The third in my series of lizard drawings, probably two more to follow. This one depicts a Tokay Gecko licking his eyes in good gecko fashion. I think of all geckos they are probably the most attractive and "gecko-ish" ones, they are also some of the fiercest lizards imaginable.
I once had a run-in with one of them at a friend's house and managed to get bitten on the side of my hand, which was fine, until I realized he was so tenacious he wouldn't let go. My friend eventually ran a sink of water and had me submerge my hand plus gecko, when he finally un-chomped me because he had to come up for air...
Still, no hard feelings - a lizard's got to do what a lizard's got to do, and if stupid humans stick their fingers where they don't belong, then all bets are off.
The eyes are wonderful, you get a real sense of color and depth from them, particularly with the little light spot (for lack of a better term). Your shading skill is particularly evident here - all those little scales! - and the tongue is just the perfect touch, glistening in anticipation. Chomp!
LOL, how big are they? Cuz when I think gecko, I think a little bitty thing, so I'm imagining this little guy clamped onto your hand. Good job with the texture on his skin
He's a beauty, so innocent-looking... you wouldn't think he'd be capable of being so vicious Beautiful work, as always, specially on the texture of his skin.

Whow! What a wonderful drawing. The texture of the gecko-skin is very plastically. The eye looks very realistic. I had already a gecko on my hand , too, but this one did`nt stay for long. Seems that your skin is more gecko-pleasantly.
Thanks very much! They're really not very big, about from the root of your hand to the tip of your outstretched middle finger, but their attitude is very much outsized in comparison. They pretend like they are a T-Rex...

I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons: though you taste terrible, they're willing to bear it to be rid of the nuisance.
