Description The Inuktitut name for the creature we know as the Arctic Fox is Tiriganiaq. I found it a fitting title for this drawing.

It's by no means my best work and I'm not sure I really like the pose ... but I haven't had the time to sit down and draw or paint much lately. It's been too nice out and there's too much to do in the summer here up north before it get's cold again. So enjoy. I'll try to do more soon.

The original is for sale for $240.00 Size 20"(50cm) x 16"(40cm) Graphite on 140lb watercolour paper. Framed in a grey wooden frame that highlights the grain of the wood.

Even though you aren't happy with the prose, this is so glorious for the white on white on white rendered only in soft grays. Knowing what you do with feathers, yeah, I can see how rendering fur and especially white fur feels so easy! Wow.

Man, I've got to sell a book. And then commission you for a lynx or some other feline...

HOULY1970 In reply to robertsloan2 [2005-07-25 15:35:47 +0000 UTC]

Haha Thanks Robert ...

and Yeah I'm remembering a nice reference that I have for a linx .... I should dig it up ... that would be more challenging of a fur pattern to draw.

robertsloan2 In reply to HOULY1970 [2005-07-26 02:54:22 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I would love to see that! And could probably afford to buy the print if not commission you. Though if I sell this nonfiction book, that budget changes!

IT-Hammar In reply to HOULY1970 [2005-07-28 14:34:19 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, to be totally honest. it doesn't really matter, because all of your drawings (ok, well, 99.9 percent) are AWESOME! ANd I just love them ^_^ Now the big question is what you'd like me to make for *you*, or if you'd want one that's already done. (Anyway no compareable with yours)

HOULY1970 In reply to IT-Hammar [2005-07-28 14:48:54 +0000 UTC]

There are two of yours that I really love. One is " My Sexual Adventures " and the other is " Man " ..... Both of those are wonderful. I'd love either of them or something brand new but simular.

You'd have to let me know what you would want in trade though, ok ?

IT-Hammar In reply to HOULY1970 [2005-07-28 14:52:03 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, ok I'll think about it for a little. Alos, what would be ost easy to send has to be "Man", because "My Sexual Adventures" is on wood, and a little harder to send. But I guess I could also send that, even wit some harder work. Hehe.

Not long .... one evening .... say 5 - 6 hours it wasn't hard like doing feathers ... there isn't much real detail to it. just an illusion of detail.
