I dislike the tail. it is way, way too long. Other than that, this is the best work of art i have ever seen on Deviantart.

Yeah I know, especially when I talk about how much time I spent planning the anatomy. It's a contentious issue with this piece, but I knew that going in and couldn't resist.

First I thought "surely it's digital", but then saw the oil and was astounded. It shows there's still hope for traditional art in this mass of digital I like digital paintings too and all, but something to do with such skilful traditional paintings makes me immensely happy, to know a human hand created all of it.

Well done, very very well done
