This is the first of two tribute pieces that I have planned for Storm (left) and Shade (right), who are the two baby ratties that a friend of mine and I tried to hand raise. Despite our best efforts, they both died from respiratory infections that their weak immune systems couldn't fight.
I love you, boys, and I won't forget you.
This one is a gift for my friend. The rats were coloured with prismacolor pencils and then cut out and pasted onto fluffy scrapbooking paper. You can't tell from the scan, but the colour is slightly iridescent rather than plain white. The wings were draw with glitter paints.
Is it a little simplistic and cheesy? Sure, but I don't give a shit. Storm and Shade would be pleased, I think, to know that they touched me so much.
I will have another version up sometime with a coloured background, because I am making one for myself, too. My partner =EvilInstinct bought a beautiful picture frame for me, and I want to make something wonderful to put in it in their memory.
Comments disabled because... well, I think my emotional reserve is about tapped out for now.
No watermark on this one, but, please, for the love of the only things good and decent left in the world, do not use this image anywhere without permission.
Don't think this is just another news article with the usual love deviations that have already hundreds of favorites! All of these deviations don't have even 100 favorites & they're the best!
Please watch them closely and show your appreciation! @
In this article I will provide you some ideas how you can build your own homestudio for considerably cheaper price than it would cost to use "official" studio gear. I will also show you few examples where I have used the gear I describe during this article.
`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More
