Description
The title is a tad bit obscure so let me explain. It seems so often our lives are tangled in trivial matters, arguments, and things that end the end just dont matter or shouldnt matter. Yet that does not make them any easier to deal with. This piece was done for several reasons, one as a means to escape some life stress and other work that I should probably be doing instead and secondly for my best friend/sister in the entire world Trish . Her life of late has been the epitomy of hell, its all the small things that add up to make your life a living inferno of flames. I love you girl and I hope the best for you in these hard times...and ya always know you have me to lean on. Its funny but ever since we became friends almost every cougar reminds me of her....and especially fuzzy little cubbies.So this one goes to you, I think your life and art has a lot of meaning and beauty. Just keep at it! I suppose that goes for all of us..sometimes we have to remember the simple good things in life to keep us going through the bad.
As for technical details. I wasnt going for true realism persay..just started painting and hoped it would turn out. I enjoyed this piece, was definetly nice R&R for the soul.
Prints: 8x10, 10$ US plus shipping. The print will NOT be watermarked.
I'm sorry for the watermark, my hands were tied, I had no choice due to some very inconsiderate people.

Its gorgeous.
The perspective of it is incredibly well done. Its picturesc and almost has the complete realicticness of a picture come to think of it.
The claws were drawn beautifully... I can't bring myself to find anything wrong with 'em whatsoever. Its perfect.
The face is also very nice... but it lacks some of the realisticness the rest of the piece holds. Which isn't even a bad thing since it adds so much to the whole style of the picture and... quite frankly... people would question it being a drawing. xD
Also... great job with the fur and rock. xP

I'm really sorry, but I've no time right now... going to have to fav this now and hopefully remember to come back and comment more later... I just cleared 800+ deviations out of my watch without even viewing them, but had to drop in on this one. Excellent work Balaa... as usual

hehe seems you are in the same boat as me. I just cleared over 300 out of my watch...ce la vie! I simply dont have the time to go and comment on each seeing as how behind I am on EVERYTHING. No worries, your fave is just as appreciated as your always insightful comments. I do believe yours made it 300 . WOOT! Thank you!!!

and very deserving of every one!
I do love the focus on this one. You've demonstrated with a profound clarity that background needs not lose importance with detail. It both brings attention to and accentuates the subject, which dominates the piece nicely. Your amazing detail is flawless, which is no small feat when such attention is drawn to it.

Your fur work is the most detailed and elegant I have ever seen. It is realisticlly beautiful but has such a great stylistic artistic bent to it. And the head of the little cub has to be the best, the folds of fur and the lights glow really epitomizes your talent.

This kinda has a profound impact on anyone really, a sort of deeper understanding and what the like. I also adore the cougar cub, very cute and soft looking! And kudos to being able to draw/paint rocks I have a hell of a time with them :<

You are just so amazing. Here's another one that looks just on the edge of real... you can just almost reach into the picture and pet him. Your work with fur has to be done with a Goddess's brush. I'm going to be seeing you in coffee table books ... I just know it.

Lovely detail.. and realistic fur, especially the nice clumps below the cub's neck. <3 The cub looks so innocent and it seems as if it can take anything in the world in its own stride without having to understand much about the world.
The rock's fantastic as well, the cracks, shading and colouring's great.
I like the meaning behind this piece, hope Nanook's feeling better!
