lemme see?

Absolutely breath-taking. i love the orange shade on the cloud. just wow, gorgeous.

Totally fascinating to watch build up, I feel like I have just seen a great movie :D

Just coming back to this, I know I'm a newbie and all, but this deserves showcase (and not just because it was a request of mine.)

I am flattered that you think so, and I'm glad you like it, but it really is lacking in most of the things I think make a piece worthy of the Showcase. I'm not going to tell you why, because I'd have to beat up my own picture (heh)... it'll be fine right here in my gallery. Just glad you like it. :)

Ok, you know best, but I see things like this, and that's what I think, just glad to enjoy them.

Great work, I love the variations in color from highlight to shadow.

i love this im gonna set it as my wallpaper

You've got some pretty amazing work. ^^ I hope to see more sooon~!! <3

Yea..that's how I recognized it.. I lived across the river in jersey..brother lived in Phila

giggling at the title. I think this composition deserves to march into hyperRealism. I could turn this into something that looks like a photograph for you in less than 20 hours. But you have to send me a Phila pretzel first.

should I send the mustard too?

Love this one.
a lot.
oh, and know this- my mom (a kindergarten teacher) asked me to print this one, to show the kids one artistic tree. :)
love the one with the rainbow too. optimistic.

thanks everyone. shults, I would be honored to hear what the class had to say. A neat project your Mom can try is giving the kids Elmer's type glue and colored tissue paper. Tear the tissue paper into shapes and glue it down onto white paper to create picture. The overlapping areas give mixed colors. (Hopefully that's not too advanced for kindergarten, it's been a while since I have been there).

I forgot to mention that I really like this

Joe, that project you mentioned for the kids was exactly what this reminded me of. I think I remember doing that in kindergarten

Thanks for that clarification. I don't like the picture at all myself, really, and that's not the point. I try to comply with the rules here, and I haven't broken any that I know of (intentionally, ever), but I WILL disagree when I disagree.

I wasn't referring to rules. I was referring to a sense of common decency.

My favorite perfume is "Indecence" by Givenchy, I wear it every day. Go figure.

he looks like Alan Alda.. is it?? xD hoit if it was lol

Very nice, I <3 Playboy, and my fathers tool shed........

Here's my ref http://www.nndb.com/people/413/000022347/ for this pic.

It's so simple, so loose, yet there's the true touch of realism, as much like impressionism. I'm getting to be a fan.

Thanks. I have my pressure sensitivity set to one notch below the highest pressure setting, but I guess that's just a personal preference, maybe I'm a little heavy handed and just need it that way.

I don't know if you noticed, but buddy doesnt have ears.

Woah...he's a cutie :PPP Very good drawing! Aye. Expanctulentaye! He looks sad becasue saddam was caught!

:O hurrah. nice finish, even though you do like peachy-o's.

p.s. my vote is for you simply for all the troubles shi painter gave you :P ill put in a good word with the judge ^_^

You guys can't see the animation? Well, he does come out of the arched doorway after a long day at his desk, walks across the street and into his apartment building. He takes the elevator to the top floor then climbs the one flight of stairs to the rooftop. There he has his watering can and lovingly tends to his flowers. After watering and removing some dry petals he stands at the edge of the rooftop for a while, watching the others in the city as they finish their days. As the sun drops behind the buildings in the west and the lights in the buildings begin to glow he heads back down the stairs and to the elevator. Hungry but not wanting to return to his apartment to face eating another microwaved supper, he leaves out the front door and goes around the corner to his favorite tavern where he orders a Belgian beer and eats pretzels from the bowl on the bar.

Oh. I was thinking more like a little round fat man toppled off the roof while watering the flowers, bounced a couple of times, and then got flattened by a steam roller.

that happens in episode two.
