I know I've seen an artist that has a very similar style but I can't think of who. Anyways from the title I'm getting the impression this is a close up of a wall plug but from the picture alone I'm seeing a very tall, thin building that's on fire and has smoke pouring out the top floor window. I'm also very tired and may be seeing things differently.

What an unusually usual subject. The soft warm lighting against the cold metal is a nice mix. I like this.

I hope you do finish . It's an interesting choice of subject matter, and I like it too.

Mmrwor. Great job, I love it. I've been thinking about doing something with that ref, too.

yeah totally great job...you got the mood down for sure. the only small thing i would hve added would be some bolder scratchy like marks on the pane of glass in front of the couple so they look more behind it. but woo for her hair

I'm working on this one now... I thought it was such a cool ref. Just dropped in to say I really like your interpretation of it.

seems the appropriate time for a drink.... walks outside, holds tongue out... wishes for rain.

god... want a walkie talkie... I think I could prob'ly understand morse code better than this..... ain't no ducks fallin' here, it's not even hot out. I'll take a nice chunk of hail... goodnight.

OK so I'm laughing again. Falling ducks. hehe hehehe

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. :)

this still makes me laugh... lol.... "It's AlIve...."!.... Mad science. I'm not as hyper as I seem, I'm just twisted.

weeeeelll. I like it

I like the way the body is so fleshy and the head is skull-like. Great contrast.

holy crap! you've been doing some great art lately Lori. and on a personal note I hope you are feeling as good as your art looks. 8)

Oh man, I love the colours and pose here. Her hands and face look a tad too blurry, but otherwise I love it. ;3

yeah.... imperfection is my trademark... but thank you all :)

This is really well done. I like not having the shading. It adds to the puzzle look. The two of them fit together like puzzle pieces and it takes a moment to puzzle out the angles. Very cool style, Pam.

This is very cool! no shading required.

Thanks lots! :D

true true.. lol

He misses his mommy (((NEeeCheee)))

hell, I miss his mommy too at this point... : /

Very lovely, somebody. :-) I really enjoy your art. Keep it up, you're doing great!

The colors are so bright. They jump out from the page. Very pretty.

Hehe. Unfortunate black lines. Hehe. Thats just what I thought.

Awwwwwwww this is lovely, you did a great job on this!! : )

Thanks miss Lucie!

This is so pretty. I want to go there. The water is so inviting.
