I watched a Discovery program that found an ancient and powerful African Kingdom that for a long time threatened Egyption dominion and at one point even RULED Eygypt for a few hundread years before the New reign of the Old Kings. The even more amazing thing about this story as it unfolded was the person who conquored Egypt and passed down the power was a WOMAN. Truth. She was equal in power to all the men and even went out on the campaigns. Could be the beggining of the stories of the Amazons since Greece was yet to become a superpower. Anyway, the woman they got to portray (in recreations) looked similar to this woman. She was powerful and held a strong bearing and quite quite regal.African Queen, she's beautiful Donna Jean. |

just a quick 'nightcap' draw to end a fine day. love, Dj
Sweetcell (Jun 14, 2006)
The early fish gets the dangling worm, and the patient fisherman gets his supper.And I so agree with you on modern art Hunter. Seems more production these days in the high end galleies than actual focus and meaning.
Miss_DJ (edited Jun 15, 2006)
it's so nice of all of you to stop by and comment. I appreciate all your input. As for wondering what the green blob is, it's a fish of sorts, nearing the surface of the water about ready to nab his lunch. Thank you for your compliments hunterkiller and poppa and you too, sweetcell, and I'm happy you find it interesting, artguy79! I love to just create and not concern myself about making things perfect. It's just the way I wanted it. thanks. ((hugs)) Donna ps as an aside...I know it takes MEGA talent to create realism and copy exactly what a photo might look like...and I bow low to those who know how to do that, but I had an art teacher say "why create something that already exists, make something of your own." That's what I like to do.

I am with you Miss DJ :)

I did this in pieces to explain how I do this to anyone that wants to know. I use many, many different colors and various size brushes to color the palette until I'm satisfied with how it looks. Then I use the difference tool and make any kind of lines I'd like to. Then I'll set the opacity and brush pressure at about 100, and use the desaturation setting. Then I 'carve' out the shapes that I'd like to accentuate. By using this setting, it tends to bring stuff forward, 3-d-ish. I'll choose the sharpness tool next, highlighting any parts I'd like to for sharpness and 'sparkle.' Finally, I'll grab the blur tool at full strength on opacity and brush pressure and make the background appear even further back, which makes the 'carved' objects appear that much closer. So, that's what I do. Not sure if that's a clear enough explanation, but since some of you wondered, I thought I'd let you know. I left the upper part of the draw alone to show you the difference of how it looked before I started playing with the different tools. ps...THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THE NICE BIRTHDAY WISHES! IT'S BEEN A LOVELY DAY!
Sweetcell (Jun 14, 2006)
Well I was right, you used the sharp tool and colored the piece first. :DThanks for the explanation Donna, I know there are a lot who'll appreciate it (me being one of them) Go find the present I made for you.

I enjoy the pallete, and the figure has a surrealistic flavour, which i also enjoy. =)

Everyone should have a tree of their very own. This one's for you, Poppa.
Sweetcell (edited Jun 10, 2006)
We have a tree, and through a particularly windy storm (we got the tail end of that Hurricane) one of the larger limbs broke and took out our powerline and phone line. We had neither for 3 days. Now it's dangerously close to breaking again if we get another bad storm. They're pretty if they're not too close to the house or new crucial lines. We're cutting that sucker down. I'm not worried though, all the streets up here are lined with trees. Lots of icky little canker worms and a bird doodood on me the other day. *sigh* Pretty picture as always Miss Donna.
Miss_DJ (Jun 10, 2006)
sigh...this tree wouldn't harm a fly Sweetcell...sorry you have a bad bad tree. Glad you like my sweet tree. :o) Hunter, I will have to draw you one.
davincipoppalag (Jun 10, 2006)
Even though you left yourself open to the obvious jokes about shrubberies and bushes..(I won't elaborate)... hehehe I love my tree!!! Thanks Donna~~~~ I know..(Every man should have a tree.. every woman should have a bush?) hehe ( can't help it..sorry...>>>skulks away....heheh
Miss_DJ (Jun 11, 2006)
Poppalag, I bet mommalag will scold you for that one...lol...but, ya know..heck, it's a 'given', ain't it? lololol |

A periwinkle bowl for Melanie, the best matron of honor ever! :o)
Sweetcell (Jun 6, 2006)
So is this what she'll be walking down the aisle with? Have to admit it'd be unique. Just joshing Donna, it's a pretty bowl of wedding fruit... I mean matron frui... I mean... It's a pretty bowl of fruit. Big day coming up.
