Her Distant SongThere was once a fox who lived a solitary life, secluded in his own little valley. Lately though, he could hear a vixen's wail in the distance, across one of the mountains that bordered his little homeland. He thought it the most exquisite sound. The strange, haunting beauty in her voice as she called. The way the wind carried her song across the stone crags, to his waiting ears, filling his idle mind with visions of it's composer. He could see her, perched on a jutting rock, her head raised, drinking in inspiration from the stars, her brilliant red coat---no, she was probably dark and mysterious--illuminated by the last rays of light that ha

Dance Me To the Endby ~ComradeK

The weather had forced him to sleep underground again. It was warmer and safer, but his tree didn't provoke the nightmares like going to earth did. Well, he wouldn't call them nightmares. Waking up, that was the real nightmare, the dreams just made it worse.

Some music I listened to while working on this, to capture the mood I was trying to set:

A larger acrylic painting. Didn't turn out too badly I think. Some things I could've worked harder on, but I've been a bit anxious to get started on another picture, and wanted to finish this first. Jumped on the skele-fox bandwagon, because I realized how fun they are to draw.

This is a very intriguing piece. The subjects are very intimate and interact well with each other. The small details in the painting, such as the fur and whiskers on the fox and teeth on the skeleton make the piece much more life like. One of the most impressive things in this painting is that the skeleton is easily idetifiable as canine. The shattered vertibrae was a nice touch to indicate how the fox had died. This piece conveys emotion very well and has a very sad feeling to it. It's nice to see some good acrylic artwork on DA.

How sad. Did his/her mate die?

~ComradeK Aug 7, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

Yes.

I agree that the broken neck was a great detail to add. Very emotional piece.

i have seen so many dark fox images these days where shadows seem to be the key factor but here the beauty in the colours and the lack of darkness make it so much more stunning, it maybe a dance to the end but i have a felling its a more more warmer and happier dance where the shadows won't come into play.... sorry if i make no sense at all...
