That is a nice painting. I haven't seen that movie since I was in preschool. Surprises me that Disney would allow the hero to die.

This is fantastic! I love the stark sillouettes of them both against the pale background. And the greens and reds in the dog, and purples in the bear too!

What is your medium, here? Acrylics.. Oils?
It appears like many of them are in oils, or am I mistaken completely?

looks awesome. I love the colours you used. I'm not sure about the cut feet/ground. But I like the grass, it gives a movement to the piece.

That's a scary looking bear!!!!
I love the way you've coloured him. I wouldn't want to get in the middle of this fight (scared of dogs and I'm certain that if I met a bear I'd be scared of him too)
Thanks for sharing.

Aie! That's one tough bear there.
I love the purples around the bear's mouth and cheeks. It's subtle but it really stands out for me. It draws me back to that mouth.
Reminds me of my dad watching Old Yeller and breaking the movie apart. He'd never watch the whole thing, he'd just put it on and watch this fight scene. He said they replaced the golden retriever and put in a pit bull and actually got the bull to fight the bear.
You've captured the fear I always got when watching that scene. Amazing work!

I really like the minimalist background, for the reason deona said. Only thing I might change is the grass, which could perhaps use a bit of color.

Love it, almost brings the tears back without even watching it again.

I like how you have mostly left out a background, it really makes the subjects pop out at you. I bet that's a really good thing for illustrations, so they aren't too busy.

That looks great. All the subtle color shades you used in the bear look great. Awesome job!
