if this was bigger it would make for a great background.

The actual picture is teeny tiny, so I tend to leave the scans pretty small as well. Otherwise you start to really see the icky things that show up as a result of it being a tiny picture. x3

dang. all well.

Haha that's so true. xD

meaning I know the feeling, i scan my stuff to look the size it is IRL so you don't see the microscopic stuff.

I think it's something most traditional artists do, honestly. I've noticed that when I'm looking at paintings online, you'll often see a relatively small scan but the painting is like 20 inches across or more. One has to keep in mind that with a lot of traditional work you're expected to view from a bit of a distance, and if you get too close you'll start to see things that look a bit odd. Taking a small picture like this and scanning it in at my usual size would be like holding the picture right up to your face- it's just not how it's meant to be viewed, and you'll see lots of things you don't want to.

I guess that's my long winded way of saying... yeah! x3

Aw, cute little foxy! I love your little paintings like this. It's always so cool to see you put so much into such a small space, and that it always comes out looking every bit as good as your larger work, too! I really like the fox's rather pensive expression, and the little ferny plants behind him. It kind of looks like it could work as a little illustration for a story or a poem or something, which is really pretty neat.

It's always kind of cool to see a furry artist do the odd animal painting, too. As much as I enjoy anthro art, I do sometimes wish there was a bit more art of regular animals around. Thanks for sharing!

I keep hearing things words like 'story', 'poem' or 'children's book' whenever I post something like this. Those words pop up as much as any other. I might have to think about trying something like that some day, everybody seems to think I'm suited to it. :P

Someday I'm just going to have to suck it up and actually learn feral animals. They're just too adorable and fun not to doodle with now and then.

Probably half of it from me. I used to have this half-baked dream of doing childrens' books and having someone illustrate them, so I guess I never got out of the habit of kind of looking for one, if only as a sort of fantasy. But your style is so cute, even when you're drawing naughty stuff, and whether you do any of that stuff or not it would look great in a book somewhere.

Hah, maybe that's something we should try sometime. :P

awesome water colors

cute lil fox

I lost my voice from the cute for a good minute

it's just ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Aww, I like this one! It looks like it would be right at home on the cover of a children's book. :)

Very nicely done!

That's something I hear fairly often, I might have to try something like that some day. :P Thanks!

Well, I think you definitely have the RIGHT skill set with the watercolours to do an extremely good job of illustrating a child's book. I'd like to see it if it ever does come to pass. :)

What a cutie! Let's name him Phil!

"Oh woe is me, an artist sitting here coloring with watercolors....I hope people like this, it looks like crap."
SHUT UP IT'S FREGGIN' AMAZING

You keep practicing those ferals, mister c: !

Even if it is in the unfocused way where you pain what strikes your fancy :P

Oh, this is very nice. The fox is definitely adorable!

I love it- like something from a kid's book.

Cute Ru!

hehe I love his expression - dire makes a good point too - it does remind me of that :)

Awwwwwwwwwwwww so cute.

i"m wondering,
what the real life size of your paper ?

This picture wasn't done on any standard size of paper, but instead on scrap paper that was left over after cutting out my usual sheets. My ruler however tells me that this piece is a little under 4 x 6 inches. For funsies I measured it on my monitor, and it's actually bigger on screen than it is in real life, at least with my setup. :P

with mine is half tiner on screen ^^
i usually draw close to that size, i found book a watercolor paper which are exactly that size

Adorable! *wonders what he's looking at*
