The big blog of Apel's set-inspired paintings (image heavy)

Apeldille's picture
What the title says. I often play tef and find interesting set combos and base a design on them (and sometimes I just want to draw them). Most of these are more or less old, and some you might recognise if you've met apeldille-deer recently. Many of them have names, tiny stories, and ideas attached to them.

Here are a lot of those small paintings I've made over the years I've been here. These design are not up for adoption or free to take. Hence the "apeldille" everywhere. No stealin'

Under cut!

Well yes. These are just really good. I've already been chattering your ears off about these but I just love them. The first one I think is the most original? Or well it really stands out. In love with the colors. But the fifth one from the top is my favourite XD

So amazingly lovely, all of

Ohmygoodness, Apel!!!

*is completely truly deeply in love with all of these*

Your cat-creature up there is so unique, interesting, and makes me smile. I just want to pet it, but I fear it would be venomous or something because of all the bright colors >.<

I adore how you used oil-puddle-rainbow-like colors in all of the Peacock feather designs, and your liquid eyes are just amazing.

The smoldering feathers on the chocolate skull-faced deer are just gorgeous.

I am repeatedly drawn to the green, fallow-antlered doe mainly for her alien qualities and the foliage in her antlers. She seems so innocent and ethereal, yet dangerous.

I've had thoughts of a plain golden stag like the one you drew, but never really put them in to action. That set also resonates with me, and the blotchiness of the colors is just wonderful; very reminiscent of a sun-spotted pelt.

I would also like to see the Boar-Deer in-forest! That concept is just wonderful and so creative. (I could see it mixed with a Fu-dog concept, too.)

These are all so wonderful beyond words, but I hope I could articulate some of my feelings about them!

My eyes keep going to the feathers on the black with white stripes doe (fifth one down). The design of the feathers is so simple, yet eye-catching at the same time... o-o

I love all of these, though. ♥

You are amazing... I'm

You are amazing... I'm finding it hard to choose a favourite, I love them all. ;uu;

I like the very first deer, and the legs of the one running beside it. I freaking love the DotD one; its mask, feathers and body. I also really like the line art you drew... And the sitting buck and softness of the blue stag at the bottom.

omg your art I can't conjure

omg

I can't conjure the proper amount of adjectives which are similes to 'amazing' so I'll just leave this smiley here.

Gotta say I'm fondest of the boar one myself. Which is weird because I'm really not a fan of boars. xD

You have such a vivid imagination. I love it. I'm envious that you can translate it out; my imagination doesn't often like to ... let me draw it? xD I don't know |D
