Very well detailed work, Blotch. ;)

i must say these are just wonderful Blotch. I really like the night scene.

Nice detail on buildings adn furs

Awesome, only thing I would change is to make the building lights dimmer. Not many lightbulbs in this place and time. :)

*nods* My only critique as well.

ew snow >:C

I really really really really really can't wait for this! :D

i just love the details on your pics... very nice studies!

Try the buildings in Santa Rosa Arizona, in the Rockies, It looks more 1880's, least it did when I was there in the winter of 2007.

You're real master....

I love these scenes, very cosy <3

I'm guessing then that in this setting beavers aren't hunted for their pelts?

Beautiful scenery, your art has always been amazing, but I think you are both improving. @____@ Awesome work.

Heehee, saw these on your site awhile back! I'm super excited, I've always been obsessed with frontier-era Alaska, like around 1900. Life up there was something different from down where I live.

It's interesting to think that a lot of our modern technology and trasport still falls second-best to a team of huskies in Alaska in wintertime.

Reminds me of Skagway, Alaska in winter.

Wow, extremely nice... I'm not the best at cityscapes, or architecture of any kind, so this is really impressive to me!

Those are so much like the real thing :D

Now you are playing my radio station!

I love these kinda buildings! I like the way the rugged simplicity can also yield a certain elegance.

Wardy

Holy crap, that's so amazingly detailed :O

Excellent work

Epic, Blotch! You're having a lot of fun with this one, aren't ya? =D

Looks like they came straight out of an Architectual design magazine or something. Very impressive work.

very good perspective! It must have taken some research to come up with the building designs, too - they fit the atmosphere very well.

Very nicely done.. Makes me feel cold looking at it

"Snow...The furry frontier. These are the views of an observant fur. his life long mission; to explore all maners of strangeness, to seek out new ideas and draw out his visualizations, to boldy express himself like never before!"

Peace dude!

excellent research and perspective. I wish more people put more thought into their comics as such. Being as sound about the environment as well as the character design is just as important. I hope to see you play around with shots, story and what not. But I'm pretty sure you will.

I'm so going to buy it when it releases :3

Wonderfully detailed work, with a good bit of study behind it! The night shot has a particularly pleasant atmosphere to it.

Of course, this could be the first image on FA by a popular artist tagged "Wood" that didn't get a billion hits... but I could be jumping the gun.

Btw, not related to the pic, but love the icon and remember that movie, though not the title. :p

I am certainly looking forward to the release

VERY nice work!

You sure are in the old western mood aren't ya?

Excellent! Love the details, some of which hint at "Pale Rider". Although this was a great example of a small mining community and a growing "town", the movie "Open Range" has to be my favorite for an overall town set...while "Paint Your Wagon" also rates right up there for period costume. I love it! (Part of the reason why I do "Fur Trade" re-enactments, as well as Cowboy action shooting...

"Species: Wood"

.. not channeling Ursula Vernon, are we? =:)

And that setting does look so fitting for an Arctic Hare.. might there be a lagomorph somewhere in the story?

Why yes, there is a rabbit later in the story! :]

are there any otters? ^^ hope so

This reminds me a lot of some of the work by Yukon artist Chris Caldwell (viewable here: http://www.caldwellart.com ) When I lived in Alaska she had produced work for the Yukon Quest dogsled race and some rather humorous posters (such as the dogs looking over a map while the musher and lead dog are searching the landscape.)

I'm keeping an eye on this project, it looks like it'll be quite interesting indeed. You've got the right look for the buildings of that time frame.

I cannot wait for this comic to come out.
Well done in every aspect. That's all I have to say. Well done!

Im getting that Balto vibe^^
i like that^^

thats cool different places

The Nord is Norse for north. The scenes here reminde me of Alaska.

Freakin' amazing display of perspective and lighting. I love it!

nice detailed looks right
=)

o3o
you know, at this point, you should start sharing that thar talents

unbelieveable

Awesome details, can't wait for the story ^.^

murrrrrr, wonderful details <3

The quality and detail is absolutely excellent! I could see a story book of this stuff being sold in major book stores.

Great. :D

love the detail in this and the landscapes. I certainly say i truly loved that when reading through Dogs Days. You r ability to go through and put so much work into the characters and just as much, if sometimes not more work into the background is absolutely amazing. It really lends to the story telling as a whole i think too ^^ I certainly look forward to this new novel of yours. :>

really great backgraunds and places!! =D

It's like Jack London meets the Furry Fandom! X3

Saweeeeet!! Must go check out that link now! :DD


-Temp

Man if only you could find an expert animator and you two could make a cartoon. ^_^ Great art + animation cartooning = Awesomenesssssssss! :D

Ah, the place of my birth! Granted, I didn't live in a small town like that, though I believe they are still in abundance. Definitely strikes a spot for me, good job on it, too!

A comfy place ^^

I'ts that a penguin in pic 1?

Incredible good lookin' scenery

That's absolutely incredible. And a nice reminder of the detail you put in every single line or shading of your entire works, foreground _and_ background. *purr* :X)

awsome pic!!!!

the settings look pretty good

Kewl beans!

stoked on the perspective, especially the nighttime shot of the cottongrass hotel. Excellently captured! But seein it an the dry goods store made me wonder- this is set in alaska, frozen north, all they had was woodstoves, right? Is it accurate to depict buildings with so many windows then? I may be entirely wrong, but it just seems impractical- they would have lost so much heat!
