Life feeds on life, it's the eternal Ying and Yang, balance at it's finest.

Fantastic picture by the way, I'd have been more curious to see what it evoked within myself having not read your description. I'll have to look again later and see. ;)

Forever grateful, I am :) We owe everything we have to someone/thing or another, and its a delicate balance, but we all manage it eventually!

Wonderful image, great work oce. Your art's awesome :) In this case, simple yet perfect. Nothing more needed!

^_____^ I really like this. It makes my wittol Pagan heart feel fuzzy. +Fav

Mmm.. Hang on your wall worthy.. I wish I was going; I'd scoop this up. :3

How creepy is that...a friend and I were just talking about what the world would be like if anthros truly existed. Would they feed on one another or would they feed on animals as humans do?

Either way, anthro or human, it's true that we need to be thankful for those that give up their lives that other's may continue. Beautiful piece.

Very true. Very great art. It makes you think thats for sure.

I can't begin to describe how closely this peice touches me....

Thank you for that

And I mean that from the bottom of my heart...

Very beautiful piece, and a very fine sentiment.

Wow very deep, it's nice to see intelligent furry art now and then ;)

Yes, very nice. It's also salutary to kill your supper once in a while.

I wonder what you see when you see smoke. The way you portray it, through your eyes it must be an altogether deeper and richer thing than through mine. I wonder if you live in a prettier world than I do.

Wish I could go to FC so I could have a new wall-hanging. This kicks total ass :3

nicely put, nicely drawn. Makes me wanna think of everything I've got! Great work

Me likey!

A lovely and evocative work. Thank you for sharing it.

Beautiful

That's absolutely amazing work. :X)

Wonderful work, I like the mood of the picture and the animal spirits in the smoke. Very nice.

Such a wonderful piece and interesting words. I'm sure it will find a nice home at the artshow :D

Reminds me of a quote:

Man lives by what we slay.

Faved mostly for the theme. <3

Without gratitude we are unworthy of what we take and receive.
Beautiful work, very touching.

Beautiful.

After seeing someone responde "Life Feeds on Life" I immediately thought of a counterpoint to this picture, of a rabbit sitting before a fire with carrot spirits. XD

This piece is just really fantastic. I really enjoy the pallet you've chosen to work with here, the earthy blues and oranges really give it that sense of serenity :)

Didn't this get a daily deviation on deviantArt?

:P Cant believe I managed to run into you again. Saw this picture once on DA and loved it, though lost my account and could never find the pic again. It’s a very true thing, that few actually think about. Just to think over how many things die in a day to let us live as we wish; every time you eat a piece of meat, a bug hits your windshield, use something leather, and so on something had to die to allow it to be so. Probably nearly a million lives will be indirectly snuffed out by a single person in their life, in a way its part of life but you can still show some gratitude for it instead of being completely oblivious to it. Anyways really enjoyed this image.

From an artistic perspective it is also executed with great talent. The anatomy of the character and his expression/body language are very well done. The effects you managed to put into the smoke are also rather amazing. Truly beautiful.

:P Look forward to taking a look around your gallery after work.
