Artist's Comments

[EDIT 2] Wow, Daily Deviantion! Thanks you guys, I really appreciate it! Since this has been uploaded, I've painted out the birds in the background on the advice of my art instructors, but I haven't had a chance to change the file yet.

[EDIT] I realize that this painting had been scanned REALLY green looking, and I never adjusted the colour balance. So here it is, less green! Looks a lot better, closer to the original in my opinion. Over Christmas break, I may be making some changes to this piece too.

My final project for an animal anatomy class I took this summer. The class consisted a lot of going to the zoo and museum (mostly the zoo) and drawing the animals from life. I feel like it helped me clarify my animal anatomy a lot, but there's always room for improvement.

As for this painting! The animal with the spear is Slender Loris, my favorite primate. They don't come in white, but I thought he might be more interesting that way. ^^ The cat's face is based off a cougar, but with the fur colour of a tiger and kind of made-up patterning. Leopard inspired, but not really leopard accurate. The birds I feel are a compositional afterthought, since we had to include a bird in our final piece somewhere. They are Black Throated Magpie Jays.

I'm very proud of this painting, but it reveals places I need to work on. Environments and rock textures for one! It's a pretty big piece for me, 16" X 20" in heavyweight illustration board. It also turned out a little darker than I would have liked, still looks good.

The original will be displayed at my school, but it is for sale if anyone is interested. Please send me a note or an email!

Daily DeviationWith a great use of the animal anatomy class *shadow-wolf took a year ago, here we proudly feature The Attack. Even if only a piece picked from an already amazing gallery you should for sure visit, this picture is luring enough to encourage you to see, admire and favourite its full view, right after sending some feedback to the artist. An incredible picture in fact tempting you quite a lot to, maybe, add this artist to your devWatch list... something you won't regret, believe me! (Featured by `skifi)

Ooh that's very cool.

The Slow loris does come in white, though it has kind of a stripe down its back. .... And since it's nocturnal the zoo always has their enclosure a bit dark, and they're usually asleep :)

Lovely outlook here, and don't worry, maybe your Slender Loris is an albino.

Semi-albino. He's got black markings around his eyes.
