I like how you made this an impressionistic which is kinda a blurr of everything at once where nothing is in focus

I defintaly love your color choice...those are my favorite colors!

Congratulations on second place Airin. I love pointilism myself and tried it here, it didn't work so well so I can understand the work that went into this.

Looking closely I never noticed the little angels. How wonderfully subtle.

Congratulations on placing second!!

Somebody put a voodoo hex on you? I have the cure for that. :)

voodoo only works if you believe it works.

Hey that's cool Cindy! I didn't know all that! I have two mesquite trees \o/

Y'know, I never commented on this, but I keep going back to it and staring at it for a bit. So I thought it deserved a comment.
I'm not a big commenter, but if something makes me say something out loud then I usually do comment. However, despite the fact that I had no vocal outbursts, I still really love this and I thought you should know that.

Leah, you're so funny... that made me laugh, really... *vocal outbursts...* lol

This is nicely done. Profiles can be hard but you did hers well. It's silly but I'm loving how you made the cloth near the armpit look likes it's not simply resting there but there's a space between the cloth and the skin. Very subtle and well done that.

Sweetcell, I had changed that spot, originally it looked terrible and it bothered me. I was happy with it too. :-) I have an easier time with profiles than the full face for some reason, I am trying one right now of Angelina and I can't get her face right to save my life. But I am not giving up, hopefully you will see that here soon as well. and Wittle Fawah, her hair was very hard, actually I believe I lightened it too much, but by the time I was done with it, I was afraid to change it anymore. Thank you both for your nice comments.

beautiful, love the highlighting in this one!

ew the whole guts conversation reminds me of when I had to disect a rat...and the intestines literally looked like top ramen...needless to say I never ate ramen again

I think they look fine, cuz if you made the guts more realistic I am not sure I would be able to hold down my lunch. I like you color use, very nice

Don'tcha hate when that happens? So hard to scoop them up again.

<laughs> awsome piccy. Reminds me of a scene from the new silent hill movie.

did I mention I have wood? Sorry, I really dig this piece. :}

boner boner boner boner rump!
boner boner boner boner rump!
boner boner boner boner rump!
boner boner boner boner !

For the record, I don't think it's advanced myself. The stupid thing makes you choose before you start, so I had to make a decision. Everyone's a critic.

They live in jars with no holes, silly Cindy.. if you put holes in the lid , they climb out and hide in your underwear drawer..

or in the foot of your bed...to really get rid of them you have to take them out into the sunlight, where the beautiful grass is swaying in the wind on a warm summer day

That looks like a nightmare, after eating Chile Cucumbers before going to bed.

Very purdy water and boat. The water looks like the crystal clear kind in the caribbean

Ya..no garbarge or sewage.. thanks Aubs

No tanking me poppa? :(

y u hate santa?
luv this pic its good :) feet are slightly small though...

I like Santa.

I don't hate santa, but I'm not crazy bout him either! I agree with you on the Crikey guy! He was a likeable doofus though. Good draw just the same.

I can see two faces. The Van Gough one, and a skull to the left.
Good job on this piece. I really dig the stroke texture.

After reading the comments and looking harder at this piece I can see Van Gough and the skull, and looking harder it seems like all kinds of skulls in different angles from profiles to head on shots can be seen. Really really interesting piece. And it's not an insult but I thought he was maybe a sasquatch passing a peaceful little village, that won't be so peacful anymore.

That's supreme.
