The Four Elements

Description

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!)
