Saw this work of art first hand.........notice the poot and the frown on the blob next to the pooter.......when I asked her what it (poot) said, she said mommy.......Hmmmmmm. Out of the mouths of babes.....

Oh my. Are you saying I'm a poot. hehe. No, wait, I think it was my daughter. Oh dear

Which one drew it? It's cute she included her brother (poot). Tell them I said hello and I love them.

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. :)

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

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.

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.

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

i dunno, they´re speaking in tongues...

hehe.... lucky you (your ear is happy though... so it can't be all that bad)

Miss your work, hope you are ok there..

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 :)

Yea staci's tutorial is great.. Ill keep practicing..

Danny hit it right... Just darken up the base color a little more and there ya have it :-) This is pretty good, pops!

Does look really nice Poppa. Hair's always been hard for me.

That is so sad :( But I love the DARK bird and the background is colored....very nice

... but does it happen by the thousands?

I saw this and thought something was drawn this week and showcased. wild.

really pretty, yet morbid.
