[@LiliVillage]

Wow! Even wild animals like theses ones you can easly draw perfectly!!!

[@beauciferous]

Man... Your art just makes my heart hurt with the joy of all this beauty

[@Icoria5]

Beutiful! I love the lighting effects. Very well done! Nice effect with the sandune, moon, and animal!

[@WolfsTale]

love these creatures, they're beautiful!

[@P0int13lank138]

Thank god I've found this video. I heard the same music being used on a wolf animation a long time ago but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't find the name of it.

[@3BarsCreekRanch]

Awesome! The Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex theme :) You rock!

[@IAmRooble]

It's. So. Brilliant... This just inspired me to go practice my ungulates! Such fascinating animals especially the oryx which you've captured tremendously well in this speedpaint. Breathtaking and inspiring to say the least :)

[@GodisKanin]

I LOVE how u explains in the vid how u do when u draw, it helps me alot to be a better artist :3

[@SketchyRat]

you have so much variety of art subjects and animals.... man, you and Avy are legendary! Amazing artwork and I love the scenery!

[@illustrationbydureka]

This piece is absolutely gorgeous. I love the shading, the scenery, I can't compare my art to something like this ;o; I'm aching to learn how to do shading like that, and also better textures! Wonderful drawing, and a really pretty song.

[@smokingtofu]

I'm a giant ungulant and cervine fan myself.....beautiful creatures. Very underated in the animal community, too, because everyone is too busy drawing cats and dogs. But a Kaylink speedpaint!!!! I love watching you work, oh man, college must be busy for you. How are you?

[@Lex60]

Thanks for taking time to upload this wonderfull work. Is awesome how your videos are not tutorials but I learn so much just looking how you work. Is like seeing behind your shoulder and not bothering with questions xD sorry my bad english.

[@PrayerCreef]

I love watchng your work~

[@WolfTransformation22]

This drawing is beautiful :)! I wish I would be that good at drawing.

[@UndercoverAkatsuki]

This is absolutely gorgeous! The setting and the light is absolutely stunning! I really like the blue and purple tones you used. You really do great ungulates, I must commision you for my bongo charrie somtime o3o

[@hymnsofmisery1]

Very impressive :D Im loving the colours and shading style here :)

[@TheEmolaylay]

AMAZING!

[@SinCelticus]

Beautiful drawing

[@_rentalgf]

Jesus O.o Incredible work !! anyway ... I saw Taylor ;oooooo

[@Kaytothelink]

@SenseiOfPower Well, obviously. Like I said in the description, I'm an animation major. My future literally depends on me putting out hundreds of drawings a week. All that means is that the energy I use for art is normally sapped up by my homework, not that I've stopped.

[@PuppyMillPrevention]

AMAZING AS ALWAYS! :3

[@SaraAson]

People came for you're doggies but stayed for the variety XD Atleast I did =)

[@lyingfawn]

How manage to keep inspired to illustrate such stunning pieces after hours of working in school is beyond me but...my goodness it's just amazing what you can do with a pen and a few hours of time. This is so incredibly inspirational, from when you started sketching to when you were simply coloring lines; everything just added had its own touch of beauty to the piece. Excellent, excellent work-maybe one of my favorite pieces from you! by the way, i'm just curious: why such thin lineart? :o

[@roughly2feet]

These creatures have such an interesting body... love the anatomy in these guys. C: Anywho, I was curious how you got your lines to look so smooth/less pixal-y -- especially with a small brush on a huge drawing. I'm in a few art classes at my school and I've finally gotten used to a tablet, but I can never seem to make the lines look as clean as I want them to. :/

[@Lkleafeon]

...Wow, this is good:3

[@paris101112131415]

Lol, there's a lot of comments like this, but anyway, I found this amazing, not many people draw Ungulants, but Gemsbok are really cool Creatures, and it was really cool to find one of my favourite Artist's drawing one, at first I wasa bit confused with sketching in Black, but then I realised, ,LOWER THE OPACITY XD lol, real idiot here. It was also kinda strange 'cause you did thin lineart when you normally do it a little bit thicker, but it just made this seem all the more awesome! Lol.

