I walk through the desert, hide from the sun
All that I desire is you
Occasional water cools my thirst
All that I desire is you
[lyrics by Skillet]
*this is an idea that has been in my head for awhile. giving water to a mysterious stranger, who you see on your travel through the desert. he is grateful to see that your heart was kind to offer him some of your own precious water.

Awesome work with this Zen, favorited as always ;3I love how you did the water, must have been a little tough to think up at first. At least it would be for me :P
Seriously I just feel it shallow and small of a person to do a first or second, cause no one cares really. At least not in a positive way.
no dirty thoughts just this picc has something kinda holy (I think its the face and that clear blue eyes)
Also, I really like this picture zen. Your technique is fabulous, the furry community is lucky to have you. :D
Those eyes PIERCE!
Awesome again^^
adorable.
and thanks for the idea! *searches for skillet on spotify*
<33
And didn't know you liked Skillet dude.. *hugs* Great band.. And Jesus was known as the lion of Judah so you got a A+ on that Zen..
Great work as always and fav..
The facial expression is captivating, well done!
I love the costume too... however minimal :)
in like 30 minutes?
lovely art as always ;)
Your work never ceases to amaze me
Your graphics are incredible, Zen.
Would you give precious water to a stranger like that? I would...
it's been something of a privilege to watch as you improved over the years, you are an incredible artist. and yet i feel there's more improvement to come.
the greatest respect to you my fine sir, you're the best artist i know!
blue eyes........O.O
*mesmerized*
it's all beautiful, beyond this land's
i have no words to describe, nor through poetry, as im not that good.... yet
>@.=.@<
That is... simply insanely amazing!!!
December by Collective Soul
as I think it's very fitting. Will have to look up your song though and see what I think. :)
god i'm such a perv
........
..........HA !! KYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH !!!!
ok I don't even have enough words in my English vocabulary to say ... to sat how much this is amazingly amazing !!! This is trully beautiful ...wonderful !
No, I like it. As per the usual. you do lions well. Among, you know, art in general.
I can almost feel his tongue on my hands!
Damn this is photo-realistic!
Though everyone must be shouting right now that it's "Oh so sexy", I think that I can get a small symbolism that goes beyond from "ZOMG IT'Z DRINKUN WUTTERGH,ITZ OH SO SECSI! D: MUST FAP AND FAV!".
First, the Lion. I must say that I really don't like Lions with a PASSION, since I consider them too higher and to meaningful to stain them. Maybe it's this inner meaning behind it (Kingdom,Kether,Crown, Aslan, and many more).
I like how it looks in this picture, since for the very first time it's not completely natural (Like Balaa's Artwork, which I love) and it's not yiffing like there it wasn't no tomorrow. It's drinking, it's thirsty. He seems grateful, happy to find someone who can help him, relaxed.
The water is maybe something that bugs me. But because I can't stop being symbolic, and think of the Wine. The Lion is related to Heavens, and at church they use wine, doesn't?
Maybe, correct me if I'm wrong, your "water" is more like "wine". In the meaning that it has more life than common water (After all, Wine was the drink of Dionysus, which is related as Bacchus to fertility,and so, to Life).
The hands are giving, but they don't seem fearful or with bad intentions, or hidden meanings behind the offering. I really like them, they see relaxed and generous, like if that water is coming out from it's heart, from it's soul, to help someone he maybe doesn't know.
I don't really like your art (Though I think I watch you). But this is one of that exceptions that I make, since I can see a deeper meaning.
One thing I do know is, if he were looking at me with those eyes, and touching my arm like that, I would have a hard time holding still enough to hold that water. He's gorgeous. And I mean that in the simplest sense -- I mean... I don't want to take my eyes off him, but at the same time, dirty thoughts aren't possible, for me, and that fact right there is really great.
Occasionally.
Reminds me of the part in The Little Prince, with the well in the desert, the water being something for the soul.
The perspective, the emotion, the power, that paw on the viewer’s wrist... It’s all so wonderful. I could probably give you a verbal tongue bath about this piece for the next hour or so, but you’ve probably heard it all already. : )
Marvelous work. Favorite things are definitely the paw and the scars, especially the one on the bridge of his snout. Will there be a desktop version of this? We’d all love to see one. =^w^=
But that brings me to my point. THIS. THIS piece, is the kind of work I long to see in this fandom. Once upon a time it existed. now, it's not so much. This piece tells a story and more than that, it shows a deep and profound moment, charged with subtle yet intense emotion and depicting a connection for which there are no words.
This. Is art.
I don't see that enough in this fandom, so thank you. Honestly, if you did more work of this nature, you would be one of the finest artists online today.
I know that means probably very little, but I hope that some day you conciser balancing out all the yiff fodder with more of this kind of deep, impression driven work.
Good luck, and cheers.
...late... but THIS!!
...what I don't agree with is that slight hint of sarcasm I detect in your reply.
Oh well, can't win them all, I guess...
This is why so many small issues get blown out of proportion in this fandom. No one can let a small, and completely explainable misunderstanding between too people go. they have to attack each other. What I said was friendly fire at worst. Your explanation was really enough, but then you tie it up with a personal attack, chastising me for my sarcasm.
Ya see, that's \lame in my book and where as you would have has my jovial apology, you now have a weak one and my contempt.
This is how non-issues turn into bomb shells and in no place to I see it more than the furry fandom. People need to stop taking themselves and everything someone says so seriously.
I can't, nor do I care to, be friends with someone who does that. Can you?
So I was sarcastic. Big deal. I thought you were being so too. Yay for the inability to convey emotion in text. Cheers to over reacting. *facedesk*
Yes, you did use sarcasm, and yes, I thought it was unnecessary.
not an attack...
Anyway, thanks for the elucidation and let us 'not' overreact, as you said. Contrary to common beliefs, Internet is 'NOT' serious business...
...
...or how ever teenagers these days say it...
thank
One of your best Works ... no porn ... but not less genious ... thats the way it goes ^^
What makes me curious: what's behind you often draw humans reaching out their hands (in every way) for/to the animals....
A Place to relax and escape the heat.
a chair to rest his sand burnt feet.
all to keep him nice and calm
and rest his body till the morning dawn
I'd love having that lion knocking on my door.
I'd love having that lion knocking on my door.
Funny coincidence that you choose a song by Skillet for this pic. Skillet's a christian rock band.
Thanks for this cute picture

This is like a friggin' DREAM I had three years ago! But with a feral white tiger...
...and the liquid was his SALIVA!...
!!!!!!!!!!
but how did you fill the water you have been carrying through the desert in your own hands? ^^
I mean really. This is is insane. +faves.
And here I thought I was the only one who even knew who Skillet WAS.
I really like how the water effects and his eyes came out. Really nice soft coloring all around.
It's the eyes. While indeed, there is a deep sense of sensuality, even sexuality to the image - there is also more - a look of thanks - a look of knowledge and wisdom, of a king or creature of power drinking from hands of someone who, while they might be slaves, are showing more kindness than a hundred rich men.
Thank you, Zen, I now respect you as a true artist.
Fantastic work, love his eyes! Very little I dare find fault with =P
What beautiful eyes~! <3
I really like it cuz' I want peace between animals and humans. I don't want humans kill animals like today, I don't want the animals suffer.
That look of his eyes told me, deep in my soul, MERCY AND FRIENDSHIP
I... I.... I want a good future like this image. A life with FREEDOM BETWEEN ANIMALS AND HUMANS
