As various of my colleagues from New York might say:

STEAMBOIDS!

Holy gods. That is STUNNING. The shading just flows so perfectly, and it's an excellent color combination. This is one of your best pieces ever, IMO, which is saying a hell of a lot!

STEAM BIRDS, GO, GO, BE FRREEEEE!!!!1!!!

Absolutely fantastic!!

[kehleyr.livejournal.com]

Aw I'm absolutely LOVING the colours!!

[anrui-ichido.livejournal.com]

WOW! The colour scheme is incredible. Actually, everything about this is incredible. Why am I not rich so I can just buy your everything?

[bunny-m.livejournal.com]

Already awesome!

^_^

(Also, I'm already lusting after this artwork, dammit. 'Sif I have a hope of affording it/calling dibs>)

The luminosity (if you'll pardon the dreadful pun) in this is wonderful. I particularly like the contrast in the energy spirals, and the gradation of "shine" on each bird. :)

The answer to this question might not mean anything to me as a non-artist, but you mentioned earlier that you radically altered how you intended to colour this. Was it a difference in medium (i.e. a different type of pencil), or different type of effect that you originally had in mind?

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

It was actually originally going to have a very very pale, turquoise / white / pale green background. So I literally went with the opposite side of the spectrum into browns, blacks and then a very dark green smudged over some the background.

It still needs some lifting out in person. When the light isn't hitting it, it's quite flat. But when the light *is* hitting it (i.e. this photo), it already looks great. So I think it paid off. Just a matter of working the flat colour in a way where I like it.

[silverjackal.livejournal.com]

I can see where what you originally intended would have been beautiful, but I honestly think the current colour scheme is more dramatic. I'd definitely say it paid off! :)

It's beautiful, i love the colours

[pyewackettt.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh, those colours! <3 How stunning!

[luwana.livejournal.com]

So. Beautiful. The colours. They pretty. Ooooooooooo.

[onyxrising.livejournal.com]

That's amazing. Your work just keeps getting better. Please tell me that you'll be doing a series of steampunk animals?

[ariestess]

That is gorgeous!

[silere.livejournal.com]

Love it! glowy! I was actually rather surprise that this one wasn't done yet.. so, excited to see what changes. :)

[hrafn.livejournal.com]

But - it's -not- finished?!

[sotepetsenu.livejournal.com]

EPIC RADNESS THERE, DUDE

Holy crap, it's not done yet?

You are WIN.

[pyraxis]

I agree with everyone else who's said this is one of your best ones. I haven't been able to pin down what's different about it, but even in the first stages it had an extra kick of - vibrancy? Something like that.

[jkoyanagi.livejournal.com]

Oooh! You just keep getting better. The colors in this one are particularly beautiful.

[unaspenser.livejournal.com]

Another beautiful piece!

[white9-fox.livejournal.com]

Holy fucking shizzle on a ham sandwich O_O

I'm adding this to my print wish list!

[welshwmn3.livejournal.com]

Wait, this is still unfinished?

What more are you going to do with it? Just, wow!

[bodlon.livejournal.com]

I love the lines in this, and the greens and blues.
