He has a nice smile, too. Good job, Gigge.

Very nice job on the hair and the skin tones.

Ok...new agreement. You harrass me since you're not capable of much else and I'll still ignore you. Have at it.

Those are the cutest puppies, Gigge. Such a sweet pose.

Ok ready set go...

so what is it Gigge? an elephant, right? I love them, hehe, took a ride on one with my son when he was smaller :D I love the animal shows that they talk about elephants on... how they remember their friends and family, if they're separated or whatever... they can get back together after years and the way they act seems proof that they never forgot each other. so sweet :)... they also mourn their lost ones much the way people do... hehe... we also call my mother elephant ears... she's an avid eavesdropper.

This is beatiful Gigge. The emotional intelligence you can see in an elephant's eye is there. YOu did great.

Lori: Yup, an elephant.. The reference is called "elephant closeup" . ;) I like them. I think their whole social system is amazing, especially the elephant graveyards.

Anna: Using a reference is like following directions to me. No matter what my intentions are or how hard I try, I can't do it. So kind of you to see my flaw as an asset.

silver maiden: Be careful what you name her. She might take offense at being called a he. ;)

Thanks everyone for the kind words. :)

Wonderful job on this Gigge

Very nice, Gigge. Kojack and his tootsie pops.

i like this a lot, the blending, the light...most of all the look in his eyes, maybe cause i grow up watching kojak, thanks for the memories :)

Great job on the wrinkles and the hat! Good one Gigge

This looks incredibly cool...great job gigge

That's excellent.. thanks kejoco for bringing this up.. don't know how I missed it.

Indeed, yes! Gorgeous hair, it is.

This is a really good job with the hair! Very very nice.

I like your choice of colors for this, they look really good together. Nice work Gigge.

Lol at the lettuce and bananas remark!
I am so glad that you came back here...I, for one have missed you.
Great pic and the colors...well, the colors are just so bright and wonderful! I love the colors you used, I really do. :)

Very beautiful colors. What a cool dragon.

I love the vibrant colors, and the chinese dragon is really well done. I'd imagine that's what one of those would look like if i saw it in person in China during one of their parades. You are an amazing artist Gigge.

oh wow... this is a great picture...

That's some nice, dark skin tone going on here. It really brings out those stones, which, btw, you did a fabulous job on.

THis is a really nice piece of work Gigge. I love how you made the stones,they look so real, and the tones and shading of the neck is amazing, it looks so realistic. :) Nice work. I think this is my favorite one of all of your drawings.

She's supposed to look serene. She was also supposed to have hair and a scalp, but I couldn't swing that.

cool. I like it. :}>

This looks like I feel after having been here for hours...:P Interesting pic and nice shading.

Wonderfully pretty, Gigge...missed your work. Glad you came back. :)

Beautiful opalescent feathers they have... such proud creatures, and you did a great job on this. Glad to see you drawing here again. :)

so real O_O but his legs could be better
