...Actually, this kind of freaks me out...but only because it looks pretty damn close to a recurring dream I have nearly twice a week...
Creepy...

Just one of those weird dreams one has, always starting with a snowy mountain, heading through a forest, going through the desert and ending up at the water-front...
The thing that really freaks me out about this piece is all the animals glow in my dream...sooooo glowing fish.

Love the colors in this peice, I also like how the angle of the picture isn't perfectly straight.

wow, this is so beautiful~
I love your pictures, the colours are so gorgeous 
The character is amazing, the fish, the destroyed boats, the warning posters and the trees in the background
I see that you work hard in your art, is awesome!
***...note:those are akatsuki's clouds???...***
just a question

Ohh thank you so much!! Yeah I put a lot of effort into this one, and I'm pretty pleased with how it came out. I'm really happy since you complimented the things I worked on the hardest ; v ; thank you~
LMAO the inspiration was from traditional Chinese paintings; they often have stylized clouds like this. But yes, actually, one of the clouds is the akatsuki cloud (they have a main one or something on the front of their cloaks), I put it in for kicks. ;D

I happened to see this one when it was submited to the anime artists group and I say it looked dreadfully interesting so I had to click on it.... which is off task for me who will normally just spam click all the x's in the corner of the deviations I watch since I get about 100+/day in my devwatch.
I love bird like features and actually have my own birdie like guy... though he's more of an air elemental.... *coughs* I really really like how much bird your guy has as far as features though. I also enjoyed your background art. That's a lot of talent there and I really really enjoyed looking at it. Also your description was quite entertaining as well. ^_^

Ahahaa I do that too actually; I'm glad my picture caught your eye. :'3
Air elementals are awesome sauce ;D
Ahahaa I'm glad the description was entertaining too, I always wonder if I word-vomit too much ;D
Thank you again, and for the watch!!

wired..but fuckin interesting at the same time....got my attention

Oooh, this is an interesting character design! I love his birdlike features and sort of feel sorry for him because of his small wings. ; ;
I like how calm and absorbed he seems in doing his own thing despite his surroundings. Yep, eccentric. xD
The fish and the daisy fishing rod (especially the daisy fishing rod) looks great! So magical. ; w ;

; u ; Thank you very much!! Aaawww yeah, the wings were actually immense fun to draw, despite their rather unimpressive size. ;D And I'm very happy that he comes across as eccentric, it was my main idea with this picture.
Thank you again for the lovely comment!! <3 <3

Personality description said: "eccentric old sod".
In his mind, he lives in an industrial war zone where fishes bleed ketchup and daisies live forever.
Can I come and live in your brain for a while? It sounds like fun. 
Anyway, this one is fantastic! – definitely one of your better pictures, I can see why you're pleased with it. 
Really like the colour scheme – the muted whites, greens, greys and blues. Sebastian and his fish fit right into that, they stand out but don't clash. I like how the fish is kind of casting a shadow over the water and glowing red – makes it look slightly ebil, although I don't know if that was the intention. 
I think his bird feet are done very well, as is the cloak that trails into the water, and I like the little touch of the flower on the end of his fishing rod. Also the angle of the picture is great – it kind of seems like the whole world is collapsing, adds to the watery feel, but at the same time feels quite peaceful. Or not – but not so much a storm-is-about-to-break feel, like I got off Catatonia, but an after-the-storm feel.
And dystopia things are always fun to draw/write. XD

; v ; Ahahaaaa, surely you'd rather go and live in his mind?? Mine's stuffed with old hobgoblins who get in the way rather a lot ;D
Th-thank you so much, I really do quite like this picture. :> Thank you especially for saying the debris looks real, it was a nightmare to draw! And you hit the clouds' theme right on the head, I was going for the old traditional Chinese style of drawing with those. ;D Impressively insightful, as always.
I actually spent aaaaaaages debating whether or not to keep them in, but I felt the sky was so empty, and I eventually kept them in, with the opacity turned down. :>
LMAO EVIL FISH. The idea with the red fish was "red herring", which can be interpreted as rather evil, I suppose 
I modeled Sebastian on a chicken because, in truth, he is a coward. He hides away from whatever issues or problems he has and pretends he lives in a strange place where no one can bother him; the red fish/herring is symbolic of the fact that his mind is actually a buffer zone so he doesn't have to deal with things. The entire picture is really my interpretation of his personality, but I think to him it's a story. OKAY that might totally not make sense :/, sorryyyy.
Thank you for your compliments ; v ; you always write such lovely insightful comments.
I've actually decided to stop drawing so many tilted pictures - I've learnt that it's actually called a Dutch angle, and that artists shouldn't use it that much. After taking a glance at my gallery, I've realised that I use it far too much. =____=
However.....I still really love tilting pictures ; n ;
Yeahhhhh, dystopia is really fun, although possibly not if it were to occur ;D

Hobgoblins? Sounds like fun. Although I guess it depends how grumpy they are
Haha, you're very welcome. It's your art skillz, they speak to my brain! I can see what you mean – they could be slightly incongruous with the rest of the style – but they definitely work.
Ooh, red herring. I totally missed that reference.
No, that makes sense. I just didn't see it all straightaway XD but it's very interesting how much thought you put into your pictures – even if you don't get the interpretation straight away it makes them seem more real.
I think it's just fun to imagine. XD Because everyone wonders what it would be like, but no-one really wants to experience it, so fiction is a good compromise

Hmm. Looking back at my picture timeline, it all looks like a descent into random surreal gloom. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS GOOD OR BAD.
No no, I think your interpretations are very interesting - they're usually very close to the original; you always seems to be the only one who gets anywhere close. Even if they're not right they're oddly similar to my original thoughts, or closely related in some way. You see things in my own pictures which I don't notice myself, sometimes. IT'S CREEPY.
I heard that since it's usually used as either a "make things odd" tool or a "make a boring picture interesting" tool, using it too much kind of shows that you're desperate. Basically, I worry that it would get old very quickly, and I shouldn't rely on something like that as an excuse to draw boring pictures. THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
LOL yeahhh I think one of the charms of dystopia is the fact that it's so immensely depressing. Makes it all seem like a romantic tragedy, hahaaaa.

I see – like propping up something with the technique, and then getting so used to it that you don't know how to work without it. XD I guess variation is always a good idea!
