Artist's Comments
Thousands of years ago, one of this creature's ancestors received a terrible wound that resulted in permanent blindness. All her descendants have since sported white, clouded eyes that possess no optic sensitivity. In the interim, the mane encircling the creature's neck and shoulders has evolved, lengthening into a series of whip-like tentacles that bear large lidless eyes. With these, the animal may see in a full 360-degree field, with various eyes within the mane specialised for daylight, nighttime, ultraviolet light, etc. To keep them moistened, the Lamarck's Beast will periodically bring the eyes forward into the mouth and lick them gecko-style.
I hardly ever get to use purple, and my tube of purple paint was looking a bit too fat and smug, so I thought I'd take it down a notch by painting most of the background purple. 36 x 50 cm, acrylic on illustration board. Also, a free virtual self-administered cookie goes out to those who can guess how this pic got it's title! |

What's a painting without a story? I can't stand descriptions like this: "photoshop w/ wacom tablet. 5 hours". Ugh... they grate on my nerves, till the point where I'd rather jump down the aforementioned bottomless pit thingo. Well, maybe not that much... but getting there.
So, once again, thank you for commenting Peachfuzz! And you wrote a pretty awesome comment yourself.

But, I do need to start thinking up background info on my characters. I have stories and descriptions for only a few. Most are only as deep as the paper they're drawn on...
That was cool, that last bit you wrote. With this pic, I worked the artwork around the title, basically because it was a cool title and I have trouble thinking of cool titles! I've enjoyed reading your character descriptions so far, too, so along that vein, keep 'em coming!
