Artist's Comments

Here we have a badger, North American style! I got to draw him in a cave, which allowed me to indulge in fantasies of spelunking prowess. It was a fun setting to work in, especially with the dim lighting generating a nice atmospheric effect. This is a good start, but I want to get better at illustrating cave settings. Real caverns are already furnished with luxurious formations, so using that as a springboard for fantasy illustrations should yield exceptionally fun results. The badger’s owner, Frycookie, can be found at: [link]

Daily Deviation

Given 2008-10-02

There are many things that make 'Subterranean Badger' by *Dreamkeepers DD worthy. These include, but are certainly not limited to, the attention to detail like the glittering, light reflecting rocks, the interesting use of light and shadows which creates fantastic colours and, of course, that incredible expression! The expression really shows the character that this guy has, I love it! (Suggested by =Neko-daewen and Featured by `skifi)

It's amazing. I love the shading that you do . . . but it kinda looks like you used the burn tool for this one?
I probably asked this question about a hunfred times already but I never get bored of hearing a good explanation. 8D

Holy badger O_o that's.. incredible... as usual ^^;
hehe I think I'm most surprised by the fact that the first thing you care to mention is that you need to get better at caves. In my head I'm going "but .... it's perfect..." so I can just imagine what kind of wonders you'll come up with, later in time :excited:

Oh and sorry I haven't replied to that email yet. I've been out of it for a while and college just started as well >< I'll get to it soon though.

Cor. Fun pose and expression there, and its a badger, so what's not to love? Everything comes together from those workboots to the miner cap. Just seems like something I'd like to hang in my room 'cause it makes me snicker inside.

A very well done piece. Interesting pose you chose there. Great work with the lighting and colours!

I hold my ground,
and don't make a sound.
I'm silence and stealth,
a wolf and proud.
I run with the wind,
and howl at the moon.
I sing with the stars,
a slow haunting tune.

They say the eyes of a wolf transfix you.

It's true.

Snazzy!

I stand watch for hope, and hope for it not to desert me.
