The Pink Poodle Cafe in Fort Worth
DeadlyBlondeArcher
(Mar 22, 2004)
I giggle every time I think about this. Several years ago, a friend of mine and I went dancing in Fort Worth, and afterwards we were just driving around and happened upon this cheesey place in the old part of town off the interestate called the Pink Poodle Cafe. I just had to check it out. It had these sticky old booths and those little juke box things at each one. It looked like all of the waitresses had raided the hair dye shelves at the Piggly Wiggly next door and I was surprised when any of them actually had teeth. There was some drunk old guy in a back booth who was loading quarters into the juke box and singing Amarillo by Morning at the top of his lungs. He kept falling out of the booth, and then he got up and walked his check. (well, walked, staggered) When the waitresses noticed they all took off running after him down the street... it was the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life - pink aprons flying.. (their huge hair, being glued down by many cans of Aquanet, did not budge) I laughed so hard I cried. It was just like a scene from those movies that are supposed to be about Texas and everyone is like that. :) (This was our waitress... and I have depicted her kindly. Hah!)

I have such a clear picture in my head of that scene and it's making me smile as I write this. I agree with DinoFlorist, you should draw her running after the drunk.

It's quite nice how each image looks like a cardboard cutout falling further and further away. Each image is 2d, but the whole thing is 3d. So, cheer up, cause it looks nice. |

Good job! I love the way you did the mountains.
davincipoppalag (Mar 26, 2004)
thanks...I liked the way the clouds came out on the mountains.. did that with a broad airbrush starting with a grayish white set to really thin opacity and then gradually increased the whiteness and reduced the brush size with increasing opacity then a few tweaks with the dodge and burn... seemed to work... |

Spyware is the devil; yet the devil must punish horrible spyware makers! Even Dante could not concieve the afflictions that await the inhabitants of the 55th inner circle of hell inside the devil's bowels. Just thinking about those horrid toolbars and desktop icons makes me so angry.
marcello (Mar 20, 2004)
heh, if you're plagued with spyware, a good part of it is your own fault. I haven't gotten any, myself...just don't use internet explorer (loads of exploits that automatically install that crap), only download programs from reliable places, and um...common sense? :) cool pic though, reminds me of freebsd.
two-na (Mar 20, 2004)
Very good use of textures, like the idea and the cartoonish feelmarcello: lol, freebsd! i was thinking it looked familiar then I read your comment : )
DinoFlorist (edited Mar 20, 2004)
I don't download really, ever! I use spybot like every other day. I do use internet explorer, but don't a lot of people? I wonder if everyone that uses it has a lot. Anyways, that doesn't change the fact that if I saw a spyware guy on the street I would kick him in the nads.

She goes in her trans levatates and he's been killed by a black man in the background as you can see and falls on her and the end......................hope you like!
tappie_chan (Mar 19, 2004)
ah. you are a fan of violence i see ^__^i think that if you added a forest BG, it would take the pic to the next level. the yellow detracts from its aesthetic value.
DinoFlorist (Mar 19, 2004)

I used a reference pic for this, of course I don't have these in my backyard. Umm, as a matter of fact, I jacked this magazine from the lobby of a place in Fort Worth the other day because I saw this picture and I couldn't bear to leave him. :) The photograph is so cute that it made me smile everytime I glanced at it while drawing this, and if I captured even half of his cuteness, you should smile, too.

What a beautiful animal!! I could have sworn I had commented on this long ago, but I guess not. This is really a beautiful drawing, love the way the bear is laying on the ice...so darn cute.

"In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade and he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame "I am leaving, I am leaving!" but the fighter still remains...." ~ Simon and Garfunkle (another favorite)

You didn't ruin it. You overworked it a little. I know what you do... it reaches a point where it's great, but you don't see it yet, you look at it and think, but... it could be better if I just do this, and that, and pretty soon...you start to become frustrated and it's overworked. I actually still like v.2 the best. But I understand you, and I like you, and I like your art, and I like all the versions.
dixielandcutie (Mar 19, 2004)
well said dba, lol. and this new version is very cool. i like the silveryish coloring better! awesomeness axil
Porcelain (Mar 22, 2004)
That's wonderful. As I was scanning through the Advanced Art and carefully (or rather, nonchalantly) criticizing each one, I stumbled upon yours. Truly wonderful, Axil -- I always admire your art. You have an amazing style -- Reminds me of Van Gogh (the circles compared to his wavy lines).
shell (Mar 1, 2011)
wow impressive, another one I wouldn't have recognized as yours had I not known |
