Art - (I'm not telling)

[hwango]

I'm not listing the title in the livejournal post this time, because I don't want to diminish the impact of the piece. Should be safe for work, though, in case you were worried about that.

Wow! I have to say that is one of your best pieces to date, at least in my opinion.

Thanks! What can I say - weird sea life and spookiness must be my strengths.

He is the king of kings!

I love the details in this piece. I do have to agree that it is probably one of your best to date. I'm not just saying that because I like skulls and hermit crabs. Never did I think they could make such an awesome combo.

When will the life sized statues be made available? (^_^)

Life sized...statues? Oops. Well, I suppose you could try to catch one and make it stand still for you. Just don't forget to feed it.

Remember how you asked for suggestions on pieces to take with you?

Yeah. Take this one.

~P.
For some reason, I see this thing in the water off your Island.

[fenris-lorsrai.livejournal.com]

seconded! Take this one with you to GenCon.

Ah, you have no idea what a relief it is to see you say that. = ) I really wanted this to turn out good enough to take with me, and it's so hard to judge the relative quality of my own work.

Yeah, I should totally make a series of dreadful things that live near the island! And the Storm King Eels can live in the clouds above it! It's the most horribly dangerous place in the world!

I can't just go automatically putting all of my art in the same world, though, or it will just get eaten by the Effulgent Terraphage.

Whee! I'm glad it came out well, considering how much you were struggling with it. The eyestalks and the texturing on the claws are particularly nifty. And he's purple. :)

[hwango.livejournal.com]

Mmm, purple. = ) Originally I was going to go with the typical orange because I didn't know there were interesting real-world alternatives, but then when I was searching for reference pictures I found some awesome purple and yellow ones. Very glad I went with that color scheme.

(couldn't resist...)

A very color-wheel friendly combination - and so jaunty!
