Damn dba...I just love your pics. I'm comin' to your place and stealin' them all(the ones you did in real mediums of course)...to hell with PAYIN' for 'em...I'd be broke and wouldn't have any place to put 'em...lol.

Laura, 'Amazing' job. Your drawings have been getting so much better (it's like you progress with every picture). Great job, sweetie. ^_^

Awesome. You are so talented.

Magazine quality..wow

:)!!!!

that is just precious. awesome work

I am so in love with this :)

lol davin, they aren't all gonna get sharper, because I don't like everything sharp... I like soft. :)

dunno, someone might think you've gone soft.

lol, marcello...i guess thats part of the mystery of the great deadly one...she's still just an ol softy ;p

i dont know what this is but it's really awesome. you made the...tubular...area look kinda...well..tubular...which i thought was pretty cool

Looks like someone forgot to get their shots or something. lol Your drawings are always so different and creative... can make lots of things out of them with an imagination.

a spine/spider web. >:) I see blood, muahhahhhaah!

wow, improvement *shock* id comment on the hands but i feel like keeping whatever parts i happen to have.

though lately youre just copying pics. originials are so much better. nyah.

Yea... I know mazi, But I have to do them for my art project. :(
It's really cool. I didn't think that they would let me hand work in thats been done on the computer but as long as they see the stages I went through to do it they are fine with it! ^_^

Amazing drawing... very well drawn! Your artwork is very advanced! You drew the picture extremely close to the original and you could replicate the details and beautiful effects. And she is naked and sexy so I have a hardon now. >;) You are great Fin beast! >:D

They are exactly as they are supposed to be... they are able to cock their ears at that angle. It is something they do when they become predatory and aggressive. One of the fascinating things about them. In some photographs I have seen of them, one ear will even be cocked upward and the other outward. (In this one, his left ear is actually cocked up from the back of his head inward more than his right one... his right one is almost in between stages.) Strange, I know, but an accurate depiction.

I considered doing them the other way, but I thought it was more interesting like this... I couldn't decide if it would disturb ppl and take away from the essence of him.. perhaps it has, maybe I'll change it, I don't know. Does it bother anyone else? (It would be extremely easy to change if it is disturbing)

mountain lions are supposed to be disturbing! ;p;

wow...meow! This is neat. So real, I like the wiskers >:3

He's so cute! That scarf looks so real... I just want to reach out and snuggle it up around his neck! He has a bit of a Norman Rockwell feeling to him... love this.

O.O He looks evil! O.O;; Well... anyways, it's still an admirable piece! Two thumbs up! ^_^

great. love the weird detail.

the lines on the right ear are a little messed but besides that great pic

to be very honest Neko Sama, I was a little hesitant to put the shadow there, but I had to be somewhat realistic there. so ya. heh heh sorry bout that ^_^;
and yeah I did mess up, thank you for pointing it out *sarcasm* lol, no seriously, thanks for the comment.

Again with the realistic thing! I just do shadowing my way which really sucks, which is very unlike yours. If it's one thing I hate to do, it's coloring... I luv it still though wich I forgot to add in my earlier comment. *here Marcello I took your advice; cold turkey is quite appetizing. I wonder if I spelled appetizing wrong someone plz tell me!*

Thanks yall. :)

Oooh, more pictures of the home of my heart! You have a real gift for rendering this kind of scene, Cindy! :) There are two points that I have to question, though, for future reference (again, not that I could do this myself, but I can tell that these two points don't look quite right -- my eye being better at this than my hands, as yet, at least).

First, the ripples in the dry wash of the path seem to me to be too consistently angled, instead of following the curves of the path, the way I'd expect them to, if they were caused by water running over the mud during flood time (which is what I think of when I see that kind of image). They'd make more sense if there were a way for the water to have acted on the land outside of the path, the same way, but with the wall there, I'd expect the water to be restricted to the path more, and curve to follow it, during flash floods.

Second, the tufts of greenery on the bush don't seem to have a correlary set of darker areas, within the shadow of the bush, so it looks to me like the shadow is of a bush that doesn't have as much foliage on it as this one does.

These are both fairly minor points though, which I offer only in order to point out directions in which you can continue to work on advancing your work, which is already spectacular, and VERY evocative of the landscapes you've been painting. <smile> As you may be able to tell, what I've seen so far has been enough to spur me to go back through the pictures in your user board, in order to see more of these pieces! <grin> But even great artists can still grow, and I hope I've offered some useful suggestions for your consideration, here. :)

sure, always, I appreciate all the helpful suggestions. (Actually, it doesn't rain often where this was taken from and it's very windy, so I assume the ripples were caused by the wind since the sand changes rapidly - although the rain does a number on this wash when it does happen)
