[Art] Sketches! :D

[moonvoice]

A whole lot of stuff,
though I want to be working on a larger piece.
Workmen are outside the back door,
finally putting down the paving.
Oh I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait.

Even at this stage the Aardwolf is very striking! I'm also very curious to see the wolves and the sugar glider. (Honestly, I find your leaves glorious in and of themselves, so I like the pieces that incorporate them even more.)

[moonvoice]

I love eucalyptus leaves. They have this really 'unfussy' way about them. Like an elongated, uncoordinated tear-drop. And then because they're eaten and parasitised by so many animals, they often have these big splits or cracks in them. They lend themselves to art. *hugs them*

The sugar glider will be interesting. They were one of my all-time favourite animals as a child (and were one of the reasons I started exploring animal rehab, though I ended up with birds as a primary interest). So it's like...nostalgia. :D

Aardwolves are intense.

Okay, these are gorgeous! The aardwolf looks like some sort of juvenile hyena to me. Then again, I probably have hyenas on the brain again... LOL! The sugar glider makes me want to kiss it and cuddle it.

[moonvoice]

It's probably the punk-mohawk that aardwolves have that lends it a sense of adolescent awesomeness. :D

[ariestess]

LOL! You're probably right!

[paleo]

I know they are all going to be awesome, but I'm especially excited about Coelacanth. Because prehistoric fishies are love!

[moonvoice]

They definitely are. :D

[tsukikokoro]

!!! Can you hold "Metallic Mini - Howling Wolves" so I can buy it as soon as it's finished? Or does it already belong to someone?

[moonvoice]

Consider it holded! :)

[tsukikokoro]

*runs around the house WHOOOOOOOOOing!*

<3 :D

Daaamn! I was going to ask this. D:

Yay!

[ysabetwordsmith]

I can't wait to see coelecanth finished. It's a favorite of mine and has been for years.

Re: Yay!

[moonvoice]

:D I'm so glad to be drawing a Coelacanth.

[bunny_m]

Coelecanth!


And I'll stop there this time. ;)

[moonvoice]

Hee! <3

[shushca]

I *love* the peafowl, especially the fact that their heads together form a heart (yes, I'm sappy). I'd love to see how they progress from sketches.
Axx

[white_rabbit]

Howling Wolves. Be still my heart.

Also SUGAR GLIDER. :D I do so love when you post up sketches.

[witchchild]

wow, loving those!

[scatteredshells]

YAAAAAAAY PAVING!

Also: peafowl <3

[outlineofash]

Something about Coelacanth drew me in right away. I think it's the sharp little teeth. :D

Can't wait to see the progress for these!

[sundog]

I'm...so in love with the howling wolves!

[jeshyr]

This level of detail makes a sketch absolutely excellent to use as an embroidery pattern. Is there a way I could negotiate/organise/pay to arrange with you that I could use some like these as embroidery bases?

The one with the peacocks especially sesems to be perfect for my sort of embroidery!

[jeshyr]

PS
I know these are very personal to you so if the answer is "no" that's cool too!! Wouldn't want to make you uncomfortable or feeling that you have to agree. :)

[moonvoice]

Sure, just send me an email over at ophelias.diary@gmail.com :)

I've been loving your series of pairs, just FYI. VERY adorabubbles.
