Artist's Comments

Another thanks to the DA community! And to everyone who takes time to comment on my work :) or even just looks at it XD This ones for eveyone! I really couldn't have improved the way I have wothout imput from you amazing people :)
2000 watchers- I still can hardly believe it! 2000 people want to know when I put art up, when I first joined I would never imagine it to be that many!


The lineart was done in Photoshop and the colouring in OpenCanvas, id say 40 hours were spent in total on her- a supprising ammount of that on the lineart, the colouring didnt seem to take to long in comparison... XD

I am pretty pleased with the resuts though :) I think the colours are nice, the thing which -really- bugs me is that when she is flipped she looks retarded. From the right way round I can see little wrong, but when I flip it she looks like she had a fight with that peacock... and lost. It depends on you perception.. but to some of you guys shes going to look really weird...

Pavo decorus- The title infact is the binomial name of this fictional breed of Peafowl. Most pecocks come under the genus Pavo. So does mine :P then its species is decorus which a latin translator told me was latin for beautiful. So its like 'beautiful peacock' :) I thought it sounded quite nice and couldnt think of another title for this picture :P
