For my friend. :)

FuzzySquirrelgrl @ 2009-11-17 00:56:34

The warm hues are very pretty. I love how you used the watercolor2 tool to give it that wispy look. Great job! :D

... despite the ravages of the world around yourself.

bohemian dreams @ 2009-07-14 14:22:59

Oh wow.
It took me awhile to realize what was going in the foreground because the sky & ocean is so gorgeous. Beautiful job.

turtlequeen @ 2009-07-15 01:23:07

wow, this is really beautiful! the visual impact is like, bam! the contrast in the sky just really hits the eye. I love what's going on in the foreground as well...such a neat idea. beautiful work~

Alulae @ 2009-07-18 01:10:51

Massive amounts of love for the foreground - the perspective and details and everything - and the colours are amazing! Just wish the foreground were a bit smoother, though.

Aykera @ 2009-08-01 17:36:11

stunning work!

wolverine @ 2009-10-13 06:14:38

Wow, that's beautifu! I love the combination of soft and hard/bright.

Mari @ 2009-10-26 00:40:21

this sky is gorgeous; the clouds are so mesmerizing and realistic. they're so beautiful and well-rendered.

FuzzySquirrelgrl @ 2009-11-17 00:57:17

Amazing! Beautiful detail in the clouds and water!

Anne2009 @ 2009-06-12 01:43:39

The mountains are wonderfully colored! The water looks so real!

tiamat4eva @ 2009-06-13 15:44:50

It has been a while!!!!
this place looks really fun, and i like how you contrast the dark "unknown and possibly evil" foreground with the light "innocent" mountains and sky!~

zombieface66 @ 2009-06-17 20:48:00

Wow, i love the reflection of the mountain in the water! this pic is so calming! well done!

Aykera @ 2009-06-26 19:05:11

very well composed! I like the use of colors

TorterraOfDeath @ 2009-07-03 13:02:42

wow! great picture! i really like the orb and the reflection on the water!

Anne2009 @ 2009-06-11 08:10:35

Something went wrong, a layer suddenly disappeared. I will go on later.

Anne2009 @ 2009-06-11 08:17:19

Very strange, in the animation the layer is still there?? If there's anyone who can explain, I would be very happy to know what happened.

Anne2009 @ 2009-06-11 15:05:27

I'm sorry, it's not possible to retouch the image. I would love to have finished it.

Anne2009 @ 2009-06-15 09:18:39

PEW...Finally finished!! :DDDD

Aykera @ 2009-06-26 19:05:36

kungfu05 @ 2009-03-26 12:02:45

Such lovely colors and great reflection on the water!

Airirea @ 2009-03-27 10:15:19

Wow wow... nice mix of colours. Lovely water and lovely sky and lovely brush strokes.

Loves it :)

TurtleQueen @ 2009-03-27 20:34:28

what an interesting piece! the colors really add a sense of surreality to it, especially that green. and the roughness of the strokes gives the whole piece a lot character. it's almost like an eerie fairytale town.

Tobi @ 2009-03-29 04:43:20

Beautiful sky!

violet @ 2009-05-01 21:04:11

Ooh, I love the colors in this. What a lovely scene.

Anne2009 @ 2009-06-10 18:00:02

What an awesome technique you've got! Looks almost like you mould the picture on the board. It's beautiful! I've learned a lot, thank you for sharing!

SpunkyTea @ 2009-11-05 12:08:30

Wow, I love the overall feeling of this. The colors are so pretty. And your brush strokes are very confident. Nice work!

Sun bear. :)

GeminiRyoko @ 2009-03-19 09:56:20

I knew it was yours from the front page. The colors are beautiful, and I love the brush strokes.

kungfu05 @ 2009-03-19 16:08:19

What nice colors and wonderful brush strokes. Gives the illusion of an actual painting. Very pleasant to the yes :).

Tobi @ 2009-03-21 22:08:01

Nice expression.
And the blue lighting is beautiful.

TurtleQueen @ 2009-03-27 20:36:51

I'm really intrigued by your use of blue on the fur, it really makes the bear pop out. he looks like such an inquiring bear too :) hehe. neat job.

violet @ 2009-05-01 19:47:30

The use of color is lovely, and I really like the pose.

tiamat4eva @ 2009-06-13 15:46:10

i love in the incorporation of blues into the the different textures. the colors are really exciting!

