Following the Fox by ~AdamHunterPeck holds an awesome sense of perspective. I want to read the story that this seems to fit with.

Description
acrylic, 2006 (an older piece)
This piece is based on a Siberian Folk Tale called "The Girl Who Watched in the Night", in which this particular girl lassoes a fox who has been kidnapping her cousins, and demands that he lead her to her kin.
Originally, I illustrated this same scene from a normal angle, level with the girl. My illustration teacher told me that it didn't convey the movement of running through the woods; it was too static. So I went back and tried again from a different angle, and this is what I produced. So, I'm thankful that my teacher was honest and coaxed me to try again, because I like this version much better than the first.
Thank you all for the wonderful comments! Your words mean a lot to me! And thank you to ~C-Ungol and ^De-Profundis for the DD, I'm honored!

This is still my favorite piece of art. Every once in awhile I'll think of it or see something that reminds me and I still can't get over this.
