Description
Wow, I've been inactive here for a while. Sorry about that! Online stuff just hasn't been my main concern as of late, I guess.Anyway, this was done for my independent study art class last semester. No real thought was put into it, but don't tell my teacher that. xP I'm usually hesitant to put traditional media pieces on the 'net for some reason. But, that's mostly what I've been doing lately, so I might as well upload something.
Also, though I don't intend to work on this piece any further, any helpful criticism for future works would be greatly appreciated!
Time taken: Over ten hours
Tools used: Watercolours and white acrylic paints

Awesome! I really adore how you colored this
This will probably sound pretty lame, but this piece accually rendered me speechless. I'd love to give you some useful critic, but this is too perfect for words. Great job!

Lovely idea! The wolf (it is a wolf yes?) has a real pride to it, and I really don't know, but it's just beautiful!
I do find however that the background could have been done in more detail, although I really can't talk because I practically don't *do* backgrounds.. but that would be my constructive criticism!

It can be whatever you want it to be. :3
Hey, you don't have to be a chef to know when the food sucks! xD The background gave me issues, I admit. I reworked it so many times I thought I'd paint right through the paper! But, I'll definately take your suggestion into consideration for next time. :}
Thank you so much!

I love the "you don't have to be a chef to know when the food sucks". Never heard that before.
I always feel bad about giving constructive criticism in areas that I know *I* don't do well in, but if it's constructive criticism, and I know the artist could probably work on that bit, then I feel that I'm being helpful and not down-putting. So thank you for not making me feel so bad when I do try and help.

I really loved this pic on the art show. The use of both the sky and the desert ground within the figure is beautiful, as is the painting as a whole. Mind if I use it as a desktop? I can denote owner-ship if you want, even though I don't plan on distributing it to anyone.

Kyndir In reply to The-BoxKitten [2007-05-31 04:48:37 +0000 UTC]
Sure! You can use it as a desktop. As long as it's for personal use, I don't see anything wrong with that. :} Thank you for asking though.
Also, I still need to figure out a way to get a print for you... I haven't forgotten! I'll note you once I think of something...
Thanks again!

Oh wow, this is gorgeous. I always think of quicksilver for some reason when I see images like this, with the red desert and blue sky. I love how the creature, or spirit, or whatever it is, is leaping from the rock itself into the sky. It looks like it's just going to float away once it's totally clear of the stone. Beautiful.

You're alright. You made my heart stop for a moment though, since I've had this happen.. twice before? Maybe just once... There was one piece I decided not to upload since I found a piece similar to it on the internet a while after I'd finished it. x_x;
But I really see the similarities, now that I look at it... I even have a desert background, too. I guess I have a bad habit of unintentionally creating similar pieces of work of other artists? xD
Any similarties were purely unintentional though, I assure you.
Thank you for the compliment, too. :}

That's a really nice picture!
I love how you've made the piece a mixture between blue and brown colors. The creature has a very cool design, indeed.
You totally kick my butt at making good backgrounds. :]

silvermoonnw [2007-05-07 13:06:52 +0000 UTC]
This is an absolutely amazing piece of artwork, and a unique concept as well. I really like how it all flows as one, and especially the reflections on the wolf/coyote? creature. This one would make a really nice print as well.

Beautiful work. Do you think this style will lead you into designing elemental types?

Kyndir In reply to SinisterVibe [2007-05-08 02:23:13 +0000 UTC]
I'm really not too sure. I love elemental creatures and I draw them every now and then, but none of the things I draw, I feel, are unique enough to share. I'll definately keep that theme in mind next time I work on something, though. :}
Thanks a lot!

I see, i see, but unique or not, you should share everything! you never know when another artist will see something really exciting in your work that inspires you to take it to another level. Good luck with you next projects.
