Maxi Jazz, from an album cover I believe, Its my first picture and I am useless drawing with a mouse so used my old wacom tablet (not that its made much difference).
I was introduced to this site by Rosemary. Hello Rosemary :P
Maybe I will get time to do some more.

I just like the bright colours of this frog so thought it would make fun practice.

My mouse kept freaking out... And I got to finish it, 'cause my teachers didn't give us homework today!~
I improvised this one to make it fit on a smaller picture than the reference was on.
All I can say is: I tried. No, really, that's all I CAN say about this one. I guess it turned out pretty good for my first realism attempt, though.
Remind me to never try realism again. Ugh...

NOTE: This is from the movie scene in Final Fantasy X where Yuna's doing a "sending" or whatever. It's so sad, but so pretty. I remember watching this video on the computer months before we got it in America, and watching it over and over, because I loved it so much. The title of the movie in the game was "The Dance", hence, the name.

The Cat only grinned when it saw Alice. It looked good- natured, she thought: still it had VERY long claws and a great many teeth, so she felt that it ought to be treated with respect.

`Cheshire Puss,' she began, rather timidly, as she did not at all know whether it would like the name: however, it only grinned a little wider. `Come, it's pleased so far,' thought Alice, and she went on. `Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'

`That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.

`I don't much care where--' said Alice.

`Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.

`--so long as I get SOMEWHERE,' Alice added as an explanation.

`Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Cat, `if you only walk long enough.'

Alice felt that this could not be denied, so she tried another question. `What sort of people live about here?'

`In THAT direction,' the Cat said, waving its right paw round, `lives a Hatter: and in THAT direction,' waving the other paw, `lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad.'

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.

`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'

`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.

`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

Alice didn't think that proved it at all; however, she went on `And how do you know that you're mad?'

`To begin with,' said the Cat, `a dog's not mad. You grant that?'

`I suppose so,' said Alice.

`Well, then,' the Cat went on, `you see, a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad.'

`I call it purring, not growling,' said Alice.

`Call it what you like,' said the Cat.

just a rough sketch. Oh, the angst! :P

A lil' rough but still ok I think :)
