'Firedancer' has a lot of movement, lovely colours and a very unique character design. Not only that it is a traditional piece of art, it has also been done on self dyed fabric. ~keaalu has a wonderful and unique gallery which is definitively worth a look at but yet her artwork is quite unseen, which is a shame in my opinion.

Description

aka "Dance of the Rampant Salamander", which I'd have preferred if devFArt would let me have ONE MORE FRICKIN' LETTER IN MY TITLE. *grr* I'm aware she looks a little Lena-esque - that wasn't deliberate, I just like speckly newts.

I had fun with this one; originally she was going to be a symbolic, non-humanoid little salamander-y creature (I know, she looks more newtly, but I don't care), but since I couldn't get her to fit on the page properly I made her humanoid. The background is my dye-work - 5 hours or so - and the rest is acrylic and coloured pencil (mostly acrylic).

I'm planning a partner to it; just bluer, and more demure. Something says "Grecian" to me, so maybe the blue version will look a bit Greek.

Edit: Erf, where did that come from? *brain melts*

Thank you, all... :) I'll just... go be shy and hide, now... *hides*

(Now watch me go and futz the thing up by trying to edit the description...)

An underrated DD with such unique design of her dancing appearance. Newt is not too famous in anthro community as well as the aqua pet. And yet you had created a bombshell in traditional. :)
