Shell Shock

DeadlyBlondeArcher (May 24, 2004)

from an old b&w photo from which the caption reads: A marine covered with dirt, grime and coral dust boards a coast guard assault transport in February of 1944 after two days and nights of fighting on Eniwetok in the Marshall Islands.

More than anything else, I wanted to capture his expression... that "thousand mile stare". Think I got it.

I saw what you wrote about the new book and I went to look at your gallery. For what it's worth, I think the book will be lacking by missing you. Your work is fabulous.

This one is for my little brother, Trooper "Spark Plug" Cole.
Remember, while searching a vehicle for drugs to be cautious of apple dumplings in subject's purse. The crack is probably under the car, not in it, anyway. And beware, girls, the drug dog will bite your baby on the ass if you hide the drugs in his diaper. :)

Oh thanks, Icats... I wondered if I should do that dew path, I thought some people might think it was a misplaced shadow. And LOL Childlike... that was hilarious (there are ppl that really do that, and the drug dogs don't really bite the babies, Dino, but there's no law against cops telling the crack-whore Moms that they will.... lol...)

edit: Lori: I used to, when I painted alot... usually at showings or art competitions ppl would just offer to buy them, and I was commissioned to do some, but not lately. I may never paint again for real because I love this applet stuff... LOL Now if we can just find a way to go POOF it's on canvas that would be heavenly.

LovelyLori (May 24, 2004)

wouldn't it? I agree... :)

davincipoppalag (May 27, 2004)

When I got up today, I turned on the news and there on the screen was a picture almost identical to this.. I thought they were broadcasting this! Turns out it was an investigation of a shooting in New Haven, but I swear I thought I was seeing this!

DeadlyBlondeArcher (May 27, 2004)

Yes, I had a premonition.... but I knew you'd think I was crazy if I told you.... lol just kidding. :)

woot!! Great subject... The eyes are quite expressive... However, the beak could use some work...

emmamommalag (May 25, 2004)

How'd I miss this one? A pink griffin.. this is so different and very cool. I love it. :)

Knockoff (May 28, 2004)

I don't know why theres not more comments, this is really cool.
The colors are nice, I love the deatil, esp on the beak.
I like the way you did the feathers to show its windy. ;)!

Destervetha (Jul 9, 2004)

The colors are nice, the fur is lovely, but I just can't stand griffies without raptorial beaks! No matter how well rendered those offending beaks might be! *throws pudding at non-murderous beak*

this is nice... WW2... nice picture to draw.. put me in the middle of the war :S

davincipoppalag (May 22, 2004)

At the very beginning of WWII they still wore the "tommy" style helmets . The GI Joe ones didnt come out until a bit later.

Aubrey (May 22, 2004)

This is really excellent Cindy. The perspective is great and everything that everyone else mentioned that makes it that way :) It's action standing still.. just great.
