Daily Deviation

Given 2009-09-08

Appa by *akreon. To be fair, this artist has an astounding amount of wonderful deviations in their gallery to chose a Daily Deviation from, but the simplicity of this work paired with the unusual, realistic rendition of Appa from Avatar: TLA makes it something that cannot be passed on! Enjoy this and the rest of this deviant's gallery! (Suggested by *talliesynn and Featured by ^ArtisticAunJuli)

Critiques


:icondawnfrost:
Overall very nice piece. The contrast between Oppa and the left background is very well done, and makes his lower half pop. Though the contrast within Oppa himself is a little low. I under stand he is a light colored creature, but I feel you could have accented the shadow of his underbelly, under his main, and defined his muzzle just a tade more. I would have also liked to see more shines in his hair and fur such as what you have done on his hoof toes. The anatomy of Appa is extreamly well done, You did your reaserch.

WOW! That's the first thing that came to mind when I saw this picture of Appa. I have to say that this is the best fan art I've seen in a long time! You did an amazing job making it look as real as possible and still keeping the fictional bits of it. The background is also a beautiful bit and adds a lot too this piece. You obviously put a lot of work into this picture just as you do your other pieces and you desire a reward or something! I'm honestly blown away by this piece. Keep up the good work!
