I love the colours used in the background, it really makes the subject stand out. Great composition.

I'm honestly really glad you think so, it took me quite some time to get the colors right, so I'm glad to hear the work was not in vain :) Thank you very much!

I know what you mean, working with colours and emotion can be challenging, depending on what you're striving for.

daaaaw! 83 the otter is so cute!

I think it's impossible for an otter not to be cute :D

Haha at least the breaks were also being productive :)
Cute work, Zhin really has some great ideas

Yes! Maybe I should only draw otters and cute little baby animals from now on! xD
Kivan is definitely a cool character to draw :)

Can't thank you enough for this. I really like how this one turned out :D

And I can't thank you enough for letting me draw an awesome character like this! :D

The otter is so cute x3 and I really love the fish faces.

Otters are always cute :D I'm glad you like them, thanks! :)

Ow, small bitey fishies chewing on his tail must hurt, but I'm sure is worth it to not be hungry.

I'm sure it is. At least he doesn't have to get his fur wet ;)

Ooh, nice. I especially love the detail of the snow!

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you think so! :)

Otter sind toll!
der Fisch ganz rechts sieht aber nichtmehr so freundlich aus, könnte wehtun :D

wölfische Grüße ;3

This creature in your advertisement encouraged me to your gallery!

I like how the otter's colours continue the general 'cool' colour scheme in the picture... yet the warm colours are subtle continuations of the Sun and the branch. I really like the yellow lighting on the otter's purple fur. Speaking of such, the dark purple is a breakthrough from the lightly-coloured atmosphere. The curving of the otter's motion is also pleasant. I am rather surprised at how expressive you made the fish... even the dead fish! A closer look reveals the cracks in the ice and the print on the snow on top of the branch.

I don't think I ever got such an elaborate comment! Thank you very much, I'm glad you noticed the little details and different lightings :) I like putting in little details like the fish that you might not see immediately, but upon a closer look.

Thank you very much for your kind words! This piece is still one of my personal favorites, it was a lot of fun to work on, so I'm extra happy when people seem to like it :)

Clever Otter... CHITTER! *carnage*

That clever otter should better be careful :D

Be sure they aren't piranhas you mean? XD

Kinda like that, yeah :D Maybe not sharp piranha teeth, but... that fish on the right probably shouldn't be messed with, either.
(I have to admit it's a bit hard to see at this size)

Yeah, those are some fair chompers it has!

Chompers is the perfect word for those :D

Thanks! XD

Nice artwork

Thank you :)

no problem.

I loved everything in this drawing, from the style and expressions to the beautiful coloring and lighting.

You have done a wonderful job in this commission! Keep it up!

Thank you very much, I'm glad you think so :) To this day this remains one of my favorite commissions, it was so much fun to draw!

You're very welcome, Jukajo! :)
No doubt about it, you've put a lot of effort in this artwork!
Also otters are simply adorable creatures.

They are! I was super glad to get to draw an otter :D
