Wow, the contemplative look of the creature is great... can definately agree on things work better when less overt.
Beutifully done.

thanks C: At first he was really scary lookin, but I decided it was better when he didn't look like hell turned over haha

I love the soft color palette you used. It brings a calm and yet eerie feel to it especially with the darker areas. Well done!

thank you! CX

looks like a rather caring and carressing beast. no matter how horrid he was supposed to look. Great subject and the background is murr!

yay XD That's what I was going for XD The only thing I wanted to have that indicated he might be up to no good was the fist he was making ~thanks!

It's creepy because it's a non-human being caressing a sleeping woman's hair, but the look on its face and the gentleness it exhibits makes it a very innocent sort of creepy, like this guy has no concept of what it's doing could be considered creepy. It's even a bit touching, actually. It may even be the woman's caregiver, guardian, or close friend.

But the left hand holding her hair in a fist, even a gentle one, well, that's borderline scary, like you don't know what it's really thinking or going to do.

I love its blue and red robe, though. It gives it that fairy tale look, as though this is a creature that lives amongst fabric and within linen closets.

Thanks C:> I actually have an old version of this where his robes are so long they trail back into the closet. But I scrapped it cause everytime I saw it I thought of Narnia lol It's nice when the things I plan for a picture actually turn out and people notice X3

I'd like to see that version if you still have it laying around somewhere, even if it is just in scraps. I'm a sucker for fairy tale stuff like that.

I really love this piece. I love all the colours XD They just look so... idk, warm, and can be somewhat creepy at the same time. The details are just awesome

It was new for me to try to use so many colors, I'm glad you like them CX Still cracks me up that I accidentally made it a rainbow buuuuut whatevs lol

I really adore this piece and the setting you placed all 3 characters in. Please keep up the amazing work!

Thank you! I'll try my best CX

Did you train in a monastery for 30 years in solitude to master this skill? So much detail. <3!!

If by monastery you mean my room and by 30 years you mean my life, then yes XD ~thank you!

Beautiful! Put more highlight on the bird and we'll notice him!

Thank you! I wasn't sure if noticing him would be distracting or not CX So I backed out and made him blend in. I'm such a scardey cat haha

your is osom!!! <3<3<3
I love colors and textures!
