In using the favourites feature of DeviantArt, I have noticed that one thing lacking with the feature is that one cannot specify what exactly the chooser likes about the piece when they add it to their list. One thing I have done with more recent posts is to try to leave a comment on the artist's page that goes into some detail about what I liked, but I am always afraid to go into too much, as the layout of the comments threads makes them already (to myself, anyway) difficult enough to read. So beginning with this journal entry and the most recent favourite I have chosen, I shall try to explain what aspects of the artwork I really admired.

At some point, I may go back into older favourites listed here, and write about them as well.

So, I begin with: "Icon fer Tribby", [link] by Farore,

I quite like the shading, as well as the expression in the face of the horned feline. She has a slightly sad, boyish, imploring expression as she peeks out of the icon window. The forelock of headfur, as well as the little heart, and the little highlight on the nose, add such sweet touches on the piece. She seems to say "I need a little love." This is just so cute. ^_^
