[Art] Esper as Totem.

[moonvoice]

I have been sitting on this one for a while,
Esper is a dobermann (that's doberman in places that aren't Australia or the UK or some parts of Europe),
Esper is also the loved and loving companion of a wonderful friend of mine,
and was commissioned as a gift.
SO much fun to work on. I am starting to really love animal companion commissions.
Especially when it's an animal companion I've been seeing photos of for a while, and really love, and think is awesome.

That's so gorgeous. I love how you rendered the fur.

[moonvoice]

The fur was a lot of fun. I wanted to get that sort of velvety, short-fur sense that you get with sleek dogs like dobermanns and greyhounds. It was awesome. :D

*lots and lots of hearts.*

I had a smile on my face during so much of the process of illustrating Esper.

That's really lovely ^^

[moonvoice]

Thank you. :D

OMG ADORABLE!

And you do a great job with animal commissions too, with finding the lines and the "aura" colors. It, to me, reveals more about the animal's personality than just an image itself.

[moonvoice]

Eee, thank you so much! I really like finding the things about animal companions that sort of shine out and make them unique, or more than just 'Dobermann as Totem.' And that's a lot of fun.

Aww, that is so sweet!

[moonvoice]

Thank you! :)

[azhure]

eeee! Esper!!

I am in awe of every piece that you create, but I really love this one so much. The colours resonate with J so, so much, too.

[moonvoice]

:D Thank you. One day I should do Moet/Maybe.

[azhure]

YES!!!

Oh man, now I want to commission Jilly :)

[burningbright]

I saw this in person today! :D So shiny and I love the purples and you captured her energy so well~

[moonvoice]

Eeeee. I love that you saw it in person today. <3

[kehleyr]

[moonvoice]

Eee, thank you!

He's got a lot of character.

[moonvoice]

I hope I can get over my fear of flying and hopefully meet her one day, she has so much personality in her photos. :D

[white_rabbit]

Eeee, Esper!! Based on pictures I have seen, you have captured the energy so, so well!

Perhaps one day I'll have to commission you to draw Leeloo for me? :)

[moonvoice]

Oh god, Leeloo! The giant dog! I'd love to draw Leeloo. <3

[white_rabbit]

YAY! I'll be making bonus soon at work, so I think it may be easier for me to budget/justify an art commission or two. :D

[herlander_refugee]

As always....sensitive and stunning!

Say, whatcha got in wolves just now? I may need to purchase a wolf totem work before Yule-tide, as a gift. Gotta start saving my pennies....

[moonvoice]

Hiya,

I don't have any wolves available at the moment but you can always consider a commission if you like? Feel free to email me at ophelias.diary@gmail.com

Such a serious looking individual - so much life in the drawing.

[moonvoice]

Thank you! Also, I know I see it a lot, but I love your icon, with that little grey mouse. :)

So beautifully done!
