So excite. :D
Also, huzzah for glowy snakes,
black cats,
and little island wombats.

Wombat is CUTE, python is amazing, but I think my favourite is Sammi. His/her(?) personality is so present.

I am very entranced by White-Lipped Python. Holy wow, those colours.

I adore what you've done with Sammi and can't wait until the original arrives! Thank you again for creating such a lovely image of her. I'm so very glad that her image could help serve as a marker of the success of your efforts in working with cats.

Wow! The colouring on these is very sophisticated. Not that your work is ever crude or unreflective, but it's like you've made a stylistic leap with the colour in these where the background is as much part of the "totem" as the subject, at least to my eye. Particularly the last (who is a *gorgeous* cat). I'm especially intrigued with the white lipped Python. In terms of personal preference, of course the Wombat is my favorite (including the greens, etc.) but in terms of the most "powerful" piece out of these it's Sammi the cat, who is simply *present*. Marvelous! Thank you for sharing them with us, and I'm certain the recipients will be over the moon to receive them.

Oh wow. Wombat was kind of "cute, but not attention-getting" for me in the sketch/linework stages, and then you added color and it's like "holy crap!" amazeballs. So much contrast and vividness and I love the addition of the plant!

Sammi is utterly captivating. ♥

And of course White-Lipped Python is incredible, but I already squeed at you about that one! :>

Oh, Leiopython is /gorgeous/!

These are all fantastic, but I am totally in love with Leiopython. *swoons* So much more beautiful than I could have imagined!

[laughinglotus]

I particularly love the python. :)

Can't begin to express my gratitude. This has meant a lot to me, thank you so much for doing it.

You really got the 'oil' color of the python spot-on. So beautiful! I am guessing that was a commission for someone? (And if so, I'm fairly certain I know who and zi's going to love it!)

The cat is also stunning. The oranges and yellows really add a nice contrast to the black fur.

I am not ashamed to admit I squeaked "snake!" when I saw this – alas, predictability. It's quite a lovely image. Also, a little off topic, but: I just saw, for the first time, the montage of previous totems you have posted on your commissions sticky. I love the animals that you choose (and other people request?) to illustrate.

The colors for all of these are so striking, but I'm really entranced with the Sammi piece. Those eyes!
