Hmmm... I'll definitely have to consider buying one of these prints.
So, you're from Perth too? Have you heard of Project Numbat [link] ?
I've just joined in the last few weeks but I haven't been to a meeting yet.
I love numbats. I just wish that more people knew about them and that they weren't endangered.

Thank you so much! this is actually one of my personal favourites in terms of works that I've done, but very few other people appreciate it, so it's lovely to get comments like this!

It's odd that it wouldn't have much attention. 
I also forgot to watch you... fixed it now.

Thanks, I really love numbats. I always enjoy seeing them at our local Zoo, they are really adorable animals.

The aboriginal-style pattern fits so well! I love it!

I don't think it's an Aboriginal style; more just a generic 'tribal' or primal style. But thank you!

Sorry for my mistake then. xD Our local zoo here in Missouri has an 'Austrialia' area with similar patterns, so I assumed. :B

*Similar patterns on the walls of the buildings in the area, I mean.

Numbats are so loveable.

Ohh. The first ever painting by you I saw was a numbat. You make them look so special, I can see why you like this one a lot. The face, especially the eye is breathtaking.

I love the coplex background, it looks slightly hypnotic. It seems appropriate too, what with the attention-to-detail thing mentioned in the write-up. I love how you work that stuff in.
I also love numbats, they're awesome.

This is great. The numbat is cute, and the rhythm and movement are mesmerizing.

Fantastic..
I'm sorry to ask, but how long it takes you to shape most of your creations?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
These days um... maybe about 4-5 hours? Inking with the fineliner takes up most of that, colouring is only about 45 minutes. Sometimes more if I'm doing more layers (like the Malleefowl picture took some time to colour).
Something like this would have taken me aaaaaaages a year ago.
