I think death as a horse playing a dirge on a flute is a beautiful thing- you've got an interesting juxtaposition of a very native american rooted horse with an almost Miyazakian asian dragon lizard, tentacles and all. Not sure I understand whats going on but there is movement and transparence and its awesome. Love it

Oh my god!!! The Piper looks INCREDIBLE! *freaky outy* He's so....awesome looking! The way you drew him is amazing! His mane and tail are perfect! And his face! I adore his rib cage, and that leg angled toward the viewed, and the flowy-drippy spirityness. And the moon? Love! The muted tones fit so well here, the black, and blue, with blue-gray tints on the white. The shading is incredible, amazing watercolor skills!
You captured The Piper so beautifully here, couldnt have done better!!
Oh! Did you know Alligator is my life totem, or was that just some crazy amazing coincidence?
*flails around in happiness* Can I like, pay to have you ship the original, or at least a print or something, cus I am totally in love with this painting!! Youre SO getting extra goodies in your package!
Thank you SO so much for doing this for me! It came out better than I had imagined it could.

This is so well done, your style is really amazing, the picture itself reminds me of Unchekula in Native American folklore. Well done!

The energy and movement portrayed in this is indeed one of the most prime examples I've seen in your gallery, and that's saying a lot since every single thing you submit is beautiful in one way or the other. Not only do the color choices work so well for the scene, the way you blended transparency effects and used such amazing designs for both of them is mindblowing.
If this isn't a favelove, I have no idea what is. :C

Damn you again sapphire! Its really beautiful.
Do you do much wet in wet painting or are you more of a let it dry then next colour?
I just can't seem to get my watercolours to blend that well.
