Description around 1hr speedpaint. I kinda envisioned this critter to have antlers that had a life all their own, would bend and change shapes based on the creatures state or mood. The glowing bits on the 'antlers' would be seed pods of some sort...and thats as far as I got brainstorming before I decided to call this done.

The earthy tones complement the glowing creature so well, and I really like the idea of antlers that move with the creature's emotions.

I adore your concept! And how you painted the light is very soft and natural. Reminds me of fireflies.

Could you really? Because this is just, I can't explain how amazing it touches me. I love earthy mythology creatures ( this is pretty amazing, how you actually plotted out the antlers having seed pods! )

balaa In reply to WolvenRemorse [2008-12-11 04:14:29 +0000 UTC]

I don't know what kind of printer you have and I don't do this often but I can e-mail you the full resolution piece and you could just print it at home. It's such a rough piece, I'd feel bad charging money for it

WolvenRemorse In reply to balaa [2008-12-11 05:53:38 +0000 UTC]

I don't have the best printer on the planet, but it does the job.

I'm truly honored, I don't want to gush, but you are the only really great well known artist I watch! Just because others are mean to me ( I guess they consider me just another face in the crowd ). My e-mail is: wolvenremorse@yahoo.com

I promise I wouldn't do anything malicious or anything with it, I'm an artist as well. Not a great one, but I know the feeling. <3

woa ... my screen was dark at first when I came to look at this and then it suddenly got bright and the glowing parts on the creature were almost blinding x3

Wonderful speed painting! I love the concept, the pose, and of course, the glowiness. Everything is better with glowiness x33

+fav for excellent concept, and how this critter is suggested rather than displayed. One could guess a spirit of sort.
