DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jul 7, 2007)
We were born to mothers who smoked and drank
Our cribs were covered in lead-based paint
No childproof lids
No seatbelts in cars
Rode bikes with no helmets
and still here we are
Still here we are

We got daddy's belt when we misbehaved
Had three TV channels you got up to change
No video games and no satellite
All we had were friends and they were outside
Playing outside

It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world

School always started the same everyday
the pledge of allegiance, then someone would pray
not every kid made the team when they tried
We got disappointed but that was all right
We turned out all right

It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world

No bottled water
We drank from a garden hose
And every Sunday,
All the stores were closed.

It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world

It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world

Yes, the lightning bugs die in the jars, but not usually till morning. (gotta poke holes in the lid, of course). You probably don't see them there because they like warm arid climates. Usually it's just too dry here for them.

(my brother Kevin loved playing Monopoly so much that he made up new rules to make it last longer... like instead of paying the bank, you put your money on free parking and if you landed there you got the pile hah) Eventually Clint and I would say, OK, that's it... no more... game OVER, anyway. :)

My feet are still that tough, I never wear shoes outside (at home or at the beach or on the lake). My nieces and nephew still enjoy playing outside more than doing anything else and I'm so thankful they are growing up the way they are... with the ranches and the pecan orchard and the plum thickets. It made my heart feel so light to watch them weave their way into the wild plum thicket (we're talking places only rabbits can go lol),[they managed to talk me into squeezing in, but I'm not sure how I did it] and come out with their shirts rolled up to their waist full of plums, grinning from ear to ear. The plums are bright crimson colored, and are little and sour, and they pop them in their mouths and see how far they can spit the seeds.

I wouldn't mind if you took up all the space in the world here with your memories, I like hearing about them. :)

Quote DBA: "Wraith: It's never a good idea to drink from a downflowing stream, creek, river, etc.... even if otherwise clean, if there's a dead animal upstream in the water, you could get VERY sick. If you know the mouth of it, and have explored it recently, it should be ok."

We live near the mountain Peaks. About a 40 min drive away. So it's mostly mountain fresh water. Or was at that time. The water was so crystal clear and refreshing, it was actually better tasting than the well water we had. It was a simpler time where man was one with the earth. For me anyways. When this river used to flow alot, we all used to get our tire tubes and float down stream to the next lil village. Nowadays we have construction almost everywhere that I can think of. And I hate ORANGE barrels! Everytime I see an Orange Barrel I want to get out of my truck and proceed to bash it and kick it. Orange Barrels are polluting my creativity! Driving me crazy. Seriously. Plus, the river I once knew, is now just a sorry little stream that will probably get your shoes a little damp. Too many people moving into my home town, too many businesses ( Casinos ), Trees getting sick probably because of the Local Lab Experiments of Los Alamos. Just everything is going down hill.

I remember back then, spring time actually had flowers blooming, Butterflies, all that spring time cheer. Now all we get is Moths, Stinks bugs, WEEDS! And this last spring was very very cold!

I know the type of area you're talking about... animals still fall to their death upstream in places like that, and if they are diseased, you can still get very sick.
Go out and sprinkle seeds of flowers that butterflies like. Make it happen. If you don't know the kind of wildflowers butterflies favor that grow well in your area, memo me with with the area you are in exactly and I'll tell you how to do it. Hey, Ladybird Johnson died this week. :( I think she was 94.

I'm not sure what the deal is with the orange barrels, but if it isn't private property and nobody's looking, get a sledge hammer and bash away if it makes you feel better. :D
Wraith (Jul 22, 2007)
Hehehhe.. Thanks DBA. But I think I can do without Butterflies. I was just making a point how things are getting worse. Although I do live next to I-25. So it would be kinda cool to see a cloud of butterflies near it. :D

Thank you @_@ <3
And, um, her baton/wand is crooked because of one practice where the drum major was spinning his mace and... *ahem* XD
The invisible hair thing is just something seen in anime and I don't know why. I remember being on the phone with my friend back in middle school making fun of the see-though hair in the anime Slayers.
But the reason I left it like that was because I liked how I drew the eye and I didn't want to erase it. ^^;;
Sweetcell (Jul 17, 2007)
Ahhh, got it. I forgot to say you got a look of velvet in her costume. And I just love that face.
Now I want to hear more about the drum major. :D
Anna (Jul 18, 2007)
Just browsing through your work and I must say, I really enjoy looking at your art. Draw lots, pls! :-)
Wraith (Jul 22, 2007)
Very Nice Drawing. Looks sharp. Also I like your drawing style. I might just try sketching out something first before I draw it. Thanks for this Picture/tutorial! :D

He is beautiful...I like pretty much every aspect of your drawing :-)
Sweetcell (Jul 19, 2007)
You used Lascaux, omg you came over to the enemy. JK. XD

He's a lovely elf, actually has the feel of one with his silver hair. Scow makes pretty colors don't it?
Silvair (Jul 19, 2007)
Haha, thanks everyone! I kind of neglected the ears after I got frustrated with this XD. Let's just pretend that they uh.. magically disappear when you're looking...
@Sweetcell: Lmao, I'm being converted! I blame it on the web colours palette. I can totally see how some artists are able to consistently pick just the right colours. I'm such a space guzzler for Lascaux though.. a 300x300px headshot took up 1mb of space!
Wraith (Jul 22, 2007)
You have a cool style!

It finished well. I like the way the bg symbols sort of make this 3D looking..cool
OlFrozenTearslO (Jul 22, 2007)
Do the symbols spell something? ditto the cool symbols
PaintIt13lack (Jul 22, 2007)
some of the symbols spell stuff... but it wasn't till today did i realize i spelled one wrong :( o well!
Wraith (Jul 22, 2007)
I never liked Harley Quinn. I thought she was a bit too strange. Other than that opinion, I think you drew her pretty good :D

I'm just so tired
Won't you sing me to sleep
And fly through my dreams
So I can hitch a ride with you tonight
And get away from this place
Have a new name and face
I just ain't the same without you in my life

Late night drives, all alone in my car
I can't help but start
singin lines from all our favorite songs
and melodies in the air
singin' life just ain't fair
sometimes I still just can't believe you're gone

And I'm sure the view from heaven
beats the hell out of mine here
and if we all believe in heaven,
maybe we'll make it through one more year
down here

Feel your fire,
when its cold in my heart
and things just sorta start
Remindin' me of my last night with you
I only need one more day
just one more chance to say
I wish that I had gone up with you too

And I'm sure the view from heaven
beats the hell out of mine here
and if we all believe in heaven
maybe we'll make it through one more year
down here
you won't be comin' back
and I didn't get to say goodbye (goodbye)
I really wish I got to say goodbye

And I'm sure the view from heaven
beats the hell out of mine here
and if we all believe in heaven
Maybe we can make it through one more year
I hope that all is well in heaven
cuz I'm so...
Lost without you down here

You won't be coming back
and I didn't get to say goodbye (goodbye)
I really wish I got to say goodbye

**I need to finish the tree, then fix the white a little...then the black is going to hold some other scenes.
