I rather like what you did with the blending of the leaves into this piece, sir. The clear direction of the light from the sky, down through the trees, was also a very nice touch. Very well done overall, sir.

Thank you very much :) Glad you enjoy it!

You absolutely caught the occlusion through the leaves perfectly!

And I'll always love the brush choices you have for your artwork, they're so bold but compliment your style so well!

Hah thank you very much! Yeah sometimes they shine through more, other times a bit less obviously! :D

So beautiful *w*

Thanks!

Stunning. So beautiful

Thank you very much!

Absolutely gorgeous.

Thank you

Something is not right. The thumb nail is bright and colorful, but the full sized image is very dark. Is this a problem on my end or an FA problem that just now happened?

Hmmm, i'm not noticing a difference on my end.

Yes, it looks like its messed up on Fire Fox but not Chrome. Weird!

Wait... but i use firefox! So it can't even be a consistent problem there. At least that suggests it might just be a weird one-off then if it's just this painting and no other.

Unless it has something to do with monitor calibration. Does this image have an imbedded profile? I calibrate my monitor, but Firefox and Chrome handle it differently and independently, since Windows doesn't really obey calibration profiles.

Yeah that could be it

Great fang, you did capture the green light & the essence of the moment.
Thank you, Nomax.

Thank you very much too!

So natural and gorgeous.

Thanks!

Incredibly gorgeous

Thanks!

The colors in this look so natural. You always do an amazing job!!!

Thank you very much :) Yeah, been really trying to get better at that. It's hard but then again nothing is ever easy with art, so that checks out.

:D

The slight displacement of what's seen through the lens <3

AHHHHH IT'S BEEN WORTH IT. I was sure nobody would actually notice (especially given how small the picture has to be here on this site) but yet here we are! :D

Originally it actually was my plan to have the background be sharp in them due to where the focal plane sits, but that very much would have been too small with the angle of the glasses. But gosh yeah, glasses and all the weird little effects of them are so fun to play around.

Ooh so handsome

:D Thanks Ember

I enjoy how your characters are fully animal, yet also fully human.

Thank you very much. Yeah i think for furry artist it's a special challange to find that balance one wants out of their characters. More stylized? More realistic? More animalistic? More human? What sort of blend for it all? Hands? Paws? Perhaps hunched over?

i just, especially with Nomax, with characters of others i of course have to stay a bit more on their own vision, but with Nomax i really try to preserve the streamlined elegance ofthe animal counterpart. Sometimes with more, sometimes less success, but yeah that is the thinking behind it at least for may portrayal of characters!

beware of sneak attacks

Ah it'll be fine i'm sure

I love your art.

Aww thank you very very much! I'm honoured!

Glorious piece… Your way of creating so realistic textures in your paintings are just magnificently baffling. Thank you for sharing your art. 💜

Thank you very much :)

I think every new piece you release the better you get.

Ideally that's the goal! :D Of course doesn't always work out like that as there isn't really a clear path forward with art, and sometimes we wander along those that just take us around in a circle, but that's just how it goes sometimes.

Absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks a bunch!

I can imagine you do not even need a net to capture butterflies... they land on your fingers naturally... this is so very very good Nomax...

:D i'm not that quite that much of a disney princess.

Rofl…

I just love the colors here. Faved both here and on twitter

Hah thank you very much!

I feel like I'm seeing a picture! All the textures used make the piece so interesting.Gorgeous work, awesome mood.

Thank you very much!

Fanciest forest fellow :3

Very much so!

I love this. I struggle with shades of green so much. ;o;

Gorgeous !

Wow, for a moment I thought that was real, especially with the collar!

If you do not mind the curiosity, what kind of references do you use for foliage? Or is it all just improvised?

Just whichever ends up fitting with what i want to do at the time. Don't really have anything more specific in mind than some basics like is whether it's supposed to be more tropical leaves or less so etc.

Love his expression <3

Thanks :)
