That's pretty cool. It seems like a piece that could be good with or without the coloring. Nice job!

i certainly like the look of it. deep, dark lines, but without losing any detail. the contrast is great.

Do you draw this on the computer or scan a sketch in?

I always list the mediums in the comments But here it is in slightly more detail: red pencil (loose sketch), copic multiliner (lines), copic marker b&w monochrome (squirrel only), and then scanned and colored in photoshop.

those fur textures are top notch

Very very nice I love the earthy, woody colors and the organic lines. The pose is very dynamic and the crows give sense of foreboding. Absolutely lovely!

I LOVE this. Beautiful job with the coloring and the detail in the accesories. I love the way you manage to keep the charm of a sketch and yet make the piece look finished and professional. You have a really neat style. XD

chow is a concept org event?! i thought perhaps it was the name of some project you were working on.

that is one tough looking squirel
interesting idea.. a mage squirel.. aha i spot some kreepy looking crows!
i love the angle and position..and there is somthing about the painting that reminds me of some kind of wooden squirel sculpture, perhaps your colours or a rigidness ..ah i dont know
i like her and i realise now u dont have very dark or harsh shadows, that looks nice
