Description "Strike a pose that would be wothry for effigy" the Fox thought to himself. Strutting his stuff all around the fields. Lucky for him his stuff was the right suff to be captured in the only way that fit him, a good way. No ordinary strut would fit this vermilion soul, this shining garnet god. No, the earth itself bends to his heavenly frame for the utmost appeal when the moment comes for him to be captured for all to see.


It's finally finished after what seemed like forever. Trying something new with perspective thats why its all round and such I put a lot of extra detail in this that I felt I shouldn't so notice it. NOTICE!!! The front grass is blurry for a reason, because I made it that way. I made this at a ginormous file size so I was able to get more detail and such --- 2400 x 3600, sized down for your pleasure.
I'd like to thank for the title help

Enjoy and Full View

It looks better without the border
Edit: 10/1/04
made my signature larger
Edit: 10/2/04
I darkenend the sky near the top and lightened the middle/bottom of the sky.
I turned the eye a little more black, I think it looks better now. (Thanks catsup )
I added a few more birds flying about.
I touched up parts of the fur. Added more orange parts and lightend the pink a little.
Some touchup's on the grass, darknened a few areas.

A lot of updates @_@ but now I feel its finished.

Interesting perspective. At first it's weird to see this huge paw coming from nowhere, then you seee the clouds and the grass and it all makes sense

Here I am...Viewing your page curiously to see if you updated, since I can't view my scary message centre without inducing another heart attack. "Fox Trot", eh? I waited...I waited...I squealed. I mean, perspective much to the entire max, man! Fox Trot, indubitably! You make this creature so cool, from the great background of swirling clouds and twisted mountains to the beautifully light, faintly blurry grass. Sure, the perspective of the paws is exaggerated, but that is what makes this picture so delightful! The fact it pulls you in and makes you go, "Where the heck does this dude live?!" I mean, wow. You're fantastic. Fan-fricking-tastic. I'd love to kiss your feet, but I'd only end up putting my own foot in my mouth. So I'll just leave good comments and love your work for what it is ^.^ For you! I can't wait to see more!

This is soo cute!
I'm more and more in love with your style.
Only crit: I don't like the blurry grass in the foreground.

Man that's an absolutely spectacular composition...although i will have to agree with kyza that the beatle is slightly distracting. sorry
It seems as if you were there to capture the moment in a manner of speaking, with those bubble lens things that make the world seem all round and in a, well...bubble.

The scale...breathtaking. I can only imagine the look of the print...

Interesting angle, I like how the fox's color contrast with the envoirment as well. Lovely texture quality on this image as well, the close up is even better, when its shrinked to thumb size it did loose its power somewhat. ^_^

Looks like we're looking at the fox through a gazing ball. Nifty. I can't really see anything new to critique, except maybe to add a few birds wayyy up in the sky. Might be a nice touch. Props!

awesome!

KylieKeene [2004-09-10 12:43:54 +0000 UTC]

I overly LOVE the perspective on this one! I've had this in my wishlist for ages and have been waiting to come fav and comment! here I am!

The colours are so vibrant it's going to look so awesome on my wall in here! Everything about this just really makes me stop and just look.
The only things I don't really like is the beetle it takes my attention away from the fox and everything surrounding it!

But I love it non the less

lukavi [2004-09-10 04:20:13 +0000 UTC]

Mnd bender. Tis looks like you got a cam attached a fish eye lense on it and did a worm's eyeview of the fox and the backdrop. But of course this is no photograph and is clearly lovingly made by hand. Which makes it WOWworthy.

How's it been, chobi? Haven't been here in a while. Youre stuff is great as usual

kittiekatzluver [2004-09-08 22:22:41 +0000 UTC]

I love the birds in the sky. The little bug is adorable, too.

The perspective is awesome. I haven't seen many people be able to pull off that kind of rounded-perspective... I haven't even seen many people try! Props to you for attempting it and pulling it off ^^

I love it. Especially the clouds, and the water droplets ^^


Beautiful piece.

camelhijackation [2004-09-06 15:35:29 +0000 UTC]

obviously, a strange intake on perspective that does a good number on the eye's...But its a great angle. (if not a tad bit dizzy and daft ). First off, great work cho..Its just great over all. The shading is great and the shapes and characters all well drawn...you show your style well in this. And look!. your little journal bug has found its way into the deviation. But. i'd have to say i like the smaller , more violet/maron bug with the golden wings better.
The sky is very captivating with the swirling clouds, it seems to be creating a vortex of sorts....the mountians could use a little more depth, their fine as they are, but i'm a nip picker i know Nice touch up with the water droplets. you did a great job bro

I like it, nice piece. I like the distortion on the animal, and the swirly sky, gives it a strange but effective look.

Even when i saw it when it was WIP, i knew that it will be even more amazing when it's done. and it is. if i had money i'd buy a print. when i get a job and a card, i promise i'll buy a print.
