Beautiful artwork, as usual. =D

It's not often you see these kinds of animals in the spotlight of deviations. ^^;

Thank you! Yes, they deserve more attention IMO. They are like horses to paint, but more exotic and with much more variety
:iconinkshadow:
You're very much welcome! <3
Wolves, especially, seem to be hogging the attention to themselves. But saying that is making me a hypocrite, since I haven't quite mastered my equines and basically stick to canines. Looks like I have something to work on during my free time. x)

I agree, it's almost as though people have forgotten that other species of animals exist besides the generic dogs, cats, horses, etc.
Or at least, that's the way it seems to me. n_n;

Hmm.. possibly it's a result of the copycat syndrome? As in "my favourite artist paints x, so I want to paint x". Hey, I don't claim to be immune to it either :) But it is nice to branch out and do something a little different! Or even paint something that's so familiar as to be overlooked (such as the sparrow I painted and much enjoyed!).


But there's probably a reason they're so popular. I also love painting wolves, and cats for that matter:)
:iconinkshadow:
True, true. xD
I actually got into the habit of drawing mainly canines and felines since before I joined dA; somehow, it just ended up that way. ^^;
I've actually been thinking about going into drawing some realism and landscapes more often, just for practice. Also because landscapes are the one other thing that I really enjoy drawing. x)

Yes, probably. n_n
