Cover piece for my final humanities seminar class paper, all about the Noah's Ark story. =3 When I was a kid, my mom never asked me to go to church, or made me read the bible or anything, but I was made aware of several bible stories through children's books. Noah's Ark was always my favourite because it involved animals, LOTS of them. I would have liked this piece to be a bit more refined, as well as larger so I could fit more animals into the waves, but I did it all in one sitting to get it done in time for tomorrow. =/

Done in watercolours and graphite

Awesome; very vibrant and style-y

According to dA's official policy on pornography, the line between art and pornography is emotion, empathy, liquids, silhouettes, and wet clothes. But that's okay. I think we can handle it.

that's a great idea. perhaps if you ever had time you could do another version how you wanted. i think adding some subtle color variations in the water and clouds would look nice.

Integrating the animals into the waves was a great idea; it really makes this piece unique. ^..^

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons: though you taste terrible, they're willing to bear it to be rid of the nuisance.
