Artist's Comments

This started out in a roundabout fashion--I wanted to do something in the Big Pants style that I enjoyed on the kirin, I wanted to paint an okapi, and I wanted a shrunken head. Halfway through, I realized that the joy of an okapi is in the leg markings, so I couldn't use the big pants, but I liked the composition as it was, so--I gave 'im Mondo Calves. The result has a definite Chris Goodwin flavor--equines with big legs, it's a natural--and I was pretty pleased with how it came out.

This is great! I love okapi's.. They're like the pandas of the equine world. O.o To me, anyway. The details are awesome and the compo is just.. Wow.

XD Stripes are always fun to work with. In fact, any kinds of markings are fun to work with (as long as you're not trying to attempt to recreate an insanely difficult marking set.. but I digress). I love the color pallete for this one. XD And I feel very sorry for the shrunken head. - But it certainly does add a lot to this picture. :D (Big Grin) Also, something smallish to comment on - I love how you did the creature's digits. I'm not sure I've seen that with an arthro cattle sort of beast... (then again, I don't LOOK for art of those animals either..) I usually see either human hands or hooves. o_O; Which begs the question...

Eheheh, the picture is awesome, but what really got me was the description: " wanted to do something in the Big Pants style that I enjoyed on the kirin, I wanted to paint an okapi, and I wanted a shrunken head." The Shrunken head just sorta threw me off, crazy. Very nice work
