[Art] Black-maned Liontail - black and white / precolouring.

[moonvoice]

EPIIIIIIIIIIC.
(okay, okay, I really really missed elaborate inking schemes!)

It's already 2.00pm,
the day's gone by really quickly.
But then, when you're doing a lot of really tiny dots
days tend to do that.

AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *flail*

OH MY GOD, I LOVE IT. HE'S SO PRETTY. XD

[spider_fox]

Oh my gods...

I just had an artgasm.

This is just EPIC. The inking of the gods, holy shit :O

[fadedwings]

Oh wow, just gorgeous!

[ariestess]

Oh wow! That is GORGEOUS!

[shatterpath]

It looks like a pheonix!

[welshwmn3]

That is incredible! All those dots. All those lines!

Wow!

[goddess_incarnate]

I really liked your description - of how the females take the feathers from the mane to line the nest.

I WISH HUMANS COULD DO THAT. Feathers and all. I like feathers! They're coooool.

I can't wait to see your picture inked. It shall be beyond all known forms of epic.

[travelyggdrasil]

The detail on this is mind blowing!

[elialshadowpine]

Oh, this is beautiful. I agree with the above comment about it looking almost like a phoenix. :)

[hrafn]

Oh my goodness! I really love this one's face :) And I really like the stylized flowers? leaves? in the background.

[ex_pale698]

Blows me away.

[allati]

Oh wow. Oh holy crap. That is incredible. the head and mane especially. Holy shit. And all the dots on those leaves, just, wut.

holy crap.

[xmetanoiax]

Whatever a sightgasm is, I think I just had one.

[silverjackal]

Oh that is beautiful. The details are amazing -- I keep inspecting different bits and marveling. :)

[unaspenser]

This is unbelievably beautiful! I'd never even heard of this bird before, but you really bring it to life!

[shimmerhawk]

Wow, that is epic! Just looking at it makes my hands hurt. I love the round leafy looking things in the background.

[amethystfirefly]

omg, that looks like a very, very snuggly bird!!!

[darakat]

The expression on its face is priceless, its like "I am a bird of paradise, look at me, love me!"

[moonvoice]

Hee! :D

[moonvoice]

Artgasm is such an awesome word. :)

[moonvoice]

Thank you! :)

[moonvoice]

Thank you! :D

[moonvoice]

Oo, I hadn't thought of that! I guess my love of the phoenix and feng huang and stuff comes through everywhere. :D

[moonvoice]

Lots of dots! :D

[moonvoice]

I really liked your description - of how the females take the feathers from the mane to line the nest.

Yeah, there'll be a longer version of that when I finish the colouring. :D Huzzah!

[moonvoice]

Thanks! :D

[moonvoice]

Thank you! :)

[moonvoice]

Yeah, stylised flowers and leaves. I think I'm going to call it the 'stoneleaf tree,' a tree with a weeping habit, and stone coloured / shaped leaves so that, from a great distance, it looks like boulders / mounds of pebbles.

[moonvoice]

Yay! :D

[moonvoice]

Yayeeeeee! :D

[moonvoice]

I'm liking these words like sightgasm and artgasm! :D

[moonvoice]

I had lots of fun inking it. Sort of. The veins in the leaves were a bitch. Lol.

[moonvoice]

It's part of the faux bird of paradise series so basically I made it up. :D

[moonvoice]

The round leafy looking things are leaves, just... non-standard size! Hee. Making up birds means I can make up the plants too.

[moonvoice]

A very fluffy, snuggly mane!

[moonvoice]

I think a lot of birds of paradise have this expression on their face!

[hrafn]

Ooooh! Very cool :)

[mirrorred_star]

That looks so cool!

Yay! Another fake bird of paradise! Yay!

I really love it when you do backgrounds like this, with trees and things.

[moonvoice]

I really really enjoy it too! I'm always shocked I don't do it more, since I love it so much!

[sidheblessed]

*does a funny little dance and faints*

[tangledaxon]

The detail in your work is always incredible, but this? Wow!

[ansuz]

Wow, the inking is amazing, I love this piece. :D

[lupagreenwolf]

Holy Christ on a diet--that's IMPRESSIVE.
