Please forgive the ink shininess in the photographs. From some angles it's visible, but not this visible, unfortunately messing around in Photoshop didn't help matters much. :)

Was the texture of the ink background intentional? It reminds me of cracked desert "soil".

I like how this turned out. When I saw the pre-color version, it had a sad feeling to it, but with color it feels more contemplative instead.

[moonvoice]

Yeah actually, the textural thing was partially intentional (just not to come out as strongly as it did in the second photo! Heh.), otherwise I would have used paint and really blocked it out. :)

Awesome :D

"Oh, that's powerful."

It really feels like an image one could meditate on and ponder with.

Oh, that is striking!

[burningbright]

Oooh wow. This is so much starker than your usual as totem pieces. Contemplative and striking. Very evocative. I like it!

[ariestess]

Oh wow! That is strikingly gorgeous! And that background texture? Fascinating!

[lupagreenwolf]

No pun intended--this one really leaps out at me, even as calm as the 'roo Himself is.

[hrafn]

Oh my goodness.

That's really powerful.

Ah this is *stunning*. Really evocative of night and the desert, and the sharp shadows one sees in full sunlight, that are all black and sharp edged. I know I've mentioned it before, but I really like the subtle energy wave on this, too. It's certainly a very powerful piece! :)

I think this may be one of my all-time favourites, and that is saying a lot. I am absolutely awed. <3

Will there be a print available? :)

[moonvoice]

Yes! Prints are available, if you look up on the post, you'll see I've provided a link in the actual post itself. :)
