I would have gotten you the real thing, but since this is 2draw, you'll have to settle for a drawing of it...

Laff at you? I am overawed..it looks 3d! almost creepy! well done
davincipoppalag (Apr 3, 2006)
Lol I was gonna say it looks like a precious memories thing. Is this being done for a friend?
DeadlyBlondeArcher (edited Apr 3, 2006)
it is wonderful so far... i'll smile at you but i wouldn't laugh at you for doing this.

are you sure it's a boy---it's wearing pink footie pj's . not that boys aren't allowed to wear pink, they are, ijust didn't think the precious moments boy wore pink pjs.
Gigandas (Apr 3, 2006)
I think it's more on the purple-side. It might look more that way once I add the darker shadows in.

ahhhhh ahhhhhhh! precious momentsss <333
Rosemary (Apr 4, 2006)
aww looking lovely..
Miss_DJ (Apr 4, 2006)
this is preciously precious and wonderfully 3-D!
Sweetcell (Apr 4, 2006)
Ahhh, a sweet precious moment. It looks like modeled clay. Could be a girl DBA, maybe her hair hasn't grown long enough. Or the mother really wanted a girl and dresses her son in pink. Now I'm just being bad. :D
xiau (Apr 4, 2006)
Ohh my, Precious Moments! I remember these from when I was little~ (which wasn't too long ago? hmm...)
Anyways, I recognized it immediantly. It looks like it's made out of clay! Amazing 3-D...

Ohh, come on now! This deserves more than intermediate :)

fleeting_memory (Apr 4, 2006)
well would you look at that? A cute Niel picture. He actually looks like he's made out of that precious moment stuff-and its deffinately a dude lol
Opium (Apr 4, 2006)
how adorable! I agree fleeting, it does look like the plaster, makes you want to touch it!
Silvair (Apr 4, 2006)
Awww! I just want to reach into my screen and give him a pat on the head. It looks so figurine-like, and so very smooth :). Nice job so far!
Noremac (Apr 4, 2006)
HAHAHAHa haha, hahaha... ahhh... whooooo~ nobody laughed at you yet, figured i would break the silence.
Gigandas (Apr 4, 2006)
Haha, thanks Cam :P.

The texture is wonderful.
safescene (Apr 5, 2006)
I like this and it is quite precious, but the background annoys me. It distracts from the preciousness.
friend (Apr 5, 2006)
This is kick butt!
LisaAnne (Apr 6, 2006)
Precious moments are nice. My mom started a collection for me as a child...I never kept up with it, but I went to the man's museum when I was younger, and it was quite interesting. You show alot of skill in this piece though, it seems life like.
Gigandas (edited Apr 6, 2006)
Would anyone like to suggest a bg for this? I really don't know what would suit this well....but the one main thing I'm trying to avoid is something very soft and light that'll end up blending right into the figure. So if anyone has any ideas...I'd REALLY appreciate it. This pic is really important to me :-/...

-I'd also like to thank everyone for your comments.
DeadlyBlondeArcher (edited Apr 6, 2006)
I love the background, I really hope you don't change it. I think if you add a few more "spotlights", maybe in a different color and size, at different depths (not too many, and not evenly spaced) it will be perfect. If you do decide to change it somehow, I would stick with the very dark/black base you have now, it makes the little guy really stand out.

I personally despise little figurines, I think they are cluttery and I always have this urge to pick them up and SMASH them against the wall. :) I do, however, like this picture very much.

I was thinking after I commented on this the first time that I seem to remember reading somewhere once upon a time, a long time ago, that pink was initially intended for boys and blue for girls, but it got switched somewhere along the way. Anybody else ever hear that? Just wondering...

you need balloons hehe

Awesome. Looks real.
DeadlyBlondeArcher (edited Apr 11, 2006)
If I were she, I would feel better for sure. You did a great job on this. I gotta say " AWWWWW... ain't that sweet of ya." :) (whatever it is laurael, please do feel better)

edit: this background really does work better than the other one. I was stupid. lol This is perfect.
Gigandas (Apr 11, 2006)
Thanks DBA, but safescene suggested using a shade of brown, so she deserves the credit for this one.
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Apr 11, 2006)
she can have some of the credit, but you get the happy face sticker by your name... :)
JoeNobody (Apr 11, 2006)

Awwww, Niel! This is amazing work! How could I feel bad after seeing this? Thank you so much. You are so sweet and caring. It put the biggest smile on my face.
Thanks also, to those who care. Yes, I am feeling much better now. :)
Gigandas (Apr 17, 2006)
lol, whoa, I was just refreshing the main page when I saw this pop up with your name beside it!
I'm so glad I put a smile on your face :). I know I'm pretty useless to the situation, so I thought this was the least I could do for ya...
laurael (Apr 17, 2006)
No, no...you are NEVER useless. Don't ever forget that. :) (((((((Niel)))))))
