Description
A drawing that I drew nearly two years ago, finally getting its long-time due. Open to interpretation, but my goal was to visually demonstrate the critical endangerment of these beautiful animals, and how quickly they seem to be slipping away in the wild...As usual, it looks better in real life. My scanner just suffers from the 'washed-out color eating' disorder that seems to plague these appliances like a type of brain damage Β

It's beautiful ... those wavy lines really draw the eye.
The coloring is excellent, too! Especially on the face, concentrated around the eyes and muzzle. Such depth of color!

I love it, the symbolism is quite clear and really sends a message. Β The colors are beautiful, even if the scanner did eat some of it. Β

I have to say, I am a sucker for vivid color...if the contents in my gallery don't state that obvious fact enough

Eyes. Just eyes I LOVE eyes, the more real I can make them look the better. But between them and fur, I have a hard time deciding which is my favorite to color
But thank you very much, I'm glad you think so! It's not often I attempt something like this, so the comment is very encouraging

This is amazing! You did a really good job transitioning from the normal drawing to the fading part of it! I think the colors are amazing and the details are too

Thank you so much! I wasn't sure at first how I should transition the colors from normal to fading (and between you and I and whoever else might read this it was mostly winged anyway...I just drew what I thought might make sense 
And again, thank you for the compliments, they are very much appreciated!

No problem

Well that's my approach to it anyway
Occasionally, I'll have a plan, but at some point in it, I alway end up going down a different path that what I originally had in mind...

Sometimes I'll plan things out too, but it never turns out how I planned

Wow! Such astounding colour and detail. As always, you excel at traditional art--not that your digital stuff is anything to sniff at. Also, that fading effect is so real-looking! I would be glad to have this on my wall, you know. Truly gallery-grade stuff right here, darling. I am very impressed.Β

Well, aside from the scanner knocking out most of the finer details, I dare say photoshop is anyone's saving grace when it comes to attempting to redeem back the lost color...I just wish there was a way were people could see what it looks like in real life before Scanner
And lol, traditional art will always be my favorite way of doing things. Digital art is just something I do when I'm too lazy to conjure up the focus needed for traditional, seeing as there's no such thing as a backspace button when doing the 'real' thing...
And goodness, that is some high praise there my friend
