Fantastic colors. The soft lines add extra cuteness, too.

Wow this is really great work. I love all of the different colors you used to create the highlights and shadows, and just different tones in the skin. Very nice job!

Thank you I'm glad to hear you like the tones in the skin, they gave me no end of trouble. At one point the whole pig was violet!

Thank you! It looked even cuter in the ref. photo, kinda looked like it could flap it's ears and fly away

I worked at a hog farm over the summer and got to learn the joys of raising piglets (and of being run over by older hogs) I love all the different colors in this piece creating a harmony. What type of medium did you use? Kind of looks like watercolor. This is the one I enjoyed the most out of your forum post (don't be afraid to use thumbnails next time and show off your art!) though the the yellow-tophat chick was a close second. Thank you for posting.

I used acrylic, actualy. I applied it in glazes, which might be why it looks like watercolor. Sorry for not using thumbnails, for some reason when I went to grab the code for the thumbnails the page would only load halfway, so I used the URLs instead. Thank you for your wonderful comment and for checking out my work

Thank you! I've always had trouble with consistent lighting, and was worried that it would terrible. I'm glad you like it, though!

Also, thank you for faving it

Excellent. I love the contrasts, and the complimentary colors. How long did this painting take to make?

Thank you! It took about three hours, off and on.

Sometimes, I like to climb into a laundry basket and tickle my ears!




Sometimes, I do not.

I like it! Don't know why the ears looks like bat ears to me (then again, I don't really know what minipig ears look like, so maybe they just have similar ears?).

They looked a little bat-ish in the photo, but in my epic failure I exaggerated them a bit.

That's not a failure! I dunno about others, but I like them this way.
