You know you are pleased with your own artwork when you get a bubbly giggly smiley feeling when you look at it. I is happy.

She's done! Showed you folks the sketch and a WIP shot, now you get to see the final piece.
Turned out WAY BETTER than I thought it would. Considering I was in a crappy mood one night and decided that I needed to do some personal artwork, thought to myself, "hmm what are two things I like painting?" Answer was tigers and butterflies. Viola!

I've been craving India Ink for awhile, this totally gave me my fix. I sketched it on paper quickly, then tracing-paper-method'd it onto a nice piece of white bristol, then went to town. If you full view, you can see EVERY SINGLE BRUSH STROKE. D:

I really hope you guys enjoy this piece! Any feedback is super appreciated!

Daily Deviation

Given 2012-09-14

The suggester said: The intense whimsy combined with realism draws you in at once and holds you in the stare of those butterfly winged, orange eyes. The artist has at once taken the fierce power of this creature and breathed it to life without leaving out the soul fact that in the end, even fantasy cats like to lounge.

This is SO beautiful! The butterfly wings were also a nice touch. I love how you only coloured in the eyes which have been coloured PERFECTLY! Is this a painting? 'Cause if it is, I am ASTONISHED! I always struggle to control paintbrushes.
