[Art] Polar Bear as Totem

[moonvoice]

heathwitch, do you want to email me at ophelias.diary@gmail.com to yay or nay this piece?






I actually went with more 'deep sea' colouring, than icy colouring, because I feel that this more accurately represents the transition that our beloved, fragile and fierce polar bear is undertaking as I write this.

I also get the sense that polar bear doesn't mind the colours I chose. Heh. This is one of my favourites that I've done for a while, actually.

Iridescent green in the energy circles.

He looks surprisingly serene despite being in such peril.

*nods* I never really get - from many 'collective' animals - a sense of 'woe impending doom' unless I'm anthropomorphising.

Polar bear is too strong an animal to ever go truly extinct; like the Thylacine, I think.
