Hmm. What can I say ?! For example something... or whatever, but possibly anything.... What come to my mind??! Well, i feel that's would be pretty much... not because of my mind/brain, but because of the thoughts...

The thoughts are flying around in my mind.... Some ones fat/podgy, quite extensive, some ones thinner, pale as like a quiet sigh... It's hard to choose, from so many topics, but i grab one or two. Let's see what's going to happen.


The first concept, which came to my mind, it was "the Life". The never-ending cycle of death and life. (I can not quite decide surely, that's the dragon is still alive or not. Is She/he maybe just sleep deeply and waiting for some ancient power?! [The magic is able to do so much things. But first, i was thinking, she/he was deceased.])

The passing/fate which creates a new life. All deaths carry the birth of life, into itself. "It's grows, above of you, and the tree-branch blooming from you... n' the thousands of flowers of your soul, creates some petal."

Where death exists, there must exist the life too. Opposites/Contradictions, or rather extremes... often walk hand in hand.. Together. The tears of happiness, and the painful smile. :) They don't behaving as contrary, like the enemies.... there is no fight between them... complement each other.

I see a numerous of opposition in the picture...

Life-Death: The wolf family, flowers and colors are makes it more contrasting. The bustling/teeming life, the butterflies and the birds... but meanwhile, the death and the passing are there. This enhances the contrast between death and life.

Old-Young: The adult wolves, and the cub... Additionally... The dragon looks like a something ancient creature, but the family is young.

Small-Big: Dragon, butterfly, wolf-kid, birds....

Blurred-Clean/Sharp : The background has lost the focus, a little bit, but the foreground is "formidable" detailed.

Barren-Blooming: New and old... used and unused..

Soft-Hard: Fur and rock... Water and rock... although feel this in the colors too.. :)

Fantasy-Reality: The pictures itself... the imagination... This is obvious.

Dry-Wet: There is a stream or a spring there... but the soil is dry and hard.

Sharp-Round: Between the patterns and lines are visible both of it... sharp/shrill and roundish.

Light-Shadow: This is a basic one. There is no shadow, without light.... and Where is the shadow, there must be to the light too.

Live-Lifeless: The dragon became to the part of earth. Seems lifeless... yet there is the life on it. (LOL - Literally.. If we look at the wolf. Giggle )

We often look at the earth or a piece of stone as if it were not life in it. Although the earth and the particles are so old...they are so ancient ones what maybe we will never understand. Maybe they carry in itself the birth of the universe ...

Memories. Powers, energies...

And if we look the symbols ... then... that's the dragon is not just a simple bridge... the dragon is a bridge ... between life and death?! I really like this.... Simply mind-boggling/mind-blowing. :D

I don't know how conscious these are all.... The people sometimes unconsciously hide these. I don't know, how much you observed to this... on others or on yourself.


Countless times, we passes the things. We didn't realize/perceive what's going on around us. We didn't feel the life weight.... the pleasure of the small/tiny things.

Hm... I first i thinking that, they are the base family members... mommy, daddy... and little kid.. :) But I'm not sure...one hundred percent... Why would not it be: Three sisters/brothers... One mom and two kid... or friends? But i'm listening to the first intuition.. and i hold this concept. :D Interesting names. Falf sounds male name.. Haroo .. hmm.. maybe male... and Araff, i can imagine this name as female name. To be honest, these are very unisex names for me. :D How were these names born?

Okay... alright..

Falf watching to the horizon, Araff looking at to Falf... (Hmm... This is not certain... possibly... they can watch each other too.)

(If they one pair... The wolves live monogamous life. One life, one love. [If it doesn't happend accident or fight ... for example, for the alpha title.] It's funny fact... i'm sure that you know this.... )

Therefore i feel that... and... It's seems, they are important to each other. They can send signal to each other, or they are talking in a nonverbal way.... But in any case, feel like that, they understand each other..

Haroo to examine/analyze the dragon, as if 'he' would know that, it was not just a piece of trunk. Curious and vivid/lively. You're very nicely caught the childish appearance.. I mean, the behave/attitude and manner/emission/character. Very clean to feel, that there is a wolf kid.

