Oh, and thank you for your kind words! I am still learning, but I'm glad you enjoy what I've done so far. :)

Thank you! I really enjoy working on those dog portraits, but I still love to go back to dragons once in a while. :D

And your work is beautiful! I am really impressed by the jaguar painting in particular and how crisp and graphic the panels of color are in relation to one another. You have an amazingly steady hand. XD :D Keep up the great work! ^_^

Yeah most furrys don't have any weird fetish things going on- that stuff isn't even allowed on most of the websites and stuff. A lot of it is people who grew up watching Disney movies like The Rescuers or Robin Hood and now that they're grown ups they still like that stuff. And they like to make their own stories and such like that- and some are really quite good. That's about 95% of the stuff you find. And most can't afford to buy a fursuit- they can cost thousands of dollars if they're custom made.

and just cuz it's awesome- here is my favorite betta related painting done by someone else on that art site. in case you don't know the reference this is based on a video game from a couple years ago- the wolf is a spiritual figure from feudal japan.

Coincidentally, Robin Hood was my favourite movie as a kid and Okami is one of my favourite video games! xD

How awesome!! I know that artist too - she is AMAZING with fur textures and stuff.

She's been posting a lot of things on DeviantART the past day or so - she really has great talent!

I've been doing sketches of bettas myself, and plan on doing a digital painting of one if I ever get the chance. :D I love their faces!

Your artwork is amazing! I love the color and the detail.
