Artist's Comments

I'm really not good with these sample images. They tend to sap my muse and I have to struggle to piece something together. This image was incredibly difficult for me to make and I'm still not entirely pleased with it. It will just have to do, I guess.

This is an application image for Illusive Studios. Here's the original assignment:

"Create a Mythical creature with at least 3 other animals, has wings and one of the four natural powers: earth, wind, water or fire. This should be clear in the picture, the background should match the power you choose for your creature."

My creature is an earth animal, made out of a horse, hawk, and some sort of elk. The part that I like best is the background, it took me ages to find a good stock image of a cave!

This picture is awesome!:D You've done a great job with the transition between wings and horse, and I love how the whole picture is in a brown tone. Well done!;)

Very nice! I love the horse's position and the background. Great Job! :D

People get scared of bats flying around in caves, think how they'd feel with that creature flying at them! Great work!
Thanks for using my stock! :-)

Thanks for using my stock.

If I had to make a critique, I would say this; if this were my project and I were putting the creature in a cave, i might have used animals commonly known for residing/spending time in them. Bats, insects, lizards, bears, rodents, that sort of thing. This creature looks like he belongs in a forest.

Looks good otherwise :thumbsup: :D

It would be pretty scary meeting this beast in a dark cave, I agree.
