Shanghai (Oct 1, 2005)
The Cat only grinned when it saw Alice. It looked good- natured, she thought: still it had VERY long claws and a great many teeth, so she felt that it ought to be treated with respect.

`Cheshire Puss,' she began, rather timidly, as she did not at all know whether it would like the name: however, it only grinned a little wider. `Come, it's pleased so far,' thought Alice, and she went on. `Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'

`That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.

`I don't much care where--' said Alice.

`Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.

`--so long as I get SOMEWHERE,' Alice added as an explanation.

`Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Cat, `if you only walk long enough.'

Alice felt that this could not be denied, so she tried another question. `What sort of people live about here?'

`In THAT direction,' the Cat said, waving its right paw round, `lives a Hatter: and in THAT direction,' waving the other paw, `lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad.'

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.

`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'

`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.

`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

Alice didn't think that proved it at all; however, she went on `And how do you know that you're mad?'

`To begin with,' said the Cat, `a dog's not mad. You grant that?'

`I suppose so,' said Alice.

`Well, then,' the Cat went on, `you see, a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad.'

`I call it purring, not growling,' said Alice.

`Call it what you like,' said the Cat.

I love the colors you used! Alice's dress is lovely.
I read that book a long time ago and I've decide now that I need to read it again. :3

After seeing my puff balls die I was angry with the spiders and thought I could make a nightmarish spider-eating puff ball with lasers for eyes, life draining tenticles for legs, and a thirst for revenge, but then I remembered what happens to creatures that eat all their food source without a population control- they starve.I then noticed that the herds of bunnies were already surviving here, even if they were occasionally blown up or eaten by alligators, trees, callypso's creature, etc. I decided that a bunny who could defend itself from these dangers would be well equiped to survive and to do that they needed the intelligence to understand them. That's when the bunnies began training in the ways of war...

Awww...I wanna hug him XD But I'll get stabbed if I get close. Anyways, this is awesome. Your coloring is always pleasing to the eyes. And I hate time zones. They always somehow confuse me.

This is for 15grifficorntears. I wanted to make something much better than the first one of these fish I made, partly for her and partly so I'd feel like I was improving.

Shanghai (Sep 1, 2005)

I wasn't satisfied with the last version at all. It reminded me too much of how I used to draw a couple years ago and made me feel like I hadn't really improved any. This one is better, I think.

Why is he in the snow? It seemed like a good idea at the time...

*months later* I'm done! @_@

Too tired to do anything more right now. I think I'm getting carried away with the snow, but I like the look of it.

This is one of many ideas I've been trying to come up with lately to make a tree-based community that includes large, tall trees, a sense of fantasy, and still gives them enough horizontal space to walk around on and doesn't put them so high up that the force of wind blowing them off the tree would be a risk. Also the higher up on a tree you are the more the tree will sway in the wind, and I don't want them to get motion sickness everytime the wind blows.

This is an old fox character of mine. I'm very interested in iconic styles of art.

There probably won't be many people interested in this next part, but just so you know I'll say it anyways. During character design and developement I kept slowly changing parts of her personality, name, apperance, etc., until she became my character Rin, probably my most used character in art/games. Since the end result of Rin is different enough from the original design I was able to remake Reiko as a seperate character on her own, and since she was the predecessor to Rin I just call Reiko her mom.

It would be nice if you drew her in a humanoid form, hehehe... sexy and revealing. Great colouring! <:D

Shanghai (May 25, 2005)
A few of my characters, mostly just reiko and rin actually, have humaniod forms and how they switch I was going to explain with another drawing at least a month ago but I got tired of the drawing and deleted it before ever taking its status out of being hidden. I'm going to make it again though at some point.
Kenshin (May 26, 2005)
That rocks :O The tails and the wings are my favorite part. Your painty cool style is neat-O XD

This is just a seedling of a giant tree. At full size they can be used to support entire towns of tree dwelling peoples.

I'll finish it later, but wanted to show an unfinished version first. Don't worry, it'll be cool when it's done.

I tried a new way of coloring I just made up as I went. I think I'll make a certain other drawing in this same style.

This octopus-like creature lives in dreams. It was created by dreams and once it had enough mass could begin molding and shaping the dreams around it.


The idea is that when we create something we draw upon all our past experience. It came out of my imagination and past experience, gained mass by the light produced by your screen, and affected you by adding to your lived experience, making it real enough to have influence. Just like parts of it are affected by my own experience, now parts of future works will be affected by this one.

heh, nice picture. lovely cloudly effect. looks a bit liek a painting you might find in a childrens book or on a Magic the Gathering card, like fin Beast said. :D
HunterKiller_ (edited May 4, 2005)
Summon? lol when was the last time you touched Magic, buddy?
Hmmm... i'm thinking
Dream Octopus (X)(X)(U)(U)
Creature - Cephalid
When Dream Octupus comes into play, remove (X) target non-land permanents from play.
Dream Octupus has power and toughness each equal to the number of permanets removed this way.
*/*+1
^.^
EDIT: What the... what happened to the message above mine?
Animegirl250 (May 5, 2005)
