Description
This is probably about 6 months old or so... I never bothered to submit it until now. xD
I did it for an art show my mom's company was having, and got some compliments on it.

Pretty much whatever popped into my head. I tried to mimic the style of one of my past pieces, [link] which is still one of my favorite things that I've ever done.

The bottom is ink that was blown into patterns with a straw. and I used pen, and watercolor. The actual size is about... 18 inches tall? idk. Big for me, since I'm used to working really really small. xD

WHEEEE fun. :B

download for fullsize and of COURSE
this is © me. no stealies DUH.

I cannot help but be a fan of celestial motifs. Some say that they are overdone, but when they are done WELL, that idea is blown out of the water and this is just wonderful!

The way the sky is dripping, as if the colour is raining down from the clouds, to the ground where it's grappling back up to join with anything walking over. It's as if the cat, if not created from the ground, is now part of it (but not ina "HOLY CRAP, TRAPED !" way, but in a spirit-of-the-eart way)

Sunsetty-twilighty colours = and the way you've done the line art is like thick lead on stained glass designs.
Lovely piece this, you should be proud :3

Gosh Nilla your art blows me away every time, even the methods you use to amke your art is just so crative its amazing! Your art is godly and you have the best personality EVER. But srsly straw blowing? Where did your learn that? It looks so cool! And I love how you did the drippy sky, it's amazing.

But your moons and curly fur and small art style will forever be a great inspiration in my life. c:
idk, without finding yoru art on this site I'de probly never go anywhere with my art, or be a marker artist at all.


.....lol long comment. I guess you can take it as a sorry for not commenting lots? Or just me not liking to leave little comments... xD
