Artist's Comments

The second version of "Bloodthirsty," this time with an underlying message. The predator characters are now upper-class folk in an upper-class club/bar setting, and looking quite a bit more aggressive, still drinking blood. The message is about how the upper-class preys on and takes advantage of the lowerclass (here represented by the prey species icons in the beer taps). I'm really quite happy with it.

This is a new technique for me--combination acrylic and oil paint, on board, 30" long.

Predatory Nature by ~Damalia Incredibly beautiful and interesting illustration! The lighting and design on the characters here are wonderfully done! (Suggested by =Avalik and Featured by ^Katmomma)

Very great pic.

I´m working with the same technique for the first time at the moment too.
Hope it´s going half as good as yours!

What did you do with acrylics and what did you do with oil?

People can play " Dress-up " with animals like a Standard Poodle and it just looks stupid :rofl:

but this is just pure CLASS :clap:

Mankind can cage a tiger and even display Wolves in a fancy Zoo !

but they will never Tame The predator within.

GREAT Artwork .... and the format is so perfect.

best wishes

Yeah, I like this one better too. I like the alteration of the scene, and the message is very clear without shouting "hey this is what the art means!" And the electric blue backdrop is very classy addition and shows off all the colorations very well.

Very interesting concept and awesome execution- I love the detail you've put into it, those beer taps are great! The increase in the intensity from Bloodlust 1 has won me over. Awesome work!

Amazing work! Very classy, and the dim blue-lighted background makes the red stand out even more :)

I have a feeling that if that lion was a people, he'd be Sean Bean.
