Seconded.

Beautiful :D

very nice!

Loving the job on the background. And the fox as well, obviously. ^^

Absolutly breathtaking. I love the canyon.

Stunning picture, how did you do the backdrop?

Well it' is all painted in Artrage, but I used some reference photos of the Grand Canyon to get the appropriate colors and texture.

a very wonderful job matching it up to how it can look :)

Ah, makes sense to me ^..\\

I've stood and seen the view that's in the photo you used as refference, it's the south rim where the tower is!

Very nice!

wonderful ! A masterpiece !

THis is an awesome pic - I can tell because it is giving me vertigo!

Seriously, though - it is because it is so well done with the perspective!

thats so beautiful!

Excellent use of the soft and limited palette, here. Your landscapes are getting better, too.

(Also, those are some delicious-lookin' fox-ears, my friend.)

*bows* Thank you Riki-san =3

Awesome !

I feel the wind under my furs

This really is a gorgeous pic, the details are awesome but it keeps the same basic painterly feel without going cartoony. ^^

WOW it's an awesome pic! Lovely and touching....

Do you take commission for a project? I need to get a cover for my futur book Maybe you'll be interested?

I certainly do. You can send me a note about it here on FA. :)

nice ^^

gorgeous

Ugh, this kind of amazingness makes me just want to throw out all my art supplies and become an accountant.

I certainly hope my art would be more of an inspiration rather than an inhibitor. Never give up! You are here to be a creator. So you create. Its good to criticize yourself so that you can learn and progress. But not so much as to lose your way. I know you can do it. Just keep at it ^^

awe man that color is absolutely amazing! great job!

:) amazing! What did you use?

Gorgeous! It really is an awe-inspiring place.

Gorgeous.

beautiful job Fluke. this is among the best work i've seen from you :) (not the best, but up there near the top!)

can you email a full resolution of this?

Sadly I cannot. It's a commission you see. The image rights are not entirely mine.

ahh ok, no problem ^^

simply brilliant :3

Wow, beautiful.

Wow. Great job on the background of the Grand Canyon. Great work. Beautiful.

Instant fav.

Awesome <3

This looks like it took a long time and effort.

Absolutely amazing...

Simply stunning. I love it. :D

oh wow hun. I absolutely love this *instant fave*

oh wow! you know, i lived in Arizona for almost 10 years and i never have been to the Grand Canyon.

Hi :3

heh you make me smile

*kiss*

Spectacular view n background :D breathtakingly sweet ^^! Awesome work! Need i say more? lolz *keeps looking at the view*

You paint landscapes very well! Lovely work!

amazing work, as always Fluke. You're backgrounds are becoming quite superb, I got lost in the beauty of this piece. Very well done mate =)

Incredible work!

AWESOME!!!

Amazing, simpily amazing!

*is speechless*

I was at grand canyon only about a month ago! I really like how you made the background, it looks almost like I'm there, it's even got that light haze to it :3

Again, words cannot express how incredible this is.

love it

This was fun with no end. The first WIP took me already aback. And besides all the changes we went though (Fluke has a hell of patience) I spend more and more hours drowning in it. This one really fires my imagination.

I've a thing for lonely and wide landscapes and travel to the great canyons is something I want to do for a long time by now. Someday I will do. Well, until then this image will keep me at mood :)

It was inspired by three images/scenes: One illustration from the book "Raecheis - Der weisse Wolf" (I guess there's no english title available of the book). The scene from Simpsons where Homer sits on his car, watching the canyons far away in a night full of bright stars. And the end scene from the movie "Contact" where Ellie sits at the edge of the canyons, thinking of her past.

Fluke: thank you a lot. This one means lot to me :)

Nice!

That's...that's the Grand Canyon. I used to visit when I was little...I miss it so much...damn it, now I'm tearing up. ^ ^;

Stunning is right.

Beautiful :)

Beautiful scene Fluke! Amazing detail all around :D

Wonderfull!

Es simpatico :) Very nice!

Absolutely beautiful color. I'm not one to often favor non-adult work so understand how much I admire this piece.

Very nice^^

hAAAAAAAAAAAAWW

This is beautiful.

HOLY!
That's amazing!
You sir, have just reminded me why I watched you, (though it was not forgotten)

Very excellent, i hope to make backgrounds like yours some day

Wow, this is beautiful, Fluke. It's the kind of thing that makes me want to keep drawing. Keep pushing forward... Wonderful work, thanks for this, it's truly inspirational ^^

It's more than just beautiful, it's breathtakingly gorgeous. Bravo sir!

absolutly awesome.

