Description Knotwork meese. I mean moose.

*FULLVIEW PLEASE*

Done for animal swap challenge, which has somehow turned into an official competition. I didn't really mean it that way, I wanted it to just be an excuse for everyone to tackle something new and different, that maybe they wouldn't ever consider without some reason.

I certainly wouldn't have considered drawing meese, and it really was a challenge to create something "to order", as it were.

I'm not entirely sure I like the colouring, or really more like, I rushed the colouring. I know that. I wanted to get this done in time for the new deadline. But I loooove the knotwork. It's madness.

MEESES!

Meese XD
I'd never guess, if not the description...the looked like trees with personality to me...
Wanted to ask...you use some kind of grid for the lineart?

Trees with personalities sounds equally good to me

For this one, I didn't. It was done pretty much freehand. I think I just divided the page into 8ths and got on with it (but this was a omg-I-need-to-meet-a-deadline pic, no drafts, no anything, it just happened, why explains the strangeness!) Normally I'll put more effort into marking out the page (this kind of idea: [link] )

I really like doing pieces to order. Actually, I don't, but I love the challenge they represent!

...I don't know. They look more like longhorn steers to me. But, you're the artist here Good work. Animal forms are hard to convert to knotwork.

I always wanted to know why it's geese for goose, but not meese for moose. Sigh, such inconsistency! Great job, was waiting to see the colored version. Good luck with the competition!

PS -- Was wondering, did you by chance get my note?
