The pic is great! I like it.

That is the cutest bird I've ever seen. Good job. =)

This is wonderful! ^_^ Your bird is so cute! You're a great artist!

yeah, reeeeally interesting. I never could get it to do anything significant. This is pretty cool, though.

It kinda does look like a fingerprint. I can't see anything that sharpening tool does , I must be retarded. It never does a thing when I try it.

Yes, very interesting effects...it also sort of looks like two faces floating in water. :)

Poor thing is searching for his friend Blenny and doesn't know about the lesions yet.... this is very cool miss staci

Wahhhh! These are so funny... so this is the girl mudskipper's pimp, huh? HAH! These should have their own book, you know... when are they having children? I want to see what their babies look like.

is this how my brother looks these days? *g* these will go great in the bathroom

It's still a mystery to me cause I dunno who Brianna is lol. I like girl of course but also the background cause it has a sort of leafy look to it. Nice one Laurael :)

Shes pretty ;) She doesn't look so happy though.
Still an awesome drawing. Great colors.

Very pretty, I love the dress :)

Hehehe, funny to think he's flying with such a fragile looking cape XD.But man, I'd stay away from that guy, looks like he could stand quite a beating.The bird is great too with that face of his XDDD.Nice one, laurael :).Just wondering but is the green bird like his sidekick?XD

Naw...he was just flyin' along and got frightened by such a 'bigger' creature flying. That cape happens to be his 'recieving' (or baby) blanket. :) which is just for 'super hero' looks and security, btw. (He can actually fly without it)

lol, I thought he was always frightened to be his sidekick XDD.Must be a magical baby too to be able to fly without a cape.Even Superman needs a cape....well now this guy can show him off can't he ;)?

Yay! You finished. I like the way the sky emphasized the center spire. The pic really has a spiritual feel.

Very nice! I like the lights here and there.

This is great. One wonders what kind of society dwells in these spires.

This might help, or maybe not

I used these books to better my antomy skills as well better myself as an artist:
The Human Machine by George Briggman - a good book to learn the mechanics of anatomy
Dynamic Anatomy by Burne Hogarth - great book and Hogarth is one of the best
50 Secrets of Magic Craftmanship by Salvador Dali - aside from sounding kinda insane at times, it's a great book
Gray's Anatomy - this book is best for learning terms
Anatomy for the Artist by Jeno Barcsay - this has great drawings in it and another good term book
There are a few others I own but those I listed helped me most.
Of course, don't take my word for it. <some of you are old enough to get that joke, I hope, that line is right up there with "...and knowing is half the battle"

ohh yay! thanks Clox.

Kasha... you are a fucking lamer... :P This rox0rz.
The really soft lines and then the really dark ones really make it work.
Is there a reference or is that from your head? It better not be from your head. :B
I wish I had the style you have. *sigh* *stalks kasha*

I thought Lawrence Welk was around with all those bubbles. This is sort of Dali-esque, I like it.

... You've inspired me.

You really think so? Pretty gulls and water, anyway. :)

nice drawing :)

This is quite nice. I am partial to marine scenes. I would like this better with more sharpness and definition in the water, but it is a very nice picture.

is it phisteria..don't know if I spelled that right. The disease where fish turn up dead on the shore with lesions.

If this fish was from Europe and washed up in America, would that be a Foreign Lesion? (slaps self hard on the side of the head)

LOL at davinci, looks like a lure that snaged it's fin.
