One of my favourite civets, I couldn't resist!

Bloody-Sekhmet In reply to shiverz [2010-09-20 13:05:49 +0000 UTC]

yes I agree..but you know...it's hard to access those area..the enviroment is harsh and unvorgiving...it's incredible that they could survive in those habitat...
the one that concern me is tiger hunting..that still active illegally in indonesia..
indonesia already lost 2 species of tiger...
and only one species left...
thats why I use tiger as main character in my comic...

It is amazing how so many creatures live within those harsh conditions, I suppose it's what they enjoy if it's a hard to access area, less people ^___^

It is heartbreaking when I hear species becoming critically endangered, it still confuses me when people STILL illegally hunt them too, why don't they understand the fragility of species?

Great choice of character! Tigers are beautiful and mysterious.

because a lo of those animal are highly priced..
and whey they became rare..they'll become more expensive..
I love to go to "Mt.Tangkubanperahu" in bandung..
it's very beautiful..and they said that it's still teeming with wildlives..
but as far I can see almost no wildlife arout it...
tourism and human expansion drove them farther and deeper..
ironicly..the forest department who preserves wildlives has a preserved tiger and preseved leopard in their office...wich makes me sad ...

I didn't even realise it was my 400th piece, maybe I should clean up my gallery!

Schmanks dude, the ruffles were fun to draw!

This is SO damned original! Ive yet to see a binturong in anthro form and Im glad it was you who I saw draw it first.
What I like best? THE TAIL! The degree of detail in each piece of fur is so delicate and really gives a natural sheen to the texture.

shiverz In reply to syxx [2010-07-16 22:24:31 +0000 UTC]

I had many joys drawing that tail ^___^ I thought I'd go crazy with the fuzziness this time round!

Thankyou muchly m'dear!

Oh man, that's some spectacular fur-work! The stylised strokes really lend it a depth and density, and the little details like the hair-piece are an excellent touch. The aquamarine fade is a lovely bit of technical painting, too - not to mention a great choice of colour to show off the subject

Thanks dude!

I actually tried some fur-colouring techniques from some well know Deviants and I'm glad it worked out so well ^___^ The bright backdrop colours were also really fun to create!
