Artist's Comments

This is a giftart for a friend of mine, her name is Schwarzfell. She's fond of rats, like I am. *smiles* So I decided to give her a tribute, because she does so wonderful art! And she's a good friend, of course.

This picture is the first one since two years that I colored with PS. :)
thanks to spirapride [link] for his wonderful tutorials! They helped me a lot to get into this once more. I hope my skills in coloring will increase with some more practice.

EDIT: I drew this picture back in 2005 and it is NOT inspired by this [link] picture. It was the other way round more or less - the commissioner saw my art here and then a few months later considered to commission WildSpiritWolf to design her tattoo.

I love the idea behind the painting.
Watching the coloring is like discovering
a new branch of your creative tree.
- Being curious what will be the next victim
of your new old skill.

I hate rats. As far as I'm concerned, they're g'damn snake food.

That being out the way, this has got to be the neatest twist on the yin-yang I've seen yet. Positively darling. Especially the colours, the muzzles on these critters are quite believable -- I love it.

Creativity is the best God.
It is niether biased, nor limited in its divinity. It is also accessible to everyone, should they wish to worship it, and demanding enough to give a person purpose.

Geile Idee.. obwohl ich ratten nicht so mag.. uhu.. die langen schwänze sind nix für mich :D

Hast das Tut echt gut umgesetzt!!!

Die beiden sind total putzig! Richtig tolle dicke Ratten eben mit schönem Fell.
Und die Harmonie hast du im Bild wirklich toll umgesetzt!

well if you want to use this as a tattoo, feel free to do so. :)
If you want the outlines, I can give them to you, too.
Just say something about it in your journal and refer to me, and I would like to see a foto, of course. XD
I could also alter the whole thing a bit to your whim, if you want to have something changed before you tattoo it.

Your interest in my art is very apreciated!

greetings
