Artist's Comments
For the Totem Cards Project ( [link] ), here is my card for the Thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus).
I went back to my usual style (symbolic & stylized) and my favorite painting materials (gouache on watercolor paper) for this. I love to paint skulls, so I added one in, to symbolize the fact that it is considered extinct (though I secretly hope there are some hidden and alive somewhere out there). The eyes are empty for that reason, too. Additionally, the skull provides a definite "up" direction (so it has, for totem deck purposes, a "reverse" if it is drawn from the deck upside-down). I looked up hundreds of references for the thylacine, and did it in my own way (with a little bit of artistic license). It was a lot of fun to do all that research (mmm *drools*) as well as paint these creatures, especially since I've always been fascinated by them. It's mostly gouache on Strathmore watercolor paper, with a bit of pencil and Micron pen. Slight touchups in Photoshop. |

The symbology is wonderful, and the details you put into the anatomy, artistic liberties or not, are beautiful. The colors and the textures are perfect.
I was thinking about getting the deck because there is so much wonderful art, but now I know for certain I will have to, just for this card alone.
I have to ask, is the original available? If it is, if I get on my hands and knees and beg nicely could I make arrangements to purchase it and add it to my collection?
On a random sidenote, about all of those references that you looked up and used, do you happen to still have them? I'd love to get my paws on anything and everything, especially good anatomy references.
Drop me a note here or email at leopardwolf@gmail.com when you get a chance.
