You seldom see vultures this graceful. Great work!

This reminds me of something but I can't quite place it..

Anyway, this is awesomely awesome. :3 I love the very large fluffy collar.. x3
The baldness... makes me think of my friend Kim. Bald, elegant and beautiful!

Dark Crystal maybe?
Not that it's a bad thing at all.
It totally was reminiscent of skexies for me.

arph; I love the two tone and the SHEER you did with the back cloth is AMAZING.

this is my favorite out of the art card series, and perhaps one of my favorite pieces from you period. the subject matter is unique, the colors are outstandingly vibrant and i have a major weakness for birds!

absolutely stunning. i'll add it to my favorites happily.

is this your own character? i only hope you'll depict her more!

For the art cards I basically make up 'generic characters' but sometimes I can't help but give them names. And every now and then, they do show up in other pictures. So, I guess they are my own characters, only lacking in any big back story. If I use someone else's character, it'll for sure say so in the description. :)

As for why a bird on this one, I have a turkey vulture plush sitting on my couch and I think that sort of inspired it. Of course, the plush toy isn't as classy as Madame Carione. XD

Wow, well done! I don't think of vultures this way, but it really does work! =)

I always did have a thing for older buzzards, I mean women...

XD

your color pencil work inspires me. What kind do you use?

Prismacolors. :) I just posted a big ole FA journal with a few FAQs on the subject of the pencils.

I just saw after I posted the comment. Sorry about that. Ive been an admirer of your work since i was 13 or 14, especially your traditional art. thank you for posting the journal.

Carione. XD Awesome name.

It was almost just Madame Carrion but I though, hmm.. Carione just would sound far more fancy and fitting for her. XD Kinda like how they did it in the show Tale Spin with Don Carnage instead of just Don Karnage.

Carrion would have been too obvious.

This is beautiful, love the flowy feathers.

The sense of fun is a pleasing surprise.

Now THAT'S pure class!

this is so splendid, i'm fascinated by how fluid your figures are.

Super classy :D

incredible

very interesting. That's a species which I can't say I've seen on FA yet :)

this is so beautiful! i love vultures, and it seems like female characters are that much more uncommon than males. the colors here are awesome, and i'd say my favorite part is the fluff around her neck :0D

Elegant. I like her neck fluff.

The 'Here's to you daaahling' just really makes an awesome caption for this art card. XD Really cool design... Very nice!

ffff vullllture so pretty and elegant.

i would be pretty terrified to talk to her cause she just seems so powerfully graceful and classy.

I really like this one, such an artful rendering of a creature often overlooked, or depicted as being ugly or evil. Here, she's given glamour and good taste, and a penchant for fine things, not to mention exquisite taste in fashion. This is both a brilliant and refreshing take on an often villainized avian. :3

Wow, that's pretty amazing looking.

Kudos to you, for giving attention to an unloved species!

you don't see enough vulture/buzzard anthros around

She's quite charming, in a dead-flesh-eating way. :)

About her name, though. For a genuinely francophone effect, why not call her Madame de la Charogne? Or (even though the noun is masculine) Madame Charognard?

On the other hand, as far as I can tell, Carione means, uh... nothing. :)

coolest~

Your colors, as always, are vibrant and evocative.

i want this lady to teach me piano.

Very fashionable. The dark reds and her lavish pose add a quality flair here :)

i bet she likes her wine very well aged ;P

Ahahahah!!! I bet she does.

simpley marhvelous, mahrvelous dahling!!

great, pretty shapes and movement