Mari @ 2009-10-26 00:40:58

your lineart style is really interesting and i'm really intrigued by your use of blue--awesome piece!

SpunkyTea @ 2009-11-05 12:09:08

Oh my god! Sun bears are so cute! And these colors are so fantastic

Emilee @ 2009-12-15 22:23:49

Oh wow, the way you used the purples and blues to shade really turned out nicely!

Airirea @ 2009-03-15 09:20:46

Woow~~ when I first look at the thumbnail I thought that it was a photograph. Nice choice of colours :) Beautiful

kungfu05 @ 2009-03-15 13:25:00

Wow this is captivating. The reflection from the water is just so well done.

weisen1 @ 2009-03-15 13:47:17

Gotta agree that the water is pretty gorgeous @__@

teramiku @ 2009-03-15 19:03:35

Wow! It's almost like a traditionally painted picture! I really like! Good job on the water, and I think that the red bridge really brings out the picture. :)

Erthe @ 2009-03-15 21:24:09

Excellent!

TurtleQueen @ 2009-03-16 00:05:00

ahhhhh!! wow, this is so gorgeous...it really feels like a monet piece with the impressionist strokes. I am in love with the water. the strokes are just soo beautiful and amazing. I can't believe you achieved this on oekaki!!

tiamat4eva @ 2009-06-13 15:46:54

wow the feeling is so painterly, i really feel refreshed looking at this. Everything seems cool and gentle

cattomao @ 2009-06-23 18:48:13

oh wow.. that looks so real! especially when it's smaller. beautiful! :)

FuzzySquirrelgrl @ 2009-11-17 01:00:26

Ooh. It reminds me so much of impressionist oil works. Beautiful water detail! Such a subtle but pretty piece.

Emilee @ 2009-12-15 22:24:42

This is really pretty- almost like Monet drew it himself! ;D

For the most part I think I'm done.... I'll have to finish up the hands. I played around with different bg and they just all looked wrong - but if I need a more complex one please tell me.

yo! I long for summer already... :(

Mana @ 2009-02-14 00:13:03

you and me both, dude.

lovely piece. The colors in that sky are gorgeous--and I love the soft rendering through out <3

santi-emeto @ 2009-02-19 10:28:08

Thanks so much, Mana!

Tobi @ 2009-03-14 06:50:13

I love summer, too.
But not much humidity.

santi-emeto @ 2009-01-29 14:34:30

you wanted something, chico?

Tobi @ 2009-01-30 20:55:29

You have unique style...
Nice characters.

InfinityOnTheRun @ 2009-02-01 16:42:57

Unique style! I like the dirty-feel to it xD
And the background is nice too. A lot of detail.

taylorjessica @ 2009-02-03 17:20:10

i love this! it reminds me of some of the people i grew up around in my neighborhood. :] i love the guy in orange.

santi-emeto @ 2009-02-05 15:35:17

Thanks everyone! Glad you like this!

NekoBrimm @ 2009-02-06 14:46:04

Such a fun picture and lovely smooth artwork. <3 I'm especially impressed with all the detail you put into the building/stone masonry in the background. X3

I recognized your art from the main page, glad to see it back here.
I love those clouds along with the overall colors.

It's so simple, but I love it because of that!

A boy and a she-bear.
Not finished. I've left this open for hours today and won't the same while I sleep...

Libellule @ 2008-12-21 12:03:57

Now it's finished! Unless anyone has any critique. Either way I am happy with it. This is for my little brother's birthday.

GeminiRyoko @ 2008-12-21 21:01:12

This is beautiful, your use of solids is... wow... I've lost articulation. I love the texture on the bear. Beautiful

TurtleQueen @ 2008-12-22 14:59:40

wow, this is so neat!! the fur on the polar bear looks absolutely incredible *A*;; seriously! such wonderful hues and you captured the shaggy texture beautifully. this is such a lovely piece, your style is gorgeous! I love it!

weisen1 @ 2008-12-24 02:22:45

I've never seen anything so simple yet so detailed @__@
The fur is truly amazing, and the snow is so understated it's awing.

