firecracker (Aug 24, 2009)
This is "Ms Blubberbutt".......she escaped from my neighbor's dirty bathroom, and climbed over the fence.....into my yard.....I found her in my flower garden, sitting in my birdbath....so I threw a rope around her, and "hog-tied" her....and dragged her fat butt out of the birdbath, and threw her over the fence, back in my neighbor's yard, where she belongs...."lol".....my neighbor keeps her hidden away in a dirty bathroom, and she does look exactly like this.....hahahaaa!!! :D I'm gonna go ahead and "post" this as "finished".....I'm just too tired of this pic to work on it anymore, and I need to get it out of my "unfinished" draws, so I can work on doing another pic.....:) I can always go back and do more to it later.

Sometimes..i like to stand naked in front of my bathroon mirror just like this gal is doing..just to see what is going on you know..see if i can see in myself what others do...and i can tell ya..nothing keeps you humble like looking at yourself naked in the mirror for an hour...

I've thought about doing a brutally honest full frontal self portrait here, but I'm not there yet. I don't think I'm comfortable enough to absolutely not care and just do it.
backmagicwoman (Sep 2, 2009)
Yeah..that's a big step to take..I don't think i'll ever be there...

Hi "Bette".....thank you very much for your nice comment......I appreciate it.....and yes, I know that little toilet will never accomodate her big butt.....if she needs to "take a dump", she'll probably have to use the bathtub...."lol"! "MissDj".....yes....I think she is a "sumo" wrestler....haha! "Bmw"......when I was much younger, I could stand naked in front of a mirror.......but there's "no way" that I would do that now.....my skinny old body wants to stay "covered"....."LOL"! "Axil"....."Puh__leeze".....don't draw a full frontal self portrait here......I wouldn't want to see that....hahahaaa! Thank you all for commenting.....I appreciate your thoughts and opinions....whether they be "good or bad"...."lol"! :)

"LOL"......I have no idea what this pic is about....I saw the "ref" pic, and I thought it looked kinda strangely funny and cute. I think it's a "caricature" of someone....I don't know who this guy is supposed to be.....but I never drew a caricature type of draw before, so I thought I'd give it a try. Well....I'm posting this as finished......I fixed him up the best I could. I might add a little bit of "dodge" tool to put some light on him.....but maybe I won"t....haha! I tried not using the texture tool.....I did start to use it on the trees....but I tried to "blend" it out. I googled "Botero" to find out who he is.....this is supposed to be a "self portrait" of Botero....."LOL"!

LMAO..yeah flubadub..how bout that?
Flubbles (Aug 31, 2009)
I cant say im that keen...it looks like you draw one half of his body copied it then flipped it over to make it look cemetrical.Which is fine if your drawing a gingerbreadman...but not so much in this case.
backmagicwoman (Aug 31, 2009)
Ok..so what is the deal with the flag?
firecracker (Aug 31, 2009)
Well, flubadub.....this draw isn't supposed to be a realistic looking one......it's more of a satire, cartoonish, caricature type of draw.......it's ok if it looks like a gingerbread type draw....lol! I used the ref pic that Botero drew, and it looks very much like the original pic, except for his facial features.....I did a half ass job on that....haha!! I appreciate your criticism though......I know if you were to do this same draw....it would look perfect.....I'm not an artist....I'm still learning, and I have a lot of learning to do.....haha! :P Hi "BMW"......Thanks for commenting.....you want to know what the red flag means.....well.....I think you'll have to ask the original artist (Botero) why he put the flag there....but I'm glad it's there.....because I wouldn't want to draw what's hiding under that flag.....HaHa!!!! :D

"Incitatus" was the favorite horse of Roman Emperor "Caligula". Incitatus is a Latin word meaning "swift". "Incitatus" had a stable of marble, with an ivory manger, purple blankets, and a collar of precious stones. The horse was attended to by18 servants, and was fed oats mixed with gold flake. Caligula even procured him a wife.....a mare named "penelope". Caligula also planned to make his horse a "consul". "LOL"!! This horse is making me crazy......I hope I'll be able to finish him....haha! I'm posting this draw as "finished".....I'm so tired of working on this. I love horses, but this little "stallion" really drove me crazy......he just didn't want to look the way that I wanted him to look...."lol"!! So I'm done with him for now.....I might try working on him more later.....I'd like to make him look a little bit better. I didn't really want to put the collar on him.....but the "ref" pic has him wearing a collar of precious stones.....so I added it...haha. :)

amazing work,QT!! i agree with the others..lots of details, everything's great!
firecracker (Aug 18, 2009)
Hi "Gillie"! I know that you're a "Minnesota Vikings" fan.......well, I just heard on the news that "Bret Farve" has come out of retirement again, and signed with the "Vikings"......he'll be their quarterback. I'm just wonderin' what you think about that. :)
QTgillie (Sep 3, 2009)
FC....I have mixed emotions. What bothers me most, is the way they went about it. They played the public for several months....is he?, isn't he?, then announced definitely not.....and then the HOOPLA and the entourage and media blitz that now he is a MN Viking. The stores were inundated with #4 shirts immediately and that HAD to be totally planned. They bamboozled the fans and the fans are totally buying into it. Only proves that it is only a business and nothing else. I have a son that is totally into the Vikings....second year of season tickets. My daughter lives in AZ and she commented excuse the language...."wtf, I have to cheer for Favre now?" Oh well, we will all love it if he wins the SB and chastise the franchise if he doesn't.

I always love your sports draws, Gillie ... always packed with motion and emotion!

He could still be the same.
If he didn't get a second and third degree burn on his face and head.


Nice tribute QT.
QTgillie (Jul 16, 2009)
Yes, I know Luvvy, such a sad individual with incredible talent. Price of such fame I guess. Thanks!

He was a cute kid ... boy, what happened to him? Just watched "Thriller" last night ... one of the best vids ever :)

Riccir, it is in the beginner section. But It should be in intermediate.

That's what riccir said. :P Nice wolf, Vlad!
enjoydotcom (Jul 19, 2009)
Darn, Sorry Riccir. Sometimes I miss a word when reading. Sometimes crucial words like don't.

:P lol, thanks. This was originally supposed to be a quickie, hence beginner board, but I ended up spending more time on it.
