Your traditional skills are incredible. I just can say that this picture looks so perfect to me, the colours, the depth. There is absolutely nothing to criticise on it.

Well, that proves they are not just a figment of MY imagination, eh? Reminds me of something I read once, too...aren't they,...umm...nice? I mean, in the not-gonna-eat-you department...

Beautiful... It reminds me of the Nightwalker from Hayao Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke.

Your drawings are amazing. They remind me of the legend of Zelda.. i can't help it haha. In the player guides for Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, i actually just liked looking at the drawings, and yours just have a similar style i guess. It's really nice. Hah and i apologize if you don't know what i'm talking about.

Hey, thanks

Wow. Just...wow. I think this is one of the most amazing things you've done (at least, out of the ones I can actually fullview :/), aside from maybe Song of the Wild, which has had a special place in my heart since I saw it in the daily feature panel on the side of my page. The lighting, the pose, the intense attention to detail is just amazing beyond description. The scars on his legs, the wrinkles in his skin, the fringe on his...furry...thing. It's all so beautifully done, I just can't believe it. I keep staring at it and I find something new that I hadn't noticed the time before every time I scroll up and down the page again. Your characters are just so damn imaginative and amazing, it makes your pictures absolutely incredible. My favourite thing about this is probably the way his horns appear to be holding up the moon, like it's a halo suspended elegantly above his head. Beautiful.

Now that is cool! The tail and feet dissapearing in the mist is an awsome effect too and th aura around the sphere too

I adore this picture. I really do. I love all your mythological and fantasy art. It's so amazing and it makes my spirit soar! I swear. That and the fact that I'm a total myth nut..eh..
But he DOES look kind of like the Nightwalker in Mononoke-hime. Not that I mind one bit. Ojii-Kurai is just awesome! I love that one picture where you drew him with the little girl, and when I read that snippet of a story beneath the picture, I cried a little at the end. You have awe inspiring art, and keep it up!
I hope one day, to become as good as you, or even around there. Your art tingles my soul. ><

Thank you very much for your kind comments! I am also a mythology/Miyazaki fan so there is probably a little influence somewhere.

and i love the mist at the bottom nice effect

I love the light texture on the heavy-massed fur. I also like the mist around the feet, they fade them out in an appropriate way (not in a "i can't draw feet" way--hallelujah!). I'm also impressed by the antlers. Those are so hard to do right, I think, but the add to this character's majesty.

Whoocool! I like the spines. Really nice cloak textures. I realy like his scars. Wow. This is so smooth! Lovely lighting. His legs are a really cool, and I like the mask he's got on. Jinbu culture looks so amazing. Mmm.. lighting.
