SciFi and Fantasy Art: Earth Guardian

This is a kirin. I wanted to convey the feeling of a territorial creature protecting it's catch. Did I succeed? It's done on a rather strange base called a scratchboard. It's strange because instead of putting your medium on to a blank sheet, you start with a full sheet and take off what doesn't look like your idea. It didn't scan well at all.

9 Feb 2004	Gwynneth 'Talynden' Reid	Loading... Love it!I hope you dont mind if i use it on my tour.
2 Apr 2004	Catseye, Reiki Master	Loading... The legends say that it's the best sort of good luck in the universe to see a kirin. I'm going to stare at her until it's time to go home. Thanx for the blessing!
7 Nov 2004	Lady Morrigan Moonwater	Loading... I love the superiorness of his attitude. I like the subtle way you show him watching over the Earth with his leg protectively over her. The technique is also grand, something I wish we saw more of.
29 Jan 2005	Jeena Michelle Pepersack	Loading... I love the fur! I know it's probably annoying, and can take for ever, but you should do some more of this!
16 Oct 2005	Melissa O´Dowd	Loading... Hey - Great job, scratch boards are hard to work with. I used it in High school, cept we made the boards ourselves, with oil pastels then covered in black acrylic (I think it was acrylic, it was years ago now) Great job again, wish we could see it in real life - the scanner really messed with it
19 Jan 2006	Danielle Scott	Loading... A very nice use of the scratchboard!
28 Jan 2006	Katerina A. Romanova	Loading... Wow! Yes, it does look very earthy. Perfect, I'd say!
27 Aug 2006	Alienjackel	Loading... I think did it pretty good. Sratchbroad is no easy thing to do because you can't erase. The horn looks a little too big for its head, but otherwise i think it is fine.
2 Nov 2007	Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel)	Loading... Beautiful! I like this style! Very intense.
