Artist's Comments

And the last holiday card commission is done, for *bloodhound-omega! I went a little overboard with this one since it's so close to christmas by now, giving Bloodhound a full background instead of a simple partial one. The big hooved critter is called a Nopey, and the black canine there (bloodhound) isn't a werewolf, but a special species *bloodhound-omega made up called a Bloodhound. They are trecking across a wintery part of their home planet, which has three moons, to deliver special parcels to special people. ^^

I like how the Nopey turnes out personally, he was pretty hard to make into a believable animal at first. I had to do some Nopey warm-up sketches, and look at some deer and buffalo photos to kind of get an idea of how he might move.

Anyway, done on 9.5" X 12" bristol board with acrylics, marker and coloured pencil. Hope you like it Bloodi!

This is really nice :] the anatomy for Nopey especially. It's so hard to make fantasy creatures work out realistically sometimes, and you nailed the anatomy. I really love all the detail, and especially how you do the fur. I also love the background and the swirl things on Bloodhounds socks and Nopey's carrier thing. adskjass this is just beautiful :]

Well, whatever... now it's there and people can enjoy that awesome piece a few days earlier than expected. *gg*

This is totally and utterly awesome and my people will probably get a better Xmas card than I could have ever done one by myself. xD

Bloodi's bright nose looks so funny. *snickers* It really sticks out a lot and reminds me of Rudolph the Reindeer that way. He looks so... wonderfully curvy. No joke! I like that! :D And the clothing, especially around the feet is just wonderful. But as I said in the mail already... that Nopey simply takes my breath away! 8o Especially its complete right front leg, including the shoulder! That looks so awesome! The anatomy just turned out so well and the fur... ugh! wonderful!

Thank you! Thank you soo much! :D
