Wow QT, this is awesome!

Hey QT! What an excellent peice of art! Very impressive!

Never started smoking, so quitting isn't an option I have to consider :D. Cool smoke-plume.

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...**

For some reason this sounds like a title of a song. I can hear an imperceptible tune with this title name.

Needles don't bother me. Fact (and I can see people cringing when reading this) I like watching as the tube fills up with blood. It's a morbid fascination to me. Must be part vampire, that explains my staying up so late and being so sensitive to the sun. 8}

haha, its not the needles that are so bothersome
i dont like the vein aspect...eeyeh.. i mean i can peirce anything without a thought but show me a vein and ill puke.

sweetcell, i think your so sensitive to the sun becuase you stay up so late.
you stay up so late becuase your addicted to the internet.

Hey guys - be thankful you're not on dialysis - I have to have huge needles three times a week . . .
great drawing - lost and lonely feel to it

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.

This is a really cool pic! Love the detail!

great one Wizz! how fun and precise with the details!

Excellent job. I love all the different textures.

Hey Starz - the sheen on the gold satin is just TOO real! the fringing, the bell, the embroidery on the face - all amazing.

Terry......I can't believe I missed commenting on this. I have looked at it so many times and I guess I was so engrossed in all of the detailing I thought I had commented. I love the whole draw, but my favorite part about it is the one piece of cording that comes down from the bell. I can't quit staring at it. It looks like you could reach right out and take it from the picture, seeing the side of it and the perfect details you have put into it. Wow! Masterpiece is quite the understatement for this. Mardi gras memorabilia has always taken me aback, and this would be a perfect addtion to all that I already have.

This is cool, Dave! Good job! ;o)

Thanks Gloria and Kath. it was just for fun

ay ay ay, once scary shark.. but aren't they all? well done!

looks great, and of course it wouldn't be spock with out live long and prosper!!!! great entry

thanks you guys.
(live long and prosper)

you got his steely stare - right on the money!

lol, funny one.

OP here: becuase wizzard, all things longer than they are wide are said to represent penises.
accourding to freud im just expressing my inner sexual desires.

duhhh.

Very nice! Reminds me of New Orleans!!!!!

I want to pack them all up and put them in a gumball machine.

love all the colors!
