Artist's Comments

Having tired of the superunknown, the wandering shaman came upon the
young sadface Ari,...not seeking the way, but asking of a new way.
Wary of the ancient shaman’s way of speaking in riddles, Ari directed the
old wiseman to a path in the distance, but advised the shaman that it most
likely was not the way he sought since it was a well traveled road.
The old shaman nodded his gratitude to the young sadface, then turned slowly
and began walking in the direction of the well worn trail. As he disappeared
into the veil of mist blanketing the path Ari could hear the old wiseman’s final
words drifting back to him,...
‘Perhaps,...it is not always a new path that we seek,...
but a new way to walk it.’

yeah yeah yeah. i made that up. a bit lame and corny. whateva.
so anyway,...
when i first came to DA, i was pretty pleased to see how many anthro
artists infested this place. why? well, because, i was a bit of a anthro
artist myself,...among other things.
so, i’d go around trying to hook up with these other anthro types and they’d
look at me and say things like,...’miff miff, keke, yip yip, XD XD.’
and i’d like be,...’wtf did you just say?’
needless to say i was pretty much cast out of the anthro clics. *shrug*
i still dig ‘em though.
however, the one anthro hellion that would ALWAYS give me the time of day
was/is a hard rocker called ’terriblekim’.
boy. can she ever RANT! lol.
okokokok. i’m rambling a bit too much,...
so, the sadface Ari is a creation of the mega talented terriblekim that she
submitted to her account heavyteeth and gave an open invitation for anyone
to color.
what can i say? i couldn’t resist!!!

uh oh.
almost quitting time!
you guys be cool!

ps-
the sadface Ari copyright kim cassin (with the emphasis on ass. lol.)
the shaman tusk copyright d. e. holmes

Daily Deviationthe path by *dholms The technique used in all of this artist's paintings and drawings never fails to blow me away, and this image is no exception. The sheer amount of texture and story that he's able to fit into one single image is amazing - full view is a must! (Featured by `silentkitty)

I'll pretend it's more like a fantasy illustration. And I like the story, corny or not. :)

wow, D, i'm speechless. naaa...not really. you know better than that! ;) this is fantastic! the depth and detail is amazing! of course, i'd expect nothing less from 'the master'. i love the shaman! he looks great! and the mist is an awesome touch. i love your story too. it brings it all to life. you know, D, your work is some of the best on DA without a doubt. but you make it even more special with your presentation. you seem to put so much thought into every piece. the font....the embellishments....the borders. and even the descriptions. it all comes together perfectly to make your work the best around. :worship: :clap: :worship:

:love: :hug: :blowkiss:
