Bleak.

... but beautiful.

Yes bleak but very mighty ovo ... I would love to have a larger version of this, dragon.

The original size is pretty large and quite sketchy looking, but I can send it to you if you like.

Brilliant! love the feel of this

Thanks Sparky :)

Darn mouse button and cat >v>

Anyway, It's nice with the blue in the picture, it really adds some nice color to an otherwise gloomy scene ovo. I'd love to talk about this picture with you when you're on :O

The thumbnails of your art always look like photos... and in this case, it's a picture of a place i'd love to be. Fog is wonderful, and i can almost smell it! The best thing is, i can see the curve of the land in the distance, clifflike, but only just barely (Actually i don't know if you intended that slightly darker part to be land through the fog - but that's the awesome part of art like this, the imagination takes it and finds things that may or may not actually be there.)

It's somewhere I wouldn't mind being either.
Thanks muchly.

Aww, I just like swamps mostly, but that's gorgeous.

this is an awesome pic. it is a tad sad, but I see the hope and ray of light out in the fog. perhaps a friend or lover =^.^=

One can hope.
Thank you.

The fog you've done here is exceptional...I really like that, and it fits ideally with the environment you got goin' on there. But of course my favorite part of this is the zarathus in the middle C: It brings me great joy, as always, since I will always be fascinated by them. It looks...either meek or curious about something...the pose is *fantastic* and I love how you did the ears back like that. It adds a lot to the entire feel of things. The low stance and the way you made the body almost serpentine is awesome, I think -- are zarathus slinky creatures? Either way...I like.

Meek or curious sounds about right.. that actually describes me quite well xD
And thank you. Zarathus is long and wiggly. I imagine watching it run would be hilarious.

Oh my gosh, the atmosphere! This is wonderful.

Thank you!
What is that thing in your icon by the way? o_o I'm seeing it pop up in icons all over the place.

It's a Ripper from Super Metroid.

 oniontrain and I started some horrid meme, I think.

Wow. This is wonderful. I love the background. The trees and shoreline look amazing. This pic really has an "ominous" feel to it, though. Great job at conveying an uncertain and broody atmosphere and emotion.

This sends shivers down my spine.

Ahhh, the close cool feeling of the thick, foggy air that casts a hushing blanket on the world. The soft murmurs of dew sprinkling to the still waters. All that wonderful, silent, stillness to enjoy. It makes me want to crawl into the image and perch on a limb to enjoy it all.

The way you managed to get the fog to look dense and patchy along with those subdued reflections is amazing.

I'm sad that it's not bigger. Thats some nice atmosphere you got there..

Really love the emotion you get from the picture. Gorgeous textures as always.

This is very nice, and the misty mood is perfect. Try to publish it in some zine!

I like the trees on the bank of the lake, and the dark evening mist sets mood ever so perfectly! Wonderful piece!!

=O I love this! Would I be possible to get a higher res copy somewhere. I totally want this on my desktop. x3

Sure thing, I'll touch it up a bit and note you with a bigger version. I'm happy you like it ^_^

Yays! =D Thankies. n.n

I would like a larger version for my desktop as well. I love the fog and the atmosphere of this picture.

Wow, I love the fog and the atmosphere of the image, its beautiful!

:3 any chance of a higher res copy?

Thanks!
Larger version here - http://www.zarathus.com/outlook-large.jpg

:D! thank you!

Nice one,
So much to see and do, it's almost overwhelming. Better to just sit here and think about something else. At leas that way you can be sure you didn't waste your time doing something trivial. yes....? What's that?!

Wow, I love the mood and the calm colors and feel to this. Really interesting pose too. o.o

Wow, amazing. I love the atmosphere of this piece.

Awsome atmosphere with those dark colors and shades, and the trees and foggy background with the muddy shoreline looks so realistic, like a place you might find in the real world.
And you put a zarathus in it, even better! :D

It's is a really nice wallpaper actually, even though it's a little low res it is still beautiful!

This matches "On being blue" by The Art of Noise so much! So glad I was listening to it while browsing.

Really nice (although dark and a little sad) picture. I have to agree that it would make an interesting wallpaper.

Love the atmosphere to this

Very lovely!

Far away from being common stuff and yet giving a very natural impression, just like looking trhou spyglasses in the morning in the swamps.

Would you mind creating a roleplay character based on this piece of art?

Thank you :)
And what do you mean by based on this picture? If its the setting you mean, I wouldn't mind at all. The creature depicted is my own character however, I'd prefer others weren't roleplaying something based on its appearance.

I meant the creature, but I wasn't aware it is your character. Of course I would not copy someone elses character. I just got many nice ideas looking on this cutie, so if it would have been just a glimps of a race or a random idea, I would have created something on it.

This is so barren and alone...amazing job of putting emotion into visual form.

This character is hawt!

I love this image.

Reminds me of several riverside scenes from my childhood. You can believe I crawled out onto those logs too, especially during weather conditions as beautiful as that mist.

If I could frame this picture and put it on my wall, I would.

The movement... Oh the movement it PERFECT! *favs*

^_^ Thank you.

fuckin a zarathus... you are amazing~

FALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!! XD... very nice

This picture has the best swampy feel for me so far :3 - very well done, especially the texturing of the water. The amount of reflections, the color, and the fog seems to be just right. A hard thing to do, and i admire you for doing it this good! (I tried, and so far no much luck :p)