A MAGNIFICENT canyon perspective, Fluke! :O

I like how you drew the character's shirt; it defines the wind's invisible presence. ^^

OMFG this is absolutely gorgeous. The canyon is amazingly done

You gave the Grand Canyon* a magnificent justice in this piece, being raised in Arizona I was sadly only able to see this natural wonder once.

*Guessing it as the Grand Canyon due to similarity and layout of the land-

Pawsitively magnificent.

Another nice one for a wallpaper. :)

fanfuckingtastic.

i gota commision you some time

That is a beautiful piece of artwork. Makes me wish I can hang that up on my living room wall ^^ Will you be doing more scenery art like this? If so, I got a good one fur ya :3

That's lovely, Fluke. Really nice.

Oh so very beautiful. :3 *Murrs and swoons before falling onto the bed with a happy sigh.*

Awesome artwork^^I do love the landscape:3

Beautifully sharp and amazingly detailed. You're a truly inspiring artist :3

That looks awesome! Very nice work man ^_^

Another amazing piece, my friend has the collection of when you started, you improved alot

Oh wow, your landscape art is amazing!

Gorgeous

reminds me alot of the "do your worst" piece you made a while ago (position and character)

background is awesome! (did you take a real pic' to work as ref?) stunning and colorful =)
I'm not too fond of his fur though

the texture and background are beautyful must of taken a while but its allworth the time^^

breathtakign view an very well illustrated too!!

That's beautiful.

In addition to the above comments - finally, more images I can effectively use as desktop wallpapers!

damn cool one

*just blinks a couple of times, completely lost for words*

yes such rough beauty and the grand canyon doesnt look half bad either

Looks amazing Fluke :)

Oh. My. God. Fluke.
Do you have any idea how inspirational this is? I didn't think this would hit me emotionally at all, but it did. I almost cried, I'm serious. The lighting, the textures, and the general concept, its just beautiful. Absolutely breathtaking.
When you become famous I can say that I was one of the people who watched you evolve. Imagine what you are going to make this next year, there year after that, and so on. I can't wait to see what you have in store for everyone. I love you Fluke!!

Flat terrain save for mountains in the distance and giant canyons that ya can't see till yur up close, just like a real desert.

The background is a thing of beauty...well done fluke

looks fantastic!
what a view *w*

what a stunningly beautiful background.

this perspective is flawless.

Beautiful

impressive! fave'd :D

Definately another wonderful piece. I've worked as a volunteer at the Grand Canyon. You definately did a great job providing the details of this park. Also the fox looks like hes deep in thought. I love how you caught the feeling of the moment. Keep up the great work hun ^^.

Wow, nice.

And yea, new background. :3

Absolutely beautiful!!! This piece reminds me of when I was a cub...I was camping with my family on the west side of the Grand Canyon. My mother and I ended up waking up early, and we sat and watched the sun rise over the eastern rim of the canyon. There was fog in the canyon, and seeing the sun rise over the horizon on the eastern side was just magical. That is what this piece reminds me of. Wonderful job.

Amazing background.

Wow, love it

Beautiful!

Such beautiful lighting

Really dig the colors and lighting in this piece.... canyons are easy to love I think, and you did a great job rendering this one out. :)

Photoshop?

Just to reiterate something I said before, your vistas and portraits are slowly filling my wallpaper folders.

Unbelievable work. Words can not describe how amazed I am. Great job again as always Fluke!

pieces like this, the ones that aren't porn, that aren't meant to turn you on or just get a fave because they're sexy, these seem to be totally lost in this fandom. Hardly ever appreciated are the pieces you could hang on your wall and just go "wow.. that's beautiful.." This is an amazing piece, and I hope I find more like it.

That Background is bloody brilliant! Unquestionably amazing.

Thats just beautiful. ^^

A landscape with furry interest

ttly love how you used the colors to create focal point. bold, strong colors for the char, soft and faded colors for the background. i love this.

I loved this so much I tried to fave it twice, oops!

THAT...IS...AMAZING...

Very nicely done

I love the west

the textures!!

The fox character there is way too much. It eats up the beautiful landscape painting. It needs something more simple, mayby a third colour beside blue and orange. But if you need to keep the character there, the composition should be much more dramatic to give the character the required attention. such like making the character smaller in the composition or making the image way more narrow.

That is freaking awesome!

looks like I've just found a new wallpaper!

It's been a long, long time.

This still has its place on my loving room wall as a framed jumbo print and on evenings of melancholy I still enjoy drowning in this picture.

Thank you so much. Still. After all the time gone by.
