I might make some modifications based on feedback. Otherwise, I'd really like to stick a fork in this thing and call it DONE.

This is what I call "Painting what's in your heart" because this is what's in my heart. Well, I guess it should technically be "painting what's being generated by the firing of neurons in your prefrontal cortex," but that's not quite as catchy.

Close ups will be coming soon.

A Message From The Front Lines by *Bobbie-the-Jean "is one of her best works yet! There are so many intricate details on the feathers and the fur, and the face is astounding. Not only is it amazing, but she has included video footage of her creating this work, which is very interesting to watch! More wonderful works await you in her gallery, so I advise you to check it out." (Suggested by =kiwi-seed and Featured by ^Katmomma)

That's really awesome, I mean, I'm not huge on the whole anthro-animals w/wings deal, but if it's done well(which it is), it's still awesome. Which means that's really awesome!


Also: "painting what's in your heart" is what just got a DD, a leg covered with blood. That's what's in your heart. Blood. :-p

This is amazing...I really enjoyed watching how you painted it. I never thought of creating my own custom brushes in Photoshop. But really...this is awesome. You did a great job. <3

You know I like it so I'll skip to the comments.
The title implies a war to me but I see no weapons on this guy. Nor do I see a message capsule on the birds leg.
While I like making up my own story for this picture, (a psy war with the birds as messengers when long distance prevents mind contact), I wonder do you have a story for it that you would tell us?
And would it help if I said Please?

That is so far out it breaks boundaries. Love the jackal/tiger concept (that's what I see anyway) and the wonderful colors/blending. Oh and the birds. Marvelous. This is the calibre of art I'd love to do.
(friendly envy) If only for my own enjoyment. :)
