First art of 2008! Four elemental animals done as sticker and magnet designs for Further Confusion 2008, which I will be at in the dealer's room. I wanted to have some fun cool looking stickers I could sell at my dealer's table, and at future cons as well. So I picked a theme that's fun and pretty popular, and everyone can relate to and appreciate. I would like to do more themed sticker sets like this in the future, but I don't have the time before FC.
The originals paintings and the sticker/magnets will all be at FC, so if you're going stop by my table! I've been working all winter break on these, so hopefully someone out there will want some stickers. ^^
Done with fluid acrylics (like watercolour) and coloured pencil on bristol

That's some nice coloring - at first I thought it was digital.
Wolf Nymph
Why thank you! Blurring the lines between digital and traditional probably means I did something right. XD (I hope)
Tod
I mean in terms of the cleanness/sharpness of the coloring, so - yes :D
UndyingSong
Absolutely, positively gorgeous! Oooh man, I want some fluid acrylics.. That's not the brand name, is it? XD
Wolf Nymph
Thank you so much! Actually, by fluid acrylics I meant that it's watered down normal acrylics. So it works like watercolour more than acrylic paint that's thicker. =3
UndyingSong
Oooh, haha *facepalms* I get it! Well, may I ask what brand of acrylics they are, in that case? XD
Wolf Nymph
hehe! ^^ I used liquitex tube acrylics for these *nod*

The fur om the fox is some of the best I've seen from you! These are all really lovely. I look forward to seeing them.
Wolf Nymph
Why thank you! ^^ That means a lot coming from someone I admire. <3
Lemonfruitpie
Oh, these are really lovely! I adore the circular designs :) Can't decide which one I like best though<3 That otter is way cute, and I like how you chose purple/the falcon for air. Will you perchance be selling the leftovers online, if you have any? :D
Wolf Nymph
Why thank you! Sorry for the late reply. Anyway, I will definitly be selling them online after the con. I'm actually taking preorders at a discount right now to help pay the way to FC too. =3
Lemonfruitpie
No problem! Hmm, as much as I love these, I think I'll wait til you open up for custom stickers :D Will be watching over at your lj til then.

That coloring's simply insane. Solid lines and general form, too. I like the circular... um, frame, of them all. Beautimous <3
Wolf Nymph
Thanks so much! Glad that the circular frame (that's a good word for that) worked out well. ^^
Ralli
Gosh, I can't pick out what to mention first, I love it all. The poses, the elements' frames, the anatomy, oh man the coloring and texturing...and I so envy those wings. They're so hard to do, and the wings here are just so awesome.
I suck at reviewing. XD
Gatcat
Gorgeous! Have you thought of making buttons?
Wolf Nymph
Thanks! I have actually, which is one of the reason's they are kind of a round composition. I need to get a button maker or order them from somewhere first, and I haven't really had the time lately... Someday though!

So many comment, I hardly know what to add? I think what popped to mind first was that "I'd be kinda angry too if /my/ tail were on fire!" :) hehe. Love the fox. Fire fox. *dies laughing*
Bug
I like the fox, like every one else, but I have to tell you. The otter is really cool. I like that pose. Otters are some of my favorite animals...I just wish I could draw them like you do! :/
Scotland Sky
I love all of them! I really like the deer, I it's my fave. I think... AUUGH!!! IT'S SOOOO HARD TO DECIDE!!! XD
Cyclone
