Description Yup, you better fullview, I worked my ass off on that detail D: Took me THREE DAYS, that's the longest I've spent ever! And I did research and crap too, so appreciate it! LOL

I have taco's so I'm gonna wrap this up. As usual, point out weird brush marks and stuff, cause my monitor eats up the black and sometimes I miss unfinished brushstrokes and stuff. It WAS just a koh elk, but I butchered it with a skull again..but it's symbolic, i guess

For 's contest on horns C:

Can you find the spiderwebs? C:

The Neon green captured my eye first and the rest just followed. a breath taking piece. i can see you worked really hard on the details.
and you really have to look at the fullveiw to get the entire feeling of this piece of work. even though it's looks simple, when you get that full veiw you start noticing the fine details. like the tiny hairs on his antlers to every single storke on the . . . deer's? . . . elk's? fur.
lighting perfect
color perfect
compositions perfect
in short of everything i have said, this was truly a surprising and gorgeous work of art

There is something about this piece that just makes you stop and think. I love the fine detail and the spiderwebs between the antlers and the light shining down from the corner, gives it that edge!!

amazing job

This is definately a fantastic piece. The colour, the tone and the obvious majesty of the Spring Spirit is simply breathtaking. I especially love its eye. One note though - asymetrical antlers in deer are hypothesized to indicate a genetic problem. For the most part, deer antlers are perfectly symmetrical, at least in the distribution of the number and size of the prongs. I know this is just me being nit-picky, but it's an interesting fact of animal anatomy, and something that's good to know for any artist who enjoys drawing animals. Amazing work on this one, and sorry this isn't an official critique, which I see you requested. I don't have a premium membership.

Very good work. You said you worked your ass of with the details, and I will tell you, the effort SHOWS and will definitely be appreciated. The spider web tangled up between his horns, the wispy grass sprouting along its antlers.

All very beautiful.

TornTethers [2009-10-27 15:08:43 +0000 UTC]

Fantastic and just uber amazing! extreem amount of detail and work put in to this peice, just blows my mind, the spider webs on the horns give it a very peacefull look. Even though people say the bottom half of the bg looks flat i presonally think it makes the character stand out more, plus the lighting is the whole picture gives it an even better effect.

this must be featured in my next journal! :3

CrystalEnceladus [2009-10-21 05:48:56 +0000 UTC]

The background in the bottom half feels flat, but the lighting is supurb and the grassy details on the horns intricate. It takes looking at the skullface to realise the deer is dead.
