Artist's Comments

My last big hurrah before I got back to the commission thing. This is blue ink, mostly, with a little watercolor and color pencil thrown in for good measure. The whole thing was just an experiment in seeing what I could do with my ink and how well cardstock reacted to it. I had meant for the image to be far, far more stylized and flat than it came out, so now it's just a semi-realistic picture with very incorrect lighting. XD

I rather like the outcome, though it is somewhat flat and bizarre. But unless you have a set plan when you start with something as unforgivable as ink, it's bound to turn out a little on the wonky side. Unless you are an ink master! I am not.

O, btw, for those of you who don't follow my scraps, this is Winter, a snowy owl/arctic fox griffin. Or gryphon, if you like :P

Oh wow... that's beautiful!! The colours are so soft and soothing, and mostly in ink! I can never control that stuff. You've got sheer talent... especially in your compositions!

I have nothing to do but make art @__@ I plan on making art for a living. Which means living art. Which is what I've been doing. Heh heh.

But this has just been an unusual burst of energy directly involving avoiding working on commissions.

And I can't believe that's mostly done in ink. I would so stuff up beyond belief if I even tried that I bet XD

The blue color and the wisps from the tail are very pleasing to the eye. I really like that this was done with actual ink. It makes it extra pretty, to me anyway.
