Heh. I still really like Horned Lark, but I am particularly amused by the iridescence on the spit spirals Llama. In all seriousness, the delicacy and complexity of the colouring on these is lovely.

[moonvoice]

Llama demanded a colour scheme I didn't expect. Very much 'no, pink and blue for EVERYTHING!'

I will always think of them as spit spirals now.

[silverjackal]

Well, Llamas genuinely do seem to like drama, so perhaps the colour scheme is part of the flamboyance! ;)

[moonvoice]

I'd even planned to use gold paint for the spit spirals and no, even that had to be blue. The effect is interesting, and actually really gorgeous I think on angled viewing, but it's not what I expected. I don't know if llama will ever be a personal guide of mine!

The lark is really speaking to me, for some reason. Something in the eyes. I don't know. They're lovely.

[moonvoice]

Thank you. He was powerful to work with, and commanded very striking colours as well. Quite magical.

LLAMA. XD Ahahah spit spirals, oh dear.

I love the llama's eyelashes.

Horned lark is fierce and proud looking.

[moonvoice]

I wish we had them here (horned larks, that is), they seem amazing.

OH MY GOD IT'S A LLAMA GET IN THE CAR!!!11!!!!

[perzephone]

Man, even pictures of llamas don't like me. I can just tell that spit spiral is headed straight for my face.

Seriously, even with blue and pink it still means serious business!

[lupagreenwolf]

I'm really loving what your backgrounds are looking like as of late, though the entire picture is awesome for each :)

[moonvoice]

Thanks! :D

[jenniology]

I come out of my perpetual silence just to say, "I love that llama!" XD Absolutely superb.

[moonvoice]

Thank you. :)

It really does not suck seeing all your new art over breakfast. :) (Which was actually hours ago but I wasn't awake enough to post anything.)

Horned Lark has the sweetest little face; I kind of want to pinch its cheeks or something. And Llama is really amazing - the lashes! The details around its nose!

[moonvoice]

I'm not sure if horned lark would like it's cheeks being pinched, but it'd be pretty awesome if you did it! *g*

[hrafn]

LOL! I think I'd have to settle for ruffling its cheek feathers, since birds don't really have pinchable cheeks.

Oh... Llama is BEAUTIFUL. Like... my mind is absolutely blown. I love the colour scheme, as unexpected as it is! It's extraordinary and I find myself really drawn to it. :)

<3!

[moonvoice]

Thank you so much! :D

[fadedwings]

Gorgeous! Both are great but I'm really loving the Llama!

[moonvoice]

Thanks! :D

[meeks]

*glee!* Llama!

I love the detail of the eyelashes as well, and the subtle, very llama-like expression.

[moonvoice]

The eyelashes were a lot of fun. :D

[ariestess]

These are so pretty! The Horned Lark looks so quizzical and amused [or would that be bemused?]. And the Llama has this totally regal and serene attitude that I am in love with.

[moonvoice]

Yay! Glad you like them. :)

[silere]

I have no idea how i missed this post!

Llama! :D i am loving the blue iridescence..mmmmmm. i don't -like- blue and pink together at all, but somehow it works here. i didn't even realize it -was- blue and pink until you said so. odd.

And horned lark is just...intense. i especially love the pointillism and shading on his wing. beautiful. <3
