Eh.... not one of my best. This came out way too green/yellow, actually the scan looks a bit better color and contrast-wise than the actual painting.
It's all right, though.
Anyway... this is a new creature I sketched a long time ago who has been waiting to be put into a painting. Since I'm not totally satisfied with this one I may in the future make another of him. I see him as fitting into the same world as the Owlcat, considering he seems to be surrounded by those curly trees.
He's a bit like a squirrel, in that he catches and eats stars, but he also buries them, and they grow... into those trees, which eventually release stars like a tree releases seeds or acorns. That's what I've decided, anyway. And perhaps the next painting of him will be of him burying a star.
I have to say I think this is one of my favorites of yours. I don't know what it looks like in person, but I think the green-yellow gives it a very fitting other-worldly sort of vibe. Also your little critter is stupid amounts of cute.
Thanks. I guess I'm just being quite harsh with myself or something *shrug*
In person the blue-green stuff is not quite as blue, it's a bit more greenish, but it doesn't look extremely different.
It's also one of those paintings that looks better shrunk down or from a bit further away, atleast that's what I've observed while painting it. The effect is easier to get when you step back.

I never thought about the curly trees until you mentioned them. I like them. Very Seuss-like.
Seuss-like, huh?
