[Art] River Otter as Totem

[moonvoice]

I love the way this one lights up in the light. It's also a bit warmer in real life. My scanner loathes a lot of blues. *shakes fist*

This is as amazing as I hoped when I saw the draft/linework last night. I love the way the fur looks wet, and the whole thing is just sublime. But then again, you know how much I love otters. ^_^

I find this picture very feminine, if that makes sense -- all those blues and greens, I find they're speaking of our Mother OceanEarth. I also love the way you've managed to show the sleek wetness of the otter's fur, as if she's just slipped out of the water. And the expression in her eyes ... Simply wonderful!

To me, otters usually signify the joyfulness of life -- but this one seems to speak of mystery and motherhood. Glorious, and one to which I've definitely lost my heart! :)

he's adorable!

Awww, otters are so cute, and so is this one! What type of river otter is it supposed to be, out of curiosity?

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Just a conglomeration. It's not a specific type. :D

Ooooo! SHINY!

Aww...that is so adorable. I reeeally like it. *is sitting here envisioning it framed and on the wall in front of her, just above her desk. *grins*

Are you interested in making a second one? (Do you do a carbon copy of the first piece when you do a second and third rendition of a particular animal btw, or is each piece different?)
