A nice tribute, but it looks unfinished.
QTgillie (Apr 12, 2008)
LOL Sweetcell, can you be more specific?
Sweetcell (Apr 13, 2008)
It looks like a preliminary sketch before working on the details.

edit: It still does not look quite like him but I hope at least one person would recognize. I will post the ref later on.

edit2: Here is the original... back when he was younger... so enjoy ;)

Are you kidding? It looks a lot like him in his younger days! I recognized him right of the bat! Awesome work there! I really think you captured his essence very well and I keep having to look at those dreamy eyes over and over....lol. Bravo!

Well, I can't be around losse women because Mrs. wizzard would surely cut my ard off. But I do love the casino. And yes I have been on two of these river boats, One on the Ohio river and the other in New Orleans, on the MISSISSIPPI River. It was very much fun.

I did this first at SF - I love how, with just a little shading, it becomes 3D.

Anyone considering quitting? It is a good thing!

Xina54 (Mar 28, 2008)
yes, I'm struggling with the nicotine monster. Tried to quit many times - sometimes stopping for long periods. I know I can when I really try, I must not want to quit badly enough at the moment. That's a sobering thought to see in print . . .
Great draw - reminds me of the old ads that got me started in the first place - looks so elegant and sophisticated.
Aakyra (Mar 28, 2008)
Hey QT! What an excellent peice of art! Very impressive!
enjoydotcom (Mar 28, 2008)
Never started smoking, so quitting isn't an option I have to consider :D. Cool smoke-plume.
elly (Mar 29, 2008)
WTG QT for posting this draw....Good for you!!! I'm sure a huge subject many can relate to!
If you're just starting out smoking as a teen, yeah, it's easy to quit now but wait 10 yrs or more and it's near impossible! I'm convinced "someone" has added "something" more to cigerettes that make them more addicting....
STARZ, I think I've heard of the med's you're talking about. My Dr has told me about them as an option (I'm still thinking about it). I think they run about $3 a dose. The plus side to it is you don't have to quit cold turkey, you just gradually like smoking less and less. I feel "my time to quit" is getting close...ugh. You'd think after 3 bouts of Pneumonia and several Bronchial infections this past winter that I'd either be dead, or quitting by now!!!! It would be truly amazing if I ever do quit that's for sure! My problem is that I enjoy it SO much I don't want to quit!!! (That's the "addicting additive" speaking). When I think about quitting, I smoke more....
My fav part of your draw, QT is actually the cigerette. Not because I smoke them either....LOL. Great job on the highlighting, shadow, and reflected light along the back side. The "cherry" and smoke are well done too! **applauds, bows to QT, scurries off to smoke...**

very nice Laura, this has just the right fade to the background so that your bird stands out. So glad you are getting the hang of the layers and how to use them, I know how you feel once you get used to them, you never want to go back! really nice work! three cheers from me!
QTgillie (Mar 28, 2008)
Thanks so much Starz for comments, your opinion always welcome!

Wow now that's some molten hot a**ed lava! love the glow to it! nice work Wiz, How about a tad of highlights on the mountain? I think it could use a few, like what you did on the water, just a touch to make the mountain appear a little more 3d would really set this one off! I really love this one great job!
Sweetcell (Mar 27, 2008)
Dianetics anyone? nooo stay away

Keep going Wiz, you're doin' well, you're doin' well.
