Artist's Comments

Wow, a semi-personal piece of art from me! =D This past weekend was my birthday weekend, so I thought I'd work on fun art instead of commissions or schoolwork. I have two illustrations due thursday, so maybe it wasn't a good idea... But I don't care!

This painting is for the art show at All Fur Fun, a convention in Washington that I've been invited to as the guest of honor. =3 This is a random fun interpretation of one of their mascots, Fern the fox. P.S. Here's the website for the convention with all the info: [link]

This is all acrylics, and since I never really got into fully acrylic pieces, this is all unfamiliar-ish for me. I love the medium, and I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on it, but I think I can do better in the future as far as my process goes. Perhaps to make painting faster and more efficient.

Lotsa stuff wrong with this I'm sure... no light direction, complete lack of background, and the placement of the fern/spiral symbol bugs me. HOWEVER! I don't care, I'm not fiddling with it anymore. It was fun, and now it's done!

Usually fox pictures don't do too much for me, but I really love the contrast between the rich, creamy white fur and the earthy red. Very nice.

Don't talk. Don't talk. It makes it crawl back up.

Very nice. :) You always do such good fur.
And incidently I really like ferns, and foxes, so this makes me smile. I don't see anything about the placement of the symbol that is displeasing, but either way, the symbol itself is super cool looking. :D

Wow, this is gorgeous. I love her eyes and the plants. Oh, and her jewellery, especially the little captives in her ears. <3

Good to see another piece from you. How's school going? Hope it's alright.

I was gonna say something. And it was gonna be awesome. OH YEAH. I think it's really great that you were invited as a guest of honour. o.o I don't blame them, you'd be the first person I'd invite to something like that, your work is just... brilliant. <3

Excellent work with the acrylics! The colors are excellent. I do, however, agree with your self-critiques, all except the placement of the spiral fern thing. Doesn't bug me there. I love the way you did the ferns!

I was wondering how long it'd be until you were guest of honor somewhere... I didn't think it would take long ;P

Absolutely AWESOME piece... I can't wait until I'm making more money again... Imma get me some more of your art >: D
