Lori... don't be so hard on yourself.. if you think something is impossible of course it'll overwhelm you everytime you try to face it. Fur is something that is really hard to do. Imagine, the Gerbil and Rabbit on the blockbuster commercials took over one million single strand hairs on each one to make them look real. In that respect none of these pictures can look "just LIKE" the photo. If you set impossible goals for how you want your picture to turn out you'll always be disappointed. I think you should be proud. It's a very nice picture of a squirrel. The contrast would come along nicely if only you set high, but realistic, goals for how you want it to turn out. Art is supposed to be a release from life and troubles and turmoil, not create it. Don't stress over a picture.. just relax, you're great :-D

this is as done as it's getting, I've already gotten extra space once.... thanks Aubrey, such nice words... I've always been a perfectionist, and get real irritated when something doesn't turn out how I want it to.... this little guy would've been better had I taken a different approach from the beginning, but oh well.... lately, I just feel like playing on here, doing things from my mind rather than a reference... and you wouldn't believe how many pics I've deleted recently! lol

I think he turned out quite nicely, Lori, and I totally understand the perfectionist frustration thing. I have been doing the same thing lately... working on stuff and then just deleting it. One of the first paintings I ever did in real oils I got so mad that I painted a huge black x on it and threw it on the floor. It felt wonderful. (But I was like 8 years old lol) I got in alot of trouble, though. :) And the next day I told my art teacher she was ugly and fat (well... she was, and she was mean to me, too) Sometimes you just have to let it go and do exactly that, draw and paint things that you like just because you like them, and don't worry about if anyone else is going to like it or not. Some of your best stuff will come out like that. Right now I am working on the weirdest picture I never thought I'd do.... just because it's a combination of some of my favorite stuff. Even if it doesn't turn out perfect I'm going to post it and be happy. You should be proud of your squirrel... he looks fat and happy to me. :)

thanks dba.. well put.... I hate getting so frustrated, and I try to tell myself not to give a damn about it... but it's kinda hard on this site, I want things to look just so for all who view it.....

I think it's surrealism, but I'm not sure.

Awesome-ness. I love this and the creek is cool. The face and ripped body rock.
I love the background, you have the most cool coloring style.

concannon (May 7, 2004)

The sun. The sun...thing, is what I love about this. Because of the clouds around it, it looks like it's either in a pit, or extending out on a stalk to get a better look at the character in the piece.

...er, yes. >> Great job.

I would say it is! lol This is great. To me.. the spirit things headed off into that light look like the soul leaving the earth..but they appear as sperm ready to start a new life in a different place... this is very evocative.. nice.

LovelyLori (May 7, 2004)

how mesmerizing! love the colors!

very impressive

concannon (edited May 23, 2003)

........wow. I originally thought it was a photo. Then hit myself upside the head, as a photo would not be on 2draw. Bravo.

Knockoff (May 5, 2004)

Wow, I love this, the hair has a lot of detail. Everything is great, cept the nose is sort of to round...

emmamommalag (May 5, 2004)

Samantha's nose might be round like that, though. I know people with noses just about like it. This is really good, kowst.

Moderator accountability

xwindflyer (edited May 2, 2004)

I think when Moderators move or delete art work, it should be publically posted as to who and, why the comment or work was deleted, or moved. They should be held accountable for their actions, and not remain behind the cloak of anonymity.

Oooooh, this thing made my heart do a hop-skippity-leap when I saw it. Takes alot to do that to me. I can see both versions perfectly, but v4 has some sort of a more eerie effect for me for some reason. One of your best lately, cloxbaby. :)

edit: It's got some really cool something going on, because my daughter's not easily affected either and it made her nauseated. :D good work.
