Description Many anthropologists believed that the cave paintings are a kind of sympathetic magic, that to depict a lot of game means to have the power to catch that game, or to ensure their numbers. The huntress here is envoking such a magic so that her people might be prosperous.

Very impressive picture.
I like the soft colours, especially on the body of the cat lady. The human hair is a nice touch too.

Now this really impresses me. You never really see an ancient creature mixed with human, y'know.

I love the colours and the swirling patterns. Your huntress looks good too, nice grasp on anatomy.

o__o I don't really understand your artist comment bit. but I do think that those little animals you drew into the 'magic' is damn awesome! So many and they don't look distorted or overly simplified. ^^

I didn't know that about cave paintings.
Beautiful work. I like the depiction of the magic, and that the cave paintings look like they're running out of the huntress' hands.

thats sweet i was just learning that in class at college, nice mix of cave art style with realistic drawing, and then having the watercolour really adds to it, i really like it

I don't get how people can get so much blending with so many different colors to actually get it to look like fur and all the different textures in the fur. It's amazing

Amazing combination of history and fantasy. I really like the composition, how the billowing cloud of ancient animal paintings seem to reflect in the hopefulness in her eyes, pose, and smile. Beautiful choice of uplifting colors. The warms on the cool background really help to setup the contrast and make for an image that captures your attention. Awesome!

Hmmm, you have an intriguing sense of balance and proportion to your work, and the emotive sense you instill is nothing less than excellant. You clearly have a great deal of talent.
The basic flow and shading of the color swirls show a great sense of detail. The subject herself shows a great sense of three dimensional balance and perspective. She's pretty cute too. I am especially impressed with her facial expression and eyes.
You are a tremendously emotive artist, a rare and beautiful trait. I greatly look forward to seing more of your work.

I like the way you painted this one. It looks like cave paintings combined with more advanced art techiniques. I'm talking about the entire picture not just that is is a combination of more modern art (being the catgirl) and Cave art XD
