foxamoore's amazing new project - A book of piano sheet music of some of his best music!
Please support the campaign to make this book a reality! - https://www.kickstarter.com/project.....-by-fox-amoore
The artist Fox Amoore has been composing and performing music for more than ten years. His signature New-Age/Orchestral style has found its way into video games, stage productions, and countless standing-room-only performances worldwide. With seven full length albums, including two recorded at Abbey Road Studios with world class orchestras, fans have been clamoring for the opportunity to learn to play his music for themselves.
Sofawolf Press is delighted for the opportunity to help him bring this project to fruition. This Kickstarter campaign will help us determine product demand, pay for the art and music transcription, and help us improve the quality of the final product.

As a piano-playing furry, I approve!

Great art, as usual from you! =^.^=
However, as a pianist myself, the pose looks quite weird.. so if I may voice some criticism:
- He seems to be sitting rather far off to the left, compared to the sheets, while normally both should be in the middle of the piano.
- Is he just playing two keys, and using one whole paw for each? That's quite an unusual way, especially if both notes are so close together. I would give him a few more notes to hit and take the paws further apart.
- The sheets so far down compared to his size will probably ruin his neck muscles.. for that reason, piano lids usually have a sheet shelf in the middle or even higher..

Was he really posed like that? Looks very bunched up and strained. I feel bad criticising art but it's what struck me first and the guy above had some good points. It's meant to be positive advice too, maybe going from a photo limited a more dynamic style. The rest and shading etc is very nice.
Well to be fair, hunching over a piano is a pretty tense position :P But yeah, I still have the original photo (not sure I should share it online though) and I literally copied the dimensions almost exactly, since I wanted to nail the accuracy of the piano and the musician. It's not a subject I draw often (or ever, really) so using a reference was very important.
