[Art] The Swimming Platypus - Complete

[moonvoice]

Woot!

My schedule is now clear for the Wandsuna picture!

I love the colours in this. Pale violet + olive green + sepia has to be one of my favourite colour schemes ever.






Prints, mugs, greeting cards and so on available here.

I particularly like the details of the large energy circle (is it literally a bubble?). The whole thing is just charming.

[gone_fishing]

Oh, this is lovely. You really did well with the colour combination, too, and I like the energy circle/bubble at its head. <3

You know, it's the back feet that I really adore. I just want to tickle them. 'course, then I'd probably get jabbed with the poisonous spurs...

[lupagreenwolf]

Huh. It's not a color combination I would automatically think of, but here it definitely works!

[tangledaxon]

I want to cuddle the platypus!

The details, as always, are just amazing. I keep staring at the front feet.

Oh wow! This is gorgeous! The colors are really nice in this piece. The greens and purples blend in ways that I wouldn't normally think would work. Fascinating piece!

*SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE* My favourite!! So pretty!

[urbanimal]

He is adorable. :)

[amethystfirefly]

Wow. The color combination really, really makes this.

I was expecting the water plants to be a more vivid green, but I like it. In the new year, I'm hoping that I might have some extra cash to start a print collection (it's been something I've wanted to do for a number of years now) and I think this might be among them.

This has such a calm feel to it, I can almost hear the bubbles gently being formed (like in a fish tank I guess?). Beautiful piece.

[bodlon]

Awesome! :D

[white_rabbit]

This induces so much happy. :D

I really like this. It feels deeply tranquil/restful, and pleasing, like being underwater (or at least my limited experience of being underwater has been). I really like the color combo. It seems almost like there are two perspective views: the obvious one, and one where the circle/bubble and background are actually the view you see looking straight up through the water, where there is a bright circle of light, and darker areas around it. I think that contributes to the underwateryness of the composition.

Huh. I just realized I have had a number of shirts in greens or purples that would match this picture.

Love it!

*is so in love with this* It's utterly beautiful!
