Kiss me my monster,
remember my name!

The trees will forever,
be telling our tale!

How would they forget it?
How would they not know?

They must have been listening
to my crying and woe...

Long time no see, friends! :cuddle:

I've got myself a brand new job that has kept me away from art and... well just about everything actually. ^^

But I'm getting better and better at managing my time now. :) So more art to come! Weeh! :w00t:

He has some anatomy problems with his arm... But I just can't seem to fix it. :( So, I'll leave it for now, and if I become a better painter, I might go back to correct it. (And those of you who have stayed around for a while know that is about as likely as mosquitoes inventing cold fusion...)

Original idea for this is a sexed up celtic inspired Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, actually. ^^ Hence the red lips and animal-like facial features.

Oh! And have I mentioned I like hipbones?? :blushes:

Missed being around, and I hope you are all doing well! :heart:

Edit: Oh! And a heartfelt "thank you" to my friend ~Tobbo who dared take off his shirt to supply me with refs for the arm! :D

I love it! It's so epic! The antlers are a nice touch. They don't look like they'd stay on, but WOWSA! Those candles sure add the perfect "flare" to the picture! As always, a lovely muted background, and beautiful attention to detail. Lovely work yet again! :D :clap:

It doesn't matter to me that the arm is a bit off, I still like the picture. The antlers look magnificent, and with the candles on then it's just wow! The dancing figures in the background gives the picture a mystical feeling, and the babyfaces on the trees are just... creepy. Talk about the forrest beeing alive!
Theres something about his face that I can't get off my mind. He looks so stern and almost angry, so the outreached hand becomes more demanding than inviting. I'm just reacting to this, because reindeers tend to look very mild. But hey, Rudolph has never looked better, IMO!

Such amazing worsd! :wow: Thank you dear!! :heart:

Yes, hit face is intentionally painted with an aggressive expression. :) It's to show the complexity of a wild beast: beautiful, strong, raw and mystical.
Plus, I simply love to add a twist of the dark side in my paintings. :giggle: To turn the bad and twisted into something pretty is sometimes harder than it looks. ;)

Again, thank you! :hug:

Aww! You're so sweet! I'm happy it deserved a "WOWSA" from you! :giggle:

And If you don't mind, could you tell me why the antlers don't look like they'd stay on? :) Useful critique is always appreciated! :D

And thanks for sticking around! ^^ :hug:

For the antlers, something about the base that connects them to the head doesn't look quite right. In makes them look a little flat and frail.

However, the more I look at it, the more I'm starting to like it... I wouldn't touch it. :o This really is a gorgeous piece.
