Description I haven't uploaded too many African animal pictures of late. So I painted these little adverseries, a fossa (foosa) cub and a male giraffe weevil, who believes the tree is his. Just a quick and fun painting in Photoshop and a nice experiment with shading and lighting. I reaaly liked how the sun flecks turned out I hope ya'all like.. The picture was based on references of very cute baby fossa pictures on Zoo newborns website One of my favorites

Thanks and please enjoy,
all the best,

Blair

You did a very nice job getting the fur to look soft, and, as you mentioned, the lighting scheme is wonderful. Great work!

Oh wow! This is absolutely gorgeous! I love the expression shown on here! By the way, I just wanted to know if you may, per chance, be interested in a project about conservation I am doing to make conservation more well known, by creating a collaborative poster, which I hope to put on display, and I would be absolutely honoured if I could put some of your art on it.

I hope you can consider, I have a journal, a news article, and a club based on it.
Thanks for taking your time to read this,
~Perry~

Hi Perry, thanks for the kind words and by all means, you can use my paintings for your poster, I look forward to seeing it, you have quite a few links already. I am a strong conservationalist and you are most welcome to use my art for your wonderful project.

Take care and best wishes,

Blair

Ah, the poster is actually about drawing a certain animal, with a clear background/transparent, but it doesnt have to be too big. I was really hoping you might be able to draw something for it Sorry if Im asking for too much
