Artist's Comments

Ahhh I'm proud of this....For a couple reasons. First, its traditional, which I am trying to broaden my horizons in. Second, it's mostly watercolor! and Third, it's of martens which I've been trying to draw for MONTHS...since...SEPTEMBER....and only just now have gotten even the tiniest grasp. ~raemanzu and I decided around that September that our characters Maze and Kai would be martens in our kids books (which may never be written). We were thinking of doing weasels but they're too little. Martens are better proportioned to cats and rabbits which are the main characters.

So here they are after all this time. Maze is the one on the bottom and Kai on the top.

This took me 6 hours or so...its a little smaller than half the size of a sheet of paper, including the white parts. First time with watercolors in quite some time. ...Really...prolly two years O.o sheesh. Besides that I also used prismacolors a little (the eyes), micron pens, and a white paint pen.

Please do not steal...please....please.......

I am very proud of this for you as well. :)

The colors are bold, without being overwhelming. The pose is unique. The details are thorough, but balanced throughout. And it's just plain adorable.

Love love love love.

Yeeek! This is amazing!

Plus, one thing that I see you are very good at is putting blues, greens and other colors in shadows. I dont know quite how to describe it. You put color in your shadows in a way that looks natural and beautiful. Its a weakness of mine, so seing it made me really impressed!

aww! *glumph the uber cuteness* Indeed, they are very well done (although for a photographer, we don't generally have the painter's eye....)

The Scarlet Ninja strikes.... a pose!

Thanks for your comment!
