Texas longhorn cattle at sunset. We usually don't eat these...we butcher the black angus instead... they taste better, anyway. I think we keep them at our ranch mainly because my mother thinks they look pretty in the pasture and my nieces like to feed them range cubes.

Actually, I think this is one of the most interesting things you've done... I truly like it. If you look at it a little while it appears to be different than when you first glance at it. It's really cool.

LovelyLori (May 21, 2004)

well I'm glad ya like it, thanks ;)

laurael (May 21, 2004)

Omg...she's right, this is cool...the white around the ball kind of...pulsates...okay, maybe I'm just, tired? Wait...the shadow on the ball just shifted a bit...oh gawd...I'm losin' it...lol...

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.

Thanks calacores

Hi Hel, I love the work you are doing, you are really improving with your drawings. War sucks, and this one is a big f.. waste of lives.

asg101 (Jul 1, 2004)

Calacores, your knowledge of great music heartens me! Do you know of Phil Ochs works? Looking forward to hearing you on the phone again.

As far as the question posed by the title of the art. War is only good for the power elite that profit from it. Those that fight and die are never the ones that gain. "Good for the economy" is a fallacy. The only sector of the economy that get a bump is the arms manufacturers, and other providers of military equipment. Much more good would be provided to the economy if the same amount of money was put into education, or rebuilding OUR country's infrastructure. And if the resources were put into renewable energy, we would no longer have to colonize the Middle East. If you want to see the real face of the current war, go watch Fahrenheit 911.

I think this was based on a song: "WAR! Hoo! *music going* What is it good for? Absolutely NOTHING." I like that song.

Awesome pic, Icats...wow. Great description too...

wow thats so cool! omg i love the style

Zack (May 22, 2004)

Egads. Spooky. I like the pixellated effect on the light from the tunnel entrance, although it doesn't seem to complement the overall feel of the draw. This progression from version 1 was quite unexpected -- nice.

staci (edited May 23, 2004)

the pixellated effect was the lazy way to make it look like stones : )

thanks for the compliments all..i never feel like i say thank you enough *bow bow*

i just loved the name of this fish in national geographic, it rolls in a circle to imitate a jellyfish, which are unpallatable to its preditor....i gave him a little extra color....but his pose, makes him look like he's pouting.....lol

What an unusual subject... I did not know there was a fish that did that. Not only am I enjoying the great job you did depicting the fish, but...I learned something! lol

Fin_beast (May 21, 2004)

Looks like a fish we get in the UK. http://www.fishbase.org/images/Lelep_u0.jpg It's called a Cornish Sucker.

davincipoppalag (May 21, 2004)

Thank you everyone! Yes she is a beautiful dog :-D About the leg and tail.. the one leg is kinda hidden behind the other.. that's as much of it as i could see.. and the tail naturally is behind her legs. Yes I had to rush a bit cause I never knew when she'd move lol.

Atsever (Jun 4, 2004)
