Oh, this is beautiful! The colors are gorgeous, the fire's warmth in contast with the night's chill. It looks comfortable and cozy despite the discomfort :-)

Frasier fanart! So cool. Love the uniform and the wilderness background. Love Dief!

Aw, it's lovely!

The posing is great, I love how the blond character is laid out and leaned up against the Mountie character. I really like how his hands are in his pocket as well, that looks very natural. And the background is beautiful, so cool and sort of eerie, which makes that fire look all the more cozy. I also like how alert the dog is, like he just heard some animal in the woods. Nice pic!

EEE OMG it's so pretty! Thank you!! I love the quiet sweetness and warmth of the scene, and how effectively you captured that with not only the poses but also the colours and the setting. I LOVE the fire and how it reflects on their clothing (and on the hat! And on Dief! that looks fantastic) - I wish I could colour like that, it's just gorgeous. And I love how it contrasts with the cool colours and darkness of the background (which is equally pretty, and I love the trees - they're so simple and yet effective).

I can't stop flailing, heh. It's just so pretty and perfect! Sweet and romantic and totally how I imagine them on their quest or something. I keep being drawn to the colouring on Fraser's left arm, especially, with the reflection of the fire and the sharp shadows... and also his boot. And I love how Ray's hands are in his pockets and how you coloured that part; it looks really good. And Dief looks awesome! Good job with the likenesses, too - I know how hard Paul Gross is to draw... (I like Fraser's hat, too - it's all shiny and reflective of the fire).

Anyway, thank you mystery artist! I'm so happy to get DS art and especially something this gorgeous!

Awwww! I love the clouds and distant trees, and the HAT in the foreground. And do I hear Fraser telling a story about Loooooou Skagnetti? :-)

This is really beautiful! Wow, you're amazing with color! I love the lighting, the cool trees fading into the background and the warmth of the fire, the light reflecting on Fraser's coat. So vivid and cozy! You've really captured Fraser's fresh-faced prettiness, and I love Ray's hunched over sleeping posture. Oh cutey cute boys. <3<3<3

This is so sweet. :} Dief! I love how beautifully they and the firelight stand out against that gorgeous blue background.

Aww! I wasn't going to click since I don't really know the fandom, but I'm glad I did! So sweet! The fire is really well done! :D

Beautiful! Fraser's tender expression and the firelight glowing on his face and Dief's side, and Ray just leaning against Fraser, dozing. The blue background is a nice cool contrast to the orange and reds of the campfire. Nice trees. Love Dief's alert expression, too.

This is lovely. Ray is all snuggled in, and Fraser is enjoying it. I love his expression. The background is really pretty, and a great contrast to the warmth and light of the fire. And Dief looks so alert, like he's going to bound off to investigate some mysterious noise any moment.

My first reaction to this was YAY DIEFENBAKER! :D This is such a sweet, lovely picture. I love the orange glow of the fire and how it reflects on the characters. I can't stop looking at the background trees, they're just beautiful.

Mmm, beautiful work. I love the, well, warmth of this piece to bits. The firelight provides a beautiful sense of intimacy (just like in real life!). I love the way the fire and Fraser's uniform both pop against the dark, cool background. The snuggling is super-sweet, and Fraser's happy little smile goes straight to my heart. :D

[identity profile] kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com 2010-12-14 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
They all look so happy and content in this picture that even I am feeling all fuzzy and warm, too. Fire + firelight is such a hard thing to illustrate imho and you've done so wonderfully here! Love it.

Awww adorable and so cozy!! Love how nestled RayK is and how much this seems to please Benton. And Deifenbaker's all "La la la I'll just look the other way and give you two some private time" AHAHAHAH okay maybe I'm thinking too much abou it. But it's a beautiful scene! Very sweet, very comforting. :D
