Comment on Dapple and Stars by Natoli

I love the mood and colors in this - sepia is working so beautifully! :heart:

Lovely coloring on the horse: I haven't tried doing dapples in this big scale with watercolors but I can imagine it is a challenge. :D
You did it beautifully tho!
Mane and tail are my favorite part here; they're so soft and flowy looking.

Moon and sky are gorgeous and it is so nice how your watermark is blending there.
It is big and protects your work but it is not hiding the actual work - it actually looks here like a part of the work.

Yay! Glad you like it so much ^^

Mane and tail were pure pleasure, especially in the sketching and linearting stage, this is so ... hm.. unstressing :D

Watermark, yeah, people often complain about big watermarks, but I need to protect my work. Glad you like this way of watermarking :D

Of course, you did great job and I am sure the commissioner loves this. :dummy:

It is a shame that we even have to consider using watermarks (damn those art thieves!) but doing it with a style is something that most people unfortunately cannot do. I haven't been using watermark but I know I should; who knows if something is already stolen.

You know, we can't avoid stealing, but I want at last other people to see that the art isn't done by the person who claims it ;)
