Description
A piece inspired by and referenced from Brom's "Gazelle".Have a little free time for the holidays and decided to finish and show the completed version of my WIP. I'm sure I'll eventually create a race and name for this creature and add her to my Sorche storyline, but for now she is simply a creature who has just broken free from her captors and takes in the first light of day.
I actually still want to add tons more to this, but for the moment I'm tired of working on it.

Hm...Someone sent me to this link cos they thought it looked like my own creatures. And in a way it looks similiar, but then again not... Is she somewhat of a satyr, I mean her legs kinda look that that until her feet? I just hope this doesn't collide.

No, she's not a satyr. She's simply a creature. To be fair though, as I said this piece is inspired and referenced from a piece that Brom painted called "Gazelle". Thanks for viewing.

I'm sorry if it sounded like I was saying you stole it. I was not. My friend just gave me the link and told me to look. I hope I didn't and am not sounding rude, it was just a precaution.

Oh no no. Not at all. I didn't take it as you saying that by any means. I just had to clarify that Brom was the only inspiration for this. I learned a long time ago (the hard way) to always give proper credit when and where it's due. Regardless of the reason you visited, I thank you for viewing the piece. I just visited your page, btw, and I'm really impressed with the designs for your Water Wings characters. If I ever get enough free time I may have to create a character for that race.

OKay, good. I'm glad I wasn't coming off that way. I liked the piece too! I thought your drawing and coloring was really, really good.
And I remembered who Brom was, and he is really awesome. I want The Plunker book, awesome illustrations.
Wow! I'm really flattered! ^.^ Even if you don't get around to it, it's still really amazing to come from you with all your great art.
I'm glad everything is fine. I'd hate to offend anyone.

Damn!!!
this is an unbelievable picture!
Let me tell you, people get different messeges from stuff like this...heres what i got: First I saw a cheet/dinasour creature running from pursuing natives, then as it stepped into that light it slowly transformed into the female. So what i see is a transformation in process...
It is flawlessly beautiful...
th' way you done th' hair, th'horns, th' toes. AwesOME!

I don't think there is much I could add about this picture, I agree with everyone it's really nice. I guess I'm weird but the tail and thighs are what I like most about it. My wife and I both have sites on here and she found this one and knew I would be interested. I came up with a creature very similar to this lovely lady back around '91 and even wrote a novel over them.

Nah! I don't think you're weird, orau. A bit freaky maybe? Seriously, yeah I had fun doing the tail. Thanks for viewing and commenting.

Thank you! Not a special brush. I actually just used the SCREEN tool at various transparencies and points.

xvshanissa In reply to ??? [2005-12-15 01:51:09 +0000 UTC]
Your technique and compostion are wonderful. Only negative comment is I think there are some porportionality issues, and just tiny details that would make it all look a little more "real", as far as looking like a real creature so to speak. The image is beautiful though, wonderful work. I love it.

liquidd-1 In reply to xvshanissa [2005-12-17 20:12:12 +0000 UTC]
Thanks, xvshanissa. Very kind of you to say. I have to disagree about the proportion issues though. Simply because "real" is a relative term in fantasy. An artist is free to exaggerate reality, dismiss it altogether, or find a neutral balance between the realistic and the fantastical. Thanks again for commenting!

I'll admit when I saw this piece I wondered if somehow someone snuck into my room at night and stole all my composite sketches because this character look almost identical to a character I'm creating, except without the ram horns. You weren't in my room, were you?
At any rate it's beautiful and now I must fav it forever and always, amen.

Hmmm, so you've discovered my secret, eh? So what? Now that you know, I'll have to devise more devious means to pick your creative ideas. Mwahhahahahaha!
Glad that you liked it, Nadyrii!

I must say this is truly amazing! Love the hair and the colours are simply wonderful. A question, what's with the chacles, is she a runaway? (I guess it's female, looks like breast there to me)

liquidd-1 In reply to Hera-of-Stockholm [2006-01-14 05:06:34 +0000 UTC]
Thanks. She's just escaped from her captors and is tasting the first light of day (hence the title).

Wonderful! Just one more thing, can she fly or what will happen when she jumps off the cliff? Looks to me like she's way up high.

liquidd-1 In reply to Hera-of-Stockholm [2006-01-14 18:07:16 +0000 UTC]
Well, she can't fly and yes she is up very high. But if I tell you what happens then it stifles your imagination, right? Just know that she will be fine... even IF she does jump.

KathrynKelly In reply to ??? [2005-12-14 23:03:34 +0000 UTC]
Excellent details (especially the hair!), so gorgeous and fantasy-ish. Is she supposed to look like she's underwater? 'cause that's the effect I see...

I noticed that too. No, she's not supposed to look like she's underwater, but I do plan to do an underwater piece one day. Thanks for viewing.

Since the critique is welcome... The head seems to be too small, but maybe it is because of its position
Aside that, it is a masterpiece, sir. I especially love her hair !
