B is for . . .by `ursulav

Anthro / Digital Media / Painting & Airbrushing

Binturongs are Asiatic bearcats, a jungle-dwelling weaselly creature that resembles, more or less, an arboreal wolverine with a prehensile tail and whisker issues. Also, they smell like popcorn. No kidding. Rangy, gamy, somewhat musky popcorn, I'll grant you, popcorn that could use a little deodorant, really INTENSE popcorn that needs a shower something fierce--but popcorn. Go to the zoo and sniff the binturongs. It's popcorn. Nature is cool.

This was the hardest of the three. It's also arguably the simplest, but I kept doing and redoing the composition, and changing the text, and gnashing my teeth. Finally, I did this one, and got the binturong's expression right. And that was all I needed. Everything fell into place after that. If I redid it, I could do the composition any number of ways, I could do anything with the bunnies, but I'd want to keep the poor bewildered binturong's expression.

Anyway! We have prints! In fact, we have a whole print SET! For a mere $20 plus shipping, you can get A, B, and C all together ($10 savings off buying 'em seperately) in small, or for $50 and shipping, all three in jumbo. Great for kids! Great for people expecting kids! Great for libraries! Great for people with large vocabularies who like obscure animals, which I suspect forms a striking majority of my audience! Send a note! We will also have the sets at Anthrocon, so visit the dealer table (hell, visit anyway and say hi!)

I checked all of the 3 A B C pieces, and this one is my favourite, the expression of the binturong seducted me, I believe. I took a look at your gallery aswell and it is definitively great! Keep up the good work!

ROFL This drawing def. made my day. TY so very much for making my bleak existence worthwhile

~Madmystyk Sep 14, 2005

you realize, if this doesn't eventually mature into a fully grown book that i can use to twist and pull the minds of my offspring with, im gonna be real sad. i may have to direct my army of hummers (birds not vehicles,(although a couple of the ones i radiated have become rather large) like i could afford the gas for an army of any cars, let alone hummers) straightaway to buzz you mercilessly at every opportunity.....or at least when you're filling the feeders. this is NOT a threat, you know i adore you and would never threaten you. it is merely a warning from one female who is totally aware of how irrational she can be to another.
