Description Zebra! Zebra with inverted stripes of complimentary colors against a background intending to blend the subject against itself (the background)! And an ear that's too small.

Zebra!

This is great! You could easily sell this as like the pages in a notepad or stationary or somethin. I would so buy it if it was stationary.

Go ahead! ^^ This piece was actually inspired by a photograph of a zebra against a black background, and I know it's been done in other ways as well so I can't really claim the idea as specifically mine. ^^

Have fun!

Mmm, we've got some ancient Egyptian colors going on here, eh? :3

I will agree with your comment that the ear does look a little small (zebras have ridiculously large ears for a horse), but I didn't really notice that until I looked close enough.

Really neat piece -- I'll give you a clap for the bold use of colors and for using a zebra head. c:

Oooh, I like it! A lot! I love the balance of huge negative space and little zebra--just that much showing is enough to make it work. Love the colors, too. ^_^
