Its a bogger in a crash helmet! lol love nautalis!

a very interesting combination.

you make the cutes squid... type... thingies EVUH!

This is the most awesome hybrid creature that I've seen in a long time! Sweeeeeet.

I really like the subtle reflections on the shell and the "beams" of like shinning down from the surface! }:=)

Thank you - those "beams" are actually a result of the thin paper I used! It buckles a little when wet paint is applied. Usually the buckles look bad but in this case, ENHANCE! ;)

Dispite the discription and submission info... it was only now when you said that, that it occured to me that was was not digital...OMG! }8=)

Heh! Almost all my arts are good ol' paper and paintbrush. ;)

...and that adds SO much to the artwork! }:=)

It does? How so? I have my opinions, but I am curious what others think of traditional vs digital... TELL ME I MUST STUDY

Meg,
Ok, since you asked... here goes. I am one that believes in the artist transfers some of their self, their energy into the work through the instraments that you use. You are in direct contact with the medium that you use and then you share that with the viewer. Where in digital art, there is just a something just a little less. The artist is a bit remove for the work that they create. Please do not get me wrong, there is digital artwork out that that is just jaw draopping fantastic and that I would be proud to have on my walls. Traditional artwork to me just seems "more real"... the artist themselves touch the paper with pen or brush. It is a tangeable thing. Does that help? }:=)

Yeah - thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! I admit I feel the same way when creating - digital work seems more removed from me. I can't touch it or bend over it or mix colors. So much more of an experience, for me, to use traditional media.

You are most welcome. I am glad you understand what I was trying to convey. }:=)

wow, I love the look of a nautilus in these colors o3o

brilliant colors

Awesome colors! xD I still say you should do one of them trying to be fursuiters, with cute little ears and maybe a tail or something! ;.; I think it would be uber cute!!!

I still think you are brilliantly right about that. It's on the list!

OMG, are you serious ;.; *blushes*

I love how angry he looks! I think the pattern is better than the last one.

Magnificent.

Ha ha ha, excellent, GREAT idea !!!!!!!!!

such a wicked concept... the colors work really well for this too

Yeah, they're stunning. It was difficult getting the blue and yellow to "blend" without making green, though. ;)

so cute! <:3c i have a soft spot for nautilus
