[crowebasalt.livejournal.com]

goodness, that's lovely.

You!!!

[perzephone.livejournal.com]

You are so amazing! It's beautiful and stirring and I don't have enough words to do it justice!

I'm convinced that there are pockets of thylacines somewhere--they're just good at hiding. Or maybe it's just wishful thinking.

But very, very beautiful!

[rainsingingwolf.livejournal.com]

Wow! That's very powerful.

[jazzpizza.livejournal.com]

That's absolutely wicked. Good show.

I am so envious of your talent!

Gorgeous work- you are an extraordinary artist. :-)

Thank you. I like this one, which is odd because inevitably halfway through a picture I start hating it. But this is one of the few where I like how it evolved and turned out.

I like the flowers down the bottom. Lol.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Thanks dude. :D Appreciated.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I love the little light sparkly things, personally. *grins* I'm not sure what to do with this one now, currently it's gone straight into storage, as most of my pieces do. Lol.

I used to believe they do existed, but I don't anymore,
though it would be awesome if they did.
Even if they did, I hope they're never ever found again anyway
and they exist in this place in my head known as
realbutnotreal. :D

Re: You!!!

Thank you, that is so kind! :D
I put art up here sometimes, and I like how 'magical' this one is.
Plus it's nice to just sit down at the end of the day,
watch Scrubs and immerse yourself in drawing a dancing thylacine. *grin*

Thank you muchly. *hugs*

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Thank you muchly. *hugs*
Hope you're doing okay, saw your weird dreams,
boy howdy, don't you love how they trip you up first thing in the morning?

I like this, it's pretty and turned out well overall. I also like the silvery color scheme and the use of movement in it. :)

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :D I appreciate that. It is pretty, it's not going to profoundly change anyone's life, but I think it'd look nice in a cool-colour scheme in someone's house. :D

Your art is magnificent!
This reminds me of the tales of "foxfire" from the Northern Lands, about how a great fox runs along, striking the snow with his tail, sending up sparks which become the Aurora...

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Oo, I haven't heard that one before.
Wish we had something like the Northern Lights in Oz.

[sidheblessed.livejournal.com]

Fuck, that is so beautiful!

Hey, it's a good way to unwind. I love getting absorbed in making art. ^_^

And your result, however, exhausted you may unforunately be, was fantastic! I love this piece. It rivals some of my favourites in your Wadsuna series.

[filia-seal.livejournal.com]

I have to say that I do like this image. I really like the way the piece is stylized, but not stiff. You're staying true to the style of shamanic art while injecting a fluidity of motion and energy. Maybe it's a reflection of current times. Everything is in constant motion and it even affects you. More so than the classical visionary artists.

I know your life is a bitch, but your art is indeed getting interesting.

*hugs back

There have been many a time in my life when I actually was rendered incapable of functioning due to such dreams. (as in, had to stay home from school/cancel plans/etc)

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Actually this is more reminiscent of my highschool style, before I was even interested in shamanism. It's use of colour and shape is expressionist and maybe even a little cubist / futurist. :) So while it's not classic, it is very derivative of some of my favourite styles. I consider myself an expressionist when it comes to more formal modern forms of art, and so while this might have a stylised flavour, I would consider it more expressionist than shamanist.

In this one I went back to basics. Sick of drawing 'shamanic style' (the oracle deck is on hold) I drew in the way that I used to in highschool, it was nice to get back to it actually.

Have you ever seen the work of Franz Marc? He is amazing. :)

[filia-seal.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're right! I really like his Foxes. And the muscles in his Yellow Cow. These must really be impressive to see in person. The cow piece is nearly 1.5 x 2 meters.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

:D Franz Marc is my hero in art, alongside Pablo Picasso (I know I know, he's really well known, but I really love his art. :D)

I love working on large scale myself, all my pieces when I was in highschool were on canvases that were often over 2 metres by a metre or so. One of them still hangs in the teacher's lounge. But I can't work on that scale anymore because of room constraints (namely, I don't have a table, let alone my own house). I'm hoping when I move out I can get back to it.

As is, I work on A2 paper, which is just under a metre in length. But still, it's not big enough. *grin*

I must say this one ranks up there at the top cutes....SPLENDID!!!

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Yay! :D
