i don't see it, and this doesn't belong here hun :) Little more effort in this and more shading and I'm sure it'll be wonderful!

I've decided I like this sort of thing better when other people do it.

very nicely done!

HunterKiller_ (Mar 27, 2006)

Yummy work.

Childlike_Vampire (Mar 29, 2006)

Oh I love this!! White on dark, what beautiful contrast! It looks like something that would be a flier for a show or something, ya know, "Tonight, The Local Band feat. The Out of Towners 18+ FIVE DOLLAR COVER"...lol. Great picture. :D

Yeap, for 3 hours and 40 minutes I stared at a picture of myself on the toilet.

Thank you for viewing.

very pretty! you caught the mood so nicely, and the colors are perfect.

Kloxboy (Mar 22, 2006)

That's excellent. I really like the style and the polish, well done. Looking through the versions was a pleasure, I love process. :)

JoeNobody (Mar 25, 2006)

this is very nice, is the gal on the left the same one from your piece "123"?

comd (Mar 25, 2006)

Thanks all. :) JoeNobody: no, she's someone else, but you know what they say about Asians! [JK - I'm part Asian myself] On the right is my sister and on the left is her friend in this picture.

terracotta (Mar 17, 2006)

Wanted to play with using a different tool than usual. This is all done with the pen tool on one setting (except for a plain fill BG and some airbrush to shade the stool). Trying for a pencil sketch look.

nobody (edited Mar 22, 2006)

axil, i specifically said, that i was not making a comment toward you, your marriage, or your cartoon. in fact, i mentioned abuse only in the instance that the advance was unwelcome. to accuse me of insulting her culture seems harsh, but i'll take it. wasn't intended as such. zack, i agree. my comment was a general reaction to the statement, despite the fact i knew it wasn't intended in that way.

i apologize for any harm done by my only semi-related thought.

Axil62 (Mar 22, 2006)

Oh ok, well that's fine then. :)

Gigandas (edited Mar 24, 2006)

"I like how the right side looks like she has a man back with a big dent in it! Like her man back side was in a big bar fight one night because this one guy took all the pretzels and one thing lead to another and ole' half man back thought she should get up and do something about it but then the other guy had a friend who usually doesn't come to that bar, no he usually goes to the 4 U lounge, but he went there this time and when ole' half man back stood up he knew he had to have his buddy's back... his buddy was a man so his whole back was a man back, not like this lady's back, but anyway, so he saw ole' half man back get up to do something about something an he slammed her upper right shoulder area with an extra 4 inch lead pipe he happened to be carrying around, not his good one that he had in his coat pocket for something else, but his extra one. So that's what I like about this picture when I look at it."

I'd just like to ask Zack one last question here. Is this what you call, 'formal criticism'? Of course, you could be referring to criticism given to terracotta by people besides Axil. But I'm pretty sure terracotta's posts were in response to Axil. Although, I haven't had 50 yrs of experience myself, I've never heard of giving criticism in 'tell-a-funny-story' form in any of my classes. And I can assure you, if that were the case, I wouldn't waste my money or time on such an unprofessional school.

Zack (Mar 24, 2006)

No. What I was agreeing with Axil about was the issue of sexual abuse re: his cartoon. His critique was informal and absurd. I do not consider the issue of the picture being finished relevant to an analysis of the motivation behind any critique, formal or informal, since critiques on finished pictures are just as legitimate as critiques on works-in-progress.

The absurdity of Axil's comment speaks for itself, and to imply that he was being meanspirited for pointing out flaws in a finished picture demonstrates to me a lack of understanding of the nature of artistic critique in a learning environment. That is to say, Axil may have been meanspirited in his comment (I can't tell), but that has nothing to do with the fact that he was criticizing a finished picture.

Mal (Mar 22, 2006)

Then Bob replies"No it isnt!"
and Harry gets cross and shouts "yes it is!" and nearly spills his pint
The camera cuts to the car park
engines roar and they race off

then they get arrested and blame each other
The End

Take a look at this...it might help...http://cellosoft.com/2draw/wiki/index.php/Lascaux_Sketch

kristine (Mar 23, 2006)

I read that wiki over and over and over, and i still dont get lascaux.

Opium (Mar 23, 2006)

amen kristine, amen....too many bells and whistles. Maybe when I have time/patience to work with lascuax, I'll try it. But then again, I look at artists like Gigandas, and his pictures look more stunning then some in lascaux, so he gives me hope!

davincipoppalag (Mar 23, 2006)

Now , see..that's how I feel when I look at Shi... I can't figure out how to do diddly with that...
