As long as there was no piss or mustard on it, I'd hang this on my wall. I like Toggenburgs and Nubians mostly. I just bought the best jar of mustard ever. It's President's Choice le Choix de Président dijon (we have to say everything twice here--once in English and once in Quebecois--which you'll already know if you watched any of the Vancouver Olympics) It's as hot as wasabi. But you can only get it at The Super Store out west or Loblaw's down east.

I love that Inglehoffer Sweet Hot mustard..that stuff is soo good...but it will definitely scorch your sinuses if you get to much at one time...my husband took me to this place one time on our way back from Key west..it was in Jensen Beach called Mrs. Peters smoked fish..and they had the best honey wasabi mustard dip I have ever eaten..I keep telling him we need to go back there because their fish is really good too.

I just go for plain ol' Colman's. Nice goat..they would make beautiful kids. ;p love the title.

A "merman"...."lol"!!

firecracker (Feb 25, 2010)

I just felt like trying a "merman" draw.....it's something a little different from the usual "mermaid" draws...."lol"! I still need to work on this more.....I'm still not satisfied with it. I don't know how that "merman" thinks he is going to battle that huge ugly fish with that spear....I think he is gonna end up as "lunch" for that fish....."lolz"....:) I'm posting this as "finished", cuz I don't feel like working on it anymore at this time.....but I do plan on finishing it later.....I just feel like starting on something different to draw....this one took me quite awhile to draw, and I'm not in the mood to do anymore to it right now.....thanks for all of your comments....I will finish this later.....:)

Egh I think she might have fit better as Envy rather than Lust but was running out of time. Yep it is on blasting art though. I'm not liking her hair. :(

So, everyone seems to be doing a little copying from favored painters & illustrators so I thought I would throw in my 2 cent.

This is from Kay Nielsen. I really love all of his work. Especially for the East of the Sun and West of the Moon book. :)

Not done yet, and the lady needs some reworking of the torso and head, but better then nothing!

I bought all the illustrations from that book in card form about...erm...30 years ago. Still have them. Still love them. This is very, very pretty and has captured the feeling of his work.

Layne (Feb 27, 2010)

I am glad you like it. They republished the east of the sun and west of the moon about two(?) years ago in a really nice hardcover edition. :) I was so glad when i saw because while I had a book of his illustrations I really wanted to be able to read the stories that went along with all of his illustrations.

Very attractive style, those soothing colors are great.

It would be a great contest, draw from your favorite artist. In his or her style.

mursku (Feb 27, 2010)

when i compare your piece with the original, the first thing that pops to my eyes is that the original looks like it was made with watercolors, while yours looks too smooth, there's hardly any texture.. i liked the texture you had going in the fifth version.
if you wanted to have texture like in the original painting, an easy (and quick!) way to do it, would be with a scatter brush (choose a high scatter count and you can maybe crank up the spacing too) on a separate layer. that way you can easily erase the eventual wayward dots from unwanted areas, and you can also play around with the blend mode and opacity (make it subtle)

..hmm, another thing that i noticed was that the original was much more sharper (darker and thinner lines).. i suck at line art so i'll not gonna try to give you any advice on that. You would only get worse if i tried to teach you line art :P

I can't believe I ate the whole thing

blew a whistle lately,no one did anything,passed the buck,so a dangerous bus is on the road,according to my source,and no one is doing anything,cause retarded people are "not important."that's govt. for you,it just does not work much.Oh,and Oregon now has a sales tax,and did not even know it voted it in.Fraud.wow.

"lolz".....you should draw an "oompa loompa" "BMW".....that would be cool......they are so cute...haha!! :P

Purplemartin (Feb 26, 2010)

Glad you blew the whistle, hope there is some change! It is all about money. Around here they keep catching embezzlers, those committing fraud, and they are all with social service agencies. Scary stuff, and the clients sink through the cracks, while they rip off the government and use the money for other things instead of serving the clients. A new sales tax in this economy? Is your state INSANE?
