Description
Here is one of the color pieces I did for the Endangered Ark Art Card Deck, created and organized by the wonderful and talented Foxfeather. I did the Amur leopard, Black rhino, and Day gecko. As always, I like my pencils better than my originals (more practice for me, eh?), so I will be posting both versions: the pencils in Scraps, and color versions in my main gallery.

NOTE: These are the images as I did them; they are slightly different (cropped, as necessary) for the final cards. In doing these, I kept in mind that they would be printed smaller, so I tried to be conscious of how they'd look scaled down - would they read okay? would they clog up too much? does anything jump out as wrong? - and so on. I attempted to be as true to the animals as possible, looking at many images of the animals to make sure I had a good sampling of references (mmmm, research) — though I am not a photorealist, so they are noticeably stylized.

I have some for sale at my BigCartel store here: [link]