Harooo observe... The childish attribute/feature, the pure curiosity (without interests/selfish) and the the pleasure of the observation (care)... These things make the world a wonder. The Children are able to looking at the world as a huge miracle. :) The "adults" just do it, what they doing (sometimes they don't know what and why)... without observation or admiration.. They're go ahead.. They live their gray everydays, days after day. Empty... lifeless like the robots. Although it's not quite accurate ... because robots have some goal. ;D

There are plenty of things around us that we only see when we are open to the life. If we can to cast aside the ego and the logic ... the illusion that we are superior/eminence and that our knowledge is very great.

We very ofen forgot, that the earth not ours... We are only live on it.... We can not to hold possession of it. :) This is just an illusion... the illusion of possession. We have lots of plenty of similar illusions.... for example the control. We think that, we control the things.

I wander from the point, a little bit.... Sorry...

So yeah. These little things what there are around us, seems invisible... Like when someone is struggling with great problems. :) From her/his perspective, she/he doesn't see where the exit from the box...She/He only sees the walls of a box... That's why, others can to help... because they aren't just looking out of the box but they see the box as well... :) They see where the solution or the what possibilities/options to choose from.

If people were to change their point of view.. If people were to change their point of view.. they would see the mundane/everyday miracles. (As mentioned above.. The children know this.)

The picture reflects this nicly...

The wolf family is pay attention/care each other... pay attention the environment... pay attention the world.


This place, like a "Holy" and "Acient" place... which is rich in life force and energy... where it can almost feel the planet's soul. A kind of place of pilgrimage... whither the living entities go to study and meditate. To brood/think or just simply to refill the energy of their life.


Hmm.. Yeah, yeah... i know...

There is no exist always, a purpose of all. (Or the purpose itself the reason.)

The 16th-century poets... They would laugh good at us. Because not existed the sudoku, and the crossword... and just they sat down on the toilet and spent the time with some verse writing.

Now we see something that is not there. Deep feelings and World-changing theories.. Reality or We just imagine, into it...? Pff... Who knows?! :8Bshrug: 


But... I feel something... I guess... O_o Hunger? Hmm... Not quite... :D

The image contains strong feelings. I'm not sure this is a reflection ... and that these are my own feelings. (Probably it's in it too... partly) In the artworks there is the artist. Her/His one of piece of soul. Or energy... Her/His thoughts... heart... no matter what we call it. :)

It's not often i meet with this feeling. This is what to feel... in your work. Maybe my sensor is bad... That's it. =P (Nobody knows... nobody cares.) :D


Hm. Peaceful fantasy picture. It would be good... to be there... to feel the smells, to listening the voices, see the landscape and creatures.

I really love the fantasy, and scifi worlds. Creating your own is a wonderful thing. The ability, that if you can write and/or drawn a piece from your own fantasy world... indescribable. ^.^ Is not it? ;D


Unfortunately i can't say criticism of artistic. I never learned art history... i didn't went to art education / training either. So, unfortunately the professional words of art... the material and technical approach is not my strength.

All i can say is that:

The colors are beautiful and pleasant for the eyes. What i'm focused and saw for the first time, that was the wolf cub (and dragon-head), so we can say that she/he is in the center. :) The another emphatic point and highlight is the flowers on the left side... :) They are very nice.

The details are wonderful, very lifelike, photorealistic.

Anatomy...?! Pff.. This is photorealistic... XD What for the question?!


Mistake? Hm... You certainly, you found in it... =P Who created the artwork, she/he always sees what she/he did wrong... :D So I don't have to look for mistakes.. and i don't want to.... =P


I love to help and inspire... I love to thinking... to feel... to sense/perceive... observe/discover, analyze. It may doesn't look so... =P But Yeah...

In the future, I would like create something, that inspires others, and thought-provoking... You're doing well. ;)


Thank you for the 60 hours of your life and that you shared it. :) Nod 

(Sorry for mistakes (syntax) and the  bad english (semantics), it's not my native language. [I think it's noticeable/apparent.]) Sweating a little... 


P.S.: They say... i'm thinking too much about nonsense things. ... Maybe true... 

P.S-2.: I didn't mean to disturb/bother you... such with bulls#@!?ty-turbid-meaningless-stupidities. If yes.. just say it... and... Maybe next time i just write that: Awesome, Superb, Wow, Cool!... =P [Pff... definitely not] XD

P.S-3.: Maybe i did not say, but i hate the irony... And... There are too much postscripts here. Hmmm, how ironic! O_o ... -.-
