Feature 199--phenomenom9

 

Flower Vase

Oh cool, this piece has some linework that was posted first in the gallery as "Flower Vase(bnw)". Really enjoyed getting to see that separately from the color version--and I love both of them. Back to this image though; I think that he balanced the yellows and pinks very well and the background does a lovely job letting the flowers be front and center. I wish I had a vase this big, myself.
Really had fun seeing this piece, great work! 

Leopard

This cat has been placed in front of the perfect sky color, I think! It not only helps set off the yellow of the leopard and its spots, but just look at how the leaves' colors help to bring the cat into a better viewpoint.
This is just curiosity on my end but I wonder if this work was done with mouse? There seems to be a bit more control than a mouse can give too, so maybe some well created brushes that were used with a tablet? Nosiness aside, all of his work has been so very fun to see!

Lioness

Lioness who has just come from the hunt, it looks like. And hasn't gotten to getting herself cleaned up yet while her stomach settles. Until the next time she has to stand up and help her sisters with things...
She seems to be lying on some taller stone, slightly off the ground to get away from some of the mess left behind after the hunt. And those trees behind her look perfect for the place she's living in.
Great work here!

I really did enjoy these pieces! Phenomenom9's gallery is right here, you need to check it out! He also gave me another link to his Instagram, which is here. It's fun to check both these galleries out!

Feature 104--Enlee-Jones

Bath Time 2

Enlee-Jones says that this only took her 7 hours. Only 7. On the art page, she says that she used Sharpie, Arteza brush pens, Arteza EverBlend pens, and white gel pen...I have to wonder how many pens she had to go through?
This leopard's eyes were painted beautifully and I love how natural all of those spots seem to be. But can we just take a look at how that tongue came out? The color is perfect against all that white and gray and I am very taken with how Enlee-Jones made the fur under that tongue look like it was caught up in a brush or comb. I love it!

Colorful Owl

I wish that she had said what she used on this illustration but...it's honestly no matter. Especially how well she handles her paints and the texture/patterns on the feathers! The eyes again came out totally gorgeous; it really looks like the owl she drew has intelligence behind them.
Speaking about her colors again, look at how she worked out the colors and black on the wing and back. Beautiful work and all of her time taken with this was so well spent!

Owl

For this image, Enlee-Jones says that it only needed 5 hours. And I'm still amazed by that with how natural she made everything appear. If I've not said it yet, she's definitely gifted with her chosen tools!
Loving how the chest feathers came out--doesn't it just look like a giant fluff is perched in front of us? I almost wish that I could reach out and touch it. (Provided the owl wouldn't mind!!)
And again, I'm drawn to those adorable eyes. Stars, she did a brilliant job with them on this picture!

Enlee-Jones shared some great work for this feature. If you think her attention to detail is super just with these three images, you've got to check out her whole gallery!
