Drawing of a Gemsbok (Oryx) I did yesterday since my campus had a rare snow day off. There's not... much to say I guess. There's a lot of things about this I dislike and know could be improved. Came very close to submitting it in my main gallery but I just don't feel it's good enough. It can chill in scraps.

Been so dissatisfied with my art lately it's ridiculous. I love art school like crazy but it makes you so very aware of your flaws.

I haven't seen really any oryx art here on dA -- it's nice to see such a fine piece of one <3

I like the contrasts of the blues and purples with the pinks and pale yellow-oranges. Well done with the composition, as well as with the gemsbok itself.

Seems like a lot of art students feel the same way, but I guess there's always gonna be flaws or someone better, especially in the art industry, but best thing to do is keep on truckin' towards the end goal.

It's beautiful! Been meaning to comment on it for awhile. I love Gemsbok. I love how smooth it all looks. I also love night desert scenes xD The colors are awesome. Personally I think it's good enough for main gallery, but the artist usually does see more flaws than the viewer.

Oryyyx <3 This is amazing, I really love how you did the colours in this piece, the contrast of the blue/purple and the beige is very neat. The oryx itself looks really well done, the shading absolutely blows me away!

What do you MEAN it's not good enough to submit to you're main gallery I almost missed this because I wasn't watching scraps (I am now though)
I love the shading, especially on the horns

Oooh, boy, new stuff from Kaylink! It actually took me a minute to realize this was yours. It looks so much different from a lot of your work (in a good way). It's cool that it's not another wolf too. It's fun to see something different from you. Great work!

I love the colouring on these animals, it's just so clean cut and beautiful <3 the head is particularly impressive and your night sky looks so cold, yet welcoming...I like it. This whole picture just seems to capture some emotion, be it lonliness, hope or sadness, I really kinda like it, except for the fact DIS IS NUT A WULF!! I AM DISAPPOINT.

guardianxofxmoon [2011-01-22 17:22:27 +0000 UTC]

just because I am curious, is it supposed to have that hump? I've never seen that animal before some I'm not sure...

Kaylink In reply to guardianxofxmoon [2011-01-22 21:11:36 +0000 UTC]

The bulls tend to have a slight hump [link] I exaggerated the neck's curves here a bit

guardianxofxmoon In reply to Kaylink [2011-01-23 16:47:25 +0000 UTC]

Ah! I see, yeah, it does look like you exaggerated it a bit, causing the slight hump to look bigger than it should. That's okay, you'll know for next time. =^_^=

Aww, well, I really like it. X3 Art school probably does make you "so very aware" of your flaws, but being an artist in general does that too. XP

I am thrilled with you. I love antelope. Mostly springbox and gemsbok and... I just realized I was getting ready to list about ten different kinds of antelope But the point, you see, is that I'm really happy you did such a lovely painting of a gemsbok. Thank you.
