

This remains just about the most awesome thing I've seen.

WOW!!!!!

This is definitely going to take a while too complete... but it will be epic! Also I love that the master of this piece is right in the top center, Mrs. Ermine!

A lot of creatures.

Kind of looks like a furry version of Total Rickall: http://i.imgur.com/ly7ak4e.jpg

This is amazing and I love seeing all the individual pictures to see how you progress with the art! Are you doing this for free? I hope that's not a stupid question, it's just you mentioned this was for people you work with (or friends, one of the two) and I wasn't sure if you were getting reimbursed in some way for this. I hope so, because seeing how much time this takes I would feel so bad as a friend who got this for free!

Aww, thank you! I am getting paid for it, absolutely ^.^ I'm not making all that much per hour, but that's my own choice - I'm sure they still would have been happy with it if it had half this much detail, I just can't help giving 100% when it's a fun project for people I care about :3

Really impressive job so far. It's going to be quite something when finished.

-One hell of an ambitious project!
Love the wips- nice to get a window into your process.
Really great to see someone undertake something like this!
-Wonder how many hours you'll have into it when it's finished...?

Hey question; why do you paint it all in greyscale first? It just seems like an extra step and a whole lotta work to me, but I'm assuming I must just be missing a reason for its importance?

This thing is crazy!

Fantastic stuff :)

Definitely one of the coolest things I've seen all year.

Ermine, I have to say this is one of the best series of pics from you, probably ever. It's absolutely beautiful.

Awww Thank you so much! It's an important piece to me, not least because it might well be the most ambitious painting I ever do; so that means a lot <3
