The Four Elementsby *jet3270

Anthro / Digital Media / Drawings

The Four Elements appear in many different forms. For *wolf-wind's contest, she has allowed us to represent them how ever we want. I chose animals that are associated with the elements fire, water, wind and earth. The hardest to think of was the Fire element. It started as a dragon. A very nice looking dragon, i quite liked it... But, to keep it slightly realistic (As realistic as a catfish with a bowtie), I went for a salamander, which are said to come from fire. Named Mander (the layer name), He's my favourite. Look he's got beads.
A kestrel in a cravatte. He's a bit fat, too. Moley, with his dirty coat; Inspiration from Wind in the Willows and Redwall. He looks a bit grumpy. Wouldn't you, after having to hold this ball up in the air for ages?. A catfish with a bowtie made from seaweed. Why not?! I picked him for his whiskers.
~kaykaykit's great bubbles again, and method of water.
Well I'm very happy with this; I did the animals last night, and finished the orbs and background today.

Thanks guys! Please leave your opinions, and not just fave it. If you can see itty bitty things for me to change, lemme know! Would you rather just see one image?

Edit: Flip it!!

I really like your picture. Not only the looks, but the story behind it as well.

You are indeed talented. I would love to see how a cat looks, when you draw it (yes, I am cat fanatic!)

I like this very much. The wind pretty much suits the hawk...or falcon. I like the catfish and that mole thing. I love the lizard,salamander. People have to know the animals of elements. A lizard is fire, a fish is water, a bird is wind, and a mole is earth. Somethin' like that.

I love your work, keep it up!

Thank you very much

I wanted to keep the animals 'down to earth' so to speak. Or not mythical. And I'm glad everyone's cottened onto that!

~TheTimeWonderShiro Oct 23, 2008 Hobbyist General Artist

Awsome~! Oh! What's your favorite element anyways? Curious.

*jet3270 Oct 24, 2008 Hobbyist General Artist

Though my star sign says I'm fire, I love air, hence I have pegasus tendencies!

~TheTimeWonderShiro Oct 24, 2008 Hobbyist General Artist

Air is my favorite element too! Hurrah~! I like it 'cuz it's like gentle but powerful at the same time.
Here is like...MY way of the elements.

Fire: Wild but raw. Strong but have a limit. Can rid anything in it's path for a certain amount of time.

Water: Gentle and peaceful but powerful when disturbed. Nothing can survive under it if needed air to breathe. Can only be stopped if there is no more of the same element.

Earth: Still and strudy but can destroy itself. It is the very land we need to live but can sometimes turn on us with awful earthquakes. The only limit is if the power just runs out and needed to wait a few years for it to happen again.

Wind: Gentle, graceful, elegant, and patient. The very element needed to substain life and give off the air we breathe. When disturbed it can cuase much damage. Tornadoes and such. The only limit is for the wind to settle down and become one with itself.

PS. If your icon a horse throwing up a rainbow?