ShiningGolden @ 2009-01-11 23:32:33

Fabulous! The solid shading is great, the bear's fur and the mountain in the bg really jump out to me. Are they calling out to someone?

DinchtGirlie @ 2009-01-13 12:32:24

That. is. win. D:

Your detail is awesome, and I love all the colors and hard pixels. Amazing. :'D

Libellule @ 2009-01-13 22:44:36

Nah, they're just making noise for the sake of it. :3

mickey @ 2009-01-31 22:56:36

SparklyMuffin @ 2009-03-15 10:40:05

It;s so beautiful. I really love the shadowing and all the details.

silently @ 2009-03-18 23:38:18

This lovely, fluffy bear inspired me to draw my own. :)

Aimee-Oz @ 2009-06-13 04:22:55

This is sooo amazing. I love the colors, the subtle shading... your solids are so precise! I also like how you combined them with the painting effects of the sky. The bear's magnificent.

Scariest basket ever.

LaurieSuncat @ 2008-11-06 18:52:19

He's clearly upset about something--he's starting to come unwoven.

Where did you ever find this concept?

Cindy Brock @ 2008-11-06 19:34:14

I am both pleased and disappointed to say that the Wicker Beast is no concoction of my fevered brain. A friend of mine who is a writer brought him to life. Lord knows why.

Libellule @ 2008-11-09 11:05:15

Well the scary effect works. Poor basket-head. He needs a friend. :3

Iivis @ 2008-12-18 05:28:20

Eeep, he's scaring me!

I just wonder what's happened to make him so angry...?

ShiningGolden @ 2009-01-11 23:33:23

He he... creepy basket head.

Padme-San @ 2009-07-07 05:22:28

Reminds me of the Wicker Man. o.o That was a strange movie.

Roytje @ 2008-10-27 12:23:27

What did happen to my favorite OC-room??

NekoBrimm @ 2008-10-27 13:05:39

I think when the site went down it took a bunch of the pics people submitted to a few of the rooms with it. The Barnyard, Atrium, and Bedroom got wiped clean. It's unfortunate really.

The image above is very lovely. The centerpiece that stands out against the rest of the dark background has this fireyaspect to it. It just draws your attention. I'm really unsure how to describe it but I do hope to see more works from you in the future. <3

Cloudy Crystals @ 2008-10-28 01:28:02

I love this as well. Reminds me of a bundle of veins and nerves - quite moving in a strange way. "Nestled and alive" would be what comes to might.

Er, on a less pretentious note, I love the shiny colours in the centre. *0*

demonred21 @ 2008-10-28 18:55:43

amazing colors as always~

weisen1 @ 2008-10-31 10:19:35

Electric work.
Mechanical and organic all at once.

tiamat4eva @ 2008-11-01 19:07:41

oh this is so srsly nice like a dragon, or ripping through space or lava, so many things, so much fun

Saeria @ 2008-11-03 20:16:25

Beautiful, of course, i have missed seeing your work. It's quite unfortunate what happened to the atrium as it is my favorite board too.

Sinandez @ 2008-11-27 09:26:13

I think the "thing" in the middle looks like a firedemon, thats trying to escape the wires and tubes.
But It could also be a high canyon, where at the bottom a stream of fire flows through... I like how complex this picture is, despite its simple look!!

InfinityOnTheRun @ 2009-02-01 16:44:18

I don't know what to make of this but it is indeed amazing. :)
The colors look great against each other.

passive @ 2009-09-02 13:45:56

oh wowww, i really love this. especially the colors. it reminds me a lot of trees, and i adore trees. :) i think the colors work really well! nice composition too!

Reyka @ 2009-09-30 03:44:26

i know its an older work but i really need to say something... i love it! normally i dont like such pictures but this one is cool. the colors look good together cant stop looking at it. but i cant say why i love it its just amazing

I thought the atrium should have something in it.... so yea. I hope you enjoy it.

Firewarrior @ 2008-10-09 08:44:44

interesting one... looks like a strange dream :)

Iivis @ 2008-12-18 05:33:37

When I saw the thumbnail I first thought the metal bar was coming out of the orange guy's nose. :'''D *cough*
But to the picture... I like the surreal atmosphere here, the colors work well. (Are they by chance squeezed against a glass door?)
