Regnum animale/animalium - the Animal Kingdom
Yup, yup. The title means 'animal kingdom' in Latin. I could really think of an idea for a title other then 'connection' so I decided to Google search it up. ;]
This is my art trade with tokyokisshu. Originally it was going to just be a request, and I don't know if it still is, but she asked for something animal-themed/related. So here's my interpretation of that. :D
I have actually seen a shirt like that when I was in Garden of the Gods in Colorado, in the gift shop. I really loved the idea, so I decided to add it in here.
Please ignore my horrible excuse for a snake (I was supposed to add it looping around another time, that's why it's body doesn't match up) and the colors on the parrot. I used no references, so I can't say it's the best.
If you're wondering what the h-e double hockeysticks is up with the background, I can't really say too much myself. I didn't have a good idea for a background, so I was going to do a bunch of different animal things, like zebra stripes. When I started to do the zebra stripes, however, it looked more like tree branches. Hence, I got the idea for showing that all the animals are connected, by having three different climate/zones where animals live. The jungle/forest, the tundra, and the savanna/grasslands.
Materials:
Prismacolor pencils
microns 05 and 01

Hope tokyokisshu likes it! MORE ART TRADES/REQUESTS, ON THE WAY SOON. 8D *is a slowpoke*
NOTE: The thing on her right leg (our left) is a bag with a fish in it, by the way.
EDIT/ANOTHER NOTE: High resolution loves animals. :D
