These are ALL commissions. And currently there's one slot left, but don't worry; I'll relist!

I've been streaming a lot of this inking live on Google+'s Hangout feature.
If you want to watch, go check me out over there as Pia Ravenari. You don't need a webcam or anything. :)

Leo (the Rottweiler) - who seriously has one of the most good-natured, open faces on just about any dog I've ever met.

They are all awesome. :D The gryphon is eeee and I might have to add it to my "get a print of" list. >_>

And the viper! Ohmigoodness. The perspective is just craziness. Those two circles on either side, like eyes or punctures or tunnels.

(And of course, roughie, <3! But I told you that already.)

I've watercolour pencilled yours today! So close to being finished now! I'm hoping tomorrow. And then posting, and then yay! :D

[azhure]

Yay! I can't wait to see the leopard coloured.

[moonvoice]

You missed it being coloured / finished today. It looks pretty amazing. But there will be photos / scans. :)

[white_rabbit]

Weee, I just loved watching these get inked! :D But it's also nice to see them all in focus and prettified!

[moonvoice]

Heh. I often wonder how in focus the webcam looks! Huzzah for close up details. :)

These are nothing short of spectacular. All of them. I am hard pressed, very hard pressed, so say which one I like best. And of course I love all of them just as they are, uncoloured. Mmm.

The Goshawk Griffon, you know I'm quite familiar with the species yes? And you've captured their attitude in flight beautifully in this.

The Rhino viper compells me with its' beauty, which is saying something because I have a healthy fear of the species in the wild. (They can be very cryptic, and therefore blasted hard to avoid antagonizing.)

The Roughlegged Hawk is another species I see a fair bit routinely, particularly in fall, and again you've managed the habitual expression wonderfully. They give a great impression of being comparatively thoughtful (for raptors), and this one conveys that very much.

Of course I adore Senor Rottweiler, and his owner will likely be in transports at his portrait.

And the melanistic Persian leopard is actually one that I look forward to seeing coloured, for all I really like the black and white. I get the feelin that there are some deep subtleties there, that will show more in the colouring. I'm particularly taken with the vibrissae, and the ear.

The rhino viper was a tough one to colour, but I feel now, with some distance from the picture that I did a good job. They have such amazing colouring, but an energy that was very picky in terms of pose!

The rough-legged hawk information is interesting; that they are more thoughtful than many other raptors. I felt a greater sensitivity overall while working with the energy, and it's been interesting overall. :D

The leopard reminds me greatly of one of my own totems...the mountain lion. I really adore your work, and am a grateful owner of a single piece.

I even framed the wee photos and hung them in sequence, just to remind me to always check out your newest work!

[moonvoice]

*blush* Thank you! I can't wait to put the coloured versions of all of these up. :D

[herlander_refugee]

I am sure none of us can wait either!

[redsixwing]

I have an obvious bias, but these are all awesome.

Rhino Viper's snake-eyes wheels are really striking, and the Goshawk-gryphon has a wonderful "whoosh!" feeling to it, and the symbols around Rough-Legged Hawk keep making me want to read them as kanji. *s*

[moonvoice]

Goshawk-gryphon may be finished tomorrow. Whee!

[drgnhlr]

gryphon is now on my list of new stuff to get; perhaps the viper too...

awesome stuff!

[moonvoice]

Yay! And thank you. <3
