Description
It's not a series! I deny any possibility of series-ness! And don't ask where B is. If I had a shred of sanity, I would do A, B, and C, and call it good, but being me, I will probably do A, C, and W or Q or something, thereby destroying any possibility of selling them as a coherent set. But that's okay. I've made peace with my lunacy, and the Band of Badger and Binturong Barbarians Brandishing Broadswords wasn't working out anyway.Capybaras are dreadfully underrepresented in art. Also, I got to use "corpulent" and how often does that come up? Note the Couple of Cavies in the foreground, better known as guinea pigs, but which I was unable to pass up. I loved my guinea pigs dearly, but god help me, they were not bright.*
Anyway! Digital, painter 7, wacom tablet. Prints available, both the small for $10 and the jumbo for $20--I may do a limited edition run of 17 x 22 or something, if I get wildly ambitious. Both sizes will be available at Anthrocon, or you can order 'em here--just drop a note!
*And by "not bright" I mean "like a cuddly, cheerful eggplant that purrs."

It reminds me of a book my son had when he was small. It started with: One Old Oxford Ox Opulently eating Oysters!

Wait, have you read Animalia by Graeme Base? You must have. That was totally one of my favorite books as a child. (I do love how much the cockerels are enjoying themselves.)

That is AWESOMESAUCE. XD
Capybaras are the best. X3
And this pic... it reminds me a bit of Grimm fairytales, and a bit of Edward Gorrey, too. :3

Do a full alphabet and get it published as a children's book. I think you are onto something good here!

I love this! I agree the Capybaras are not drawn very much, I've been planning on drawing one for ages and forgot until today. How many guinea pigs do you have? I have a good few (actually about 25), I breed them.

I don't actually have any--had two when I was a kid, but these days, the cat's enough for me.

Cool, I have a cat too, wouldn't be without one. He gets on well with the guinea pigs.

Cool! I saw the tiny thumbnail of this pic and wondered whether the animal depicted was a capybara...click'thed it...and lo! A capybara!

Ha ha. I love it. I've been meaning to do a drawing of Capys but haven't had the chance yet. Not to mention reference images of them are hard to come by and our zoo doesn't have any.
And my piggies are a little more than "a cuddly, cheerful eggplant that purrs." I will agree, though, that they are not the smartest animals at times.

Lovely! I had this children's book like this with illustrations of all sorts of animals. (Excited Elephants Eagerly Eat Easter Eggs, or something like that) Thanks for reminding me.

Corpulent is an oft neglected term. Kudos on its utilization. ('swhat sold me on it) fav+

OMG YES!!!! When I saw your Bingturong work I hoped you would pick Capybara for C! And here it is in your gallery! I love Capybaras and their rectangular shaped heads... do you think their brains are rectangular? 
This is a fav, obviously

Tries to keep breathing through the fit of laughter. So true!
I just love those cockerels

This brings back so many memories of children's A-Z books. Ahh, nostalgia. I love it, oh so much. The colouring is fantastic, and the expressions on all of those crazy animals' faces are wonderful. I really like your artist comments, too. I like it when an artist puts effort into their description.

They're essentially large guinea pigs anyway, right? Capybaras that is. I drew a bunch at the National Zoo the other day... but they're really difficult. Stupid mounds of tubby furlump.

Don't cavies look like a mix between a deer and a rabbit

You're thinking of the Patagonian cavy. Same name, different critter.

You should do J just because it's not done enough with anything. ^^ I really love the chickens Caroling and the guinea pigs just sitting there! ^^ You style and work always amazing me.

I just got back from a sort of longish break of not looking at DA for some reason that's probably not even a good one if I could just figure out what it was but, anyway, it's nice to see that the level of sanity in some corners of DA is exactly as it were last time I had a peek

I love how the capybara is lounging around like an immense opera diva, or some Roman dignitary who's been overfed on buttered seafood.

Having had one, I have to say that your description of the guinea pig is remarkably accurate. XD Also, love the painting (as always).

I'm so happy to see you do some more guinea pigs. I love the little critters.
I don't appreciate your stuff nearly enough as I should.

you could do a Golden Mole gleefully gobbling a grasshopper in front of a grossed out gazelle.

I would love to see the Hippo, and the Pangolins could even be done tastefully, perhaps a bunch of Pangolins purchasing copyβs of βPlay Edenateβ I know I would buy prints o some letters (my parents probably wouldnβt go for the Pangolins) We could even help.

logic, whit the abc, you could call "abc" a series and end it there, since the alphabet is sometime referd to as the "a, b, c's" ya know?
i could have made that sound more intelligent, but i'm running on fonly four pots of no-sleep juice.....
how bout..... bouncing bananas bothereing band-aid covered bees !!!!!!
i'm sorry

This piece made me smile. Not to mention bonus points for the use of the word 'corpulent'!

"*And by "not bright" I mean "like a cuddly, cheerful eggplant that purrs.""
We always used to look at the "official Star Trek tribbles" in the novelty mags. and joke that we had the non-official versions. 
And I LOVE it! You get extra points for getting using both the cappy and the guineas! XD Not going to be able to get it in con, but I'll SO be picking up a print at some point! XD

Beautiful. ^_^
It reminds me of an alphabet story book I was in love with when I was in elementary school.
(wow.. that's along time to forget about a beloved book)
Perhaps you may even have an inkling of the book.. >laughs<
