Song: Myxomatosis ~ Radiohead ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?vgeKRbmUBns

Hey.
This is as close to an actual photo as you're gonna get... No, I'm not being one of those people who actually try to convince you that they're an animal. This is just.... What I feel like I guess.

& the song is like a personal soundtrack, it feels, if I can claim such a thing.

Not so sure I like my addition of peacock feathers, but it was at the point of no return that I realised I wasn't so fond...

Something I wrote for this, cause I had the time
Read it while listening to the song please:

The peal of jinglebells,
Stinging sockets as each tear wells,
The peach and primrose patchwork
Shrouds where the scars lurk.

Pierced by the murcury and cobalt,
Tasting leaking rust and salt

Merry mask from brow to jowl,
Hides where the eyeball bruise-hue purple prowls.
Cloaked in the technicoloured dreamcoat,
Gorge-fed on the lies to chke and bloat.

Pierced by the murcury and cobalt.
Tasting leaking rust and salt

Enticing twirling of the hand carved staff,
They blissfully misread the gasps in laughs.
Eternal soloist onstage,
Shuddering blindly from near-blackout rage.

Pierced by the murcury and cobalt,
Tasting leaking rust and salt.



"Myxomatosis"

The mongrel cat came home
Holding half a head
Proceeded to show it off
To all his new found friends
He said I been where I liked
I slept with who I like
She ate me up for breakfast
She screwed me in a vice
But now
I don't know why
I feel so tongue-tied
I sat in the cupboard
And wrote it down real neat
They were cheering and waving
Cheering and waving
Twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis
But it got edited fucked up
Strangled beaten up
Used in a photo in time magazine
Buried in a burning black hole in devon
I don't know why I feel so tongue-tied
Don't know why
I feel
So skinned alive.
My thoughts are misguided and a little naive
I twitch and I salivate like with myxomatosis
You should put me in a home or you should put me down
I got myxomatosis
I got myxomatosis
Yeah no one likes a smart ass but we all like stars
But that wasn't my intention, I did it for a reason
It must have got mixed up
Strangled beaten up
I got myxomatosis
I got myxomatosis
I don't know why I
Feel so tongue-tied

Thanks!

Yes you can, don't be silly! Look at animal's anatomy & movements, sketch a little everyday, always try new subjects & never forget to look at other people's art to learn from but not to compare with your's

All it takes is time & passion

what an interesting and unusual character. if you were interested, i would love to do an aceo trade, as he/she is amazing. the way i do aceo trades, is that i post my half to you, and you post your half to me. if you are interested, let me know. this is what i did when i did an aceo trade with moonsongwolf. [link]

I'd love to do a trade!
I think your use of mixed media is brilliant, way more creative than just one medium
This character is a he, but I have yet to name him
What measurements are an aceo again It's been ages What OC of your's would you want me to do? Or whatever you have in mind

Killslay-steelclaw In reply to HawthornHare [2010-05-19 18:58:03 +0000 UTC]

ACEO's are usually 2.5x3.5 inches, and that is the size i work. they can be bigger or smaller, but are all roughly trading card size.

if this the chracter you want me to draw, he is amazing and i would love the chalenge.

[link] [link] is my werewolf alterego, Killsay.

[link] is dani, one of my hellhounds, a species developed by me, [link] for the species notes

or there is [link] Ria who is my only sparkle dog. the choice is yours.

i hope to get my half done soon, i cant wait to work of this character, he is amazingly detailed, which is going to be a good challenge to fit in an aceo.

let me know which one you choose

HawthornHare In reply to Killslay-steelclaw [2010-05-20 23:10:12 +0000 UTC]

I think I'll go with Killslay, she's personal to you, & I love her wings colours, they're so autumny. Wil I do her with the golden choker thing, or without?
Would you like me to do her roulette, or in a particular pose?

I'm generally late in everything I do, but I'm in a really arty mood lately, so I should get mine done soon

& yep, if you could do the Myxomatosis hare, that'd be so awesome! Thanks, I'm really looking forward to seeing your half

okay, you can choose any pose that you like.

is there any particular pose that you want me to draw the Myxomatosis hare in? i cant wait to see what you come up with, and take as long as you need

Thanks, I always appreciate freedom of poses XD

Nope, you can do Myxomatosis any way you feel like, he's already complicated enough as it is without me being picky

& same with you, theres no rush, take your time ^.^