[@tabtiff]

Your an amazing artist! I'm so jealous. :) May I ask what the song is?

[@Beeker575]

is that the music from ghost in shell? And awsome vid and artwork

[@VioletVaria]

God, where do you find the inspiration for most of your pictures...?

[@Kaytothelink]

@smokingtofu Thank you :> I agree, they are fantastic animals. Been good, just busy. Animation is a very production-intense major so by the time I'm done with homework I'm normally too beat to do anything but sleep. But I'm eager to keep going too :>

[@Kaytothelink]

@LeslyeRowyn Thank ya. Hmm... I really like larger mustelids (badgers, wolverines, fishers), small wildcats like Pampas Cat, Andean Mountain Cat, Rusty Spotted Cat, the more obscure breeds of fox. And donkeys/mules because they're badass... no pun intended.

[@Kaytothelink]

@proxyshark Thank you very much; I actually did this one on a day off so that would explain how I kept focused haha :p But thank you. I was going for a smoother, more painterly look so I didn't want big fat lines isolating the gemsbok. Wouldn't fit in with the background as well.

[@Cynerik_KG]

@Kaytothelink It's japanese i think. its on Ghost in the Shell which is a japanese anime (been dubbed in english though).

[@Dinoboots]

You may be thinking of her referencing a character. Like if she is drawing someone else's character she would pull up a picture of them to get the character right, as in markings and colors, not necessarily referencing the anatomy, that she uses real photos for.

[@catcrazy999]

Wwwwooooaaaa.......

[@SinCelticus]

I think it is an Oryx antilope :)

[@In2theshadows1]

Excuse me, what is that grey layer for? And how do you get it?

[@lindseymarie1013]

When you use a 1 pixel brush to ink and you have thicker sketch lines, how exactly do you follow the sketch? (like, do you ink the center of the sketch lines, or more towards the edges?) When I attempt 1 pixel line art my overall picture always ends up looking wonky because my inking lines are inconsistent with the thicker sketch below. If that makes any sense at all. I've been struggling with this for awhile, so I tend to sketch and ink with roughly the same size brush.

[@LyncasterArt]

You sure you're not mistaking the times when she uses a character ref sheet to get the colors, markings, etc. correct on whatever character she's drawing? I've seen her do that in many a video, but it's far from referencing poses. XD That's just making sure colors and markings are proper, not poses or anything else. :P

[@roxaslover9]

Ahaha I thought I recognized this song. Intro to Ghost in the Shell

[@Kaytothelink]

@ToritheKatt Thank you very much :)

[@buckethead0levani]

Kaytothelink WHEN U FINISH UR PICTURE HOW MUCH MOMERY PIC NEED IT IS TYPE LIKE RPG? OR ? i mean if i can make in this program simple pictures ,amine and manga pictures with text for comicses

[@SleepyDawn]

she has a tutorial video on photoshop, that taught me how to do it.

[@Kaytothelink]

@neshapup17 I think so. I've never watched the show myself so I can't say for sure.

[@wallner1995]

i know this song!!!

[@deadithink]

Spooky.

[@SheWolf231]

Oddly, this reminds me of the theme song from the current season of Ghost in The Shell...Hmm....Interesting.

[@mdmayhew]

using a reference image to draw is like using your eyes to see...

[@Daimond98]

woooooow yes i like meeee

[@lol2946]

wat is the song ?

[@Kaytothelink]

@SenseiOfPower Not at all, I certainly can't copyright a word c: You're free to use it

[@nhrya]

what is the name of this animal?

[@Kaytothelink]

@pokelover008 I think at least part of it is Russian, but I'm not entirely sure.

[@Wolfiedude101]

Great pic and good fuckin song to go with. :)

[@MonoxDragon]

@pokelover008 Latin, Russian and English I think.

[@Kaytothelink]

Gemsbok

[@Kaytothelink]

@TakuraLioness You're thinking of someone else because I don't use other artist's drawing as reference. And yes people rarely ask anyway, which is a shame.

[@Jerome335Fang]

@pokelover008 I think all of it is Russian

[@Kaytothelink]

@TakuraLioness Referencing from a real animal and referencing from a drawing of one are not the same thing.
