Description
An Acrylic painting of a squirrel. For once no horror, war, political conflict and demonic possessions. Just a little guy chewing a nut.Related content

I love this perfectly normal, innocent squirrel happily sitting in your gallery amongst all your other demonic, terrifying works.
A+, good fellow.

That's what the squirrel wants you to think.... In truth he's the most deadly creature to ever exist. Love the piece.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THIS IS THE SCARIEST PIECE OF THEM ALL
in all honesty i thought htis was a photograph until I zoomed on it its very well done. The fur is immaculate as well as the details such as the shading particularly around the ear were you can desern where the little flap is that all animals have there lol. Very nice~

Very J.J.Audubon,
was wondering why you did only death and destruction in your art...Guess it sells huh ?
But this at least is neutral and well wrought just the same...
At least now I know you CAN use your prodigious talent for something other than death metal...
I can't help but ask (since I'm, umm,a bit more mature(older,LOL) than the average user here),and I hope you'll forgive my temerity,but,do you have any idea about your effect as a role model? And have you given any thought about what your images promote? I love your work,don't get me wrong,and I know you're very talented,but at a certain point perhaps you might consider what it is that this so very powerful imagery implicitly promotes...and whether the average viewer (kids) has any capacity to discriminate between what they see in awesome artwork and the ethics and morality that we would all )hopefully) like to see in our world...
Am I the first to bring this up to you ?
Just saying...
Oh, and it IS a beautiful squirrel.

Very interesting points there. I hope the game-art I've done encourages people to immerse themselves in different worlds and have fun. A lot of the designs in this gallery are for tabletop games - so I'm guessing they'll be used by people sitting in a group having a blast taking imaginary pot-shots at each other. I don't think it gets any deeper or darker than that! (for me at least)

You know,
I may be WAY out on a limb here laying claim to the moral high ground.
And for all I know these characters may be prescribed to you by the game companies.
It may be that you are simply trying to make a living just doing what they ask...
And of course game playing itself is considered recreation,and should be fun.
It's just that ALL your characters are designed so that their distinguishing features are how well and in how many creative ways they can kill (other humans).
I mean,could you not design a character who has magical abilities to SAVE lives? How bout a Florence Nightingale type who can bring people back from the dead,wielding Sacred Geometry devices of defense that are capable of rendering offensive weapons useless ? My point is,your imagery may not be dark for you,but it's effect is perhaps a bit more far reaching than you know or are taking into account.
Ok,I'll shut up now.LOL

Hehe - I have done such a character a while back. A healer with compassion enough to cure allies and enemies alike. Will post in the gallery at some point just for you!!
