didnt israel not exist until like.. 1947?

1948, but that's just the state, not the land of Israel. There were residents before, under the
Ottoman Empire (until 1917).

YAH, iSRAEL is ancient. beautiful, shults. really like it. :)

It's Dexter Fletcher.

Delicious.

thanks you silly willy's

Happy Turkey Day to you too!

you won't believe what I did to mine: somebody bought me a 22 pound turkey. I cut it up in a sterilized sink, with a sharp knife, like a chicken into different pieces; I put it in a large pan, covered it with red wine up to its neck, and put chopped onions and garlic in; and after a while, at 325°, I added chopped up, two fat tangerines, and their skin; I cooked it a little too long. But mostly it came out divine! I had the most fantastic onion soup flavored with red wine, with a hint of orange, and no alcohol. All the alcohol got cooked out, and all the wonderful red wine flavor was left in the flesh. It really did please me, I can still cook. Turkey a vin. And it was fun, but I hurt my back. Ha ha.

Yummeh! :)

Amazing!!

Above excellence.

So delicious. I can't stop marveling at how beautiful the skin and eyes are. And the mouth! That nose...and the shadows. This should be in the Showcase.

beautiful work.

One of the best.

nice to see this out again, yes. yes. :)

That's interesting! Honestly everything about this guy besides his little dent kinda freaks me out.

Fantastic portrait.

I am an infant when it comes to my drawings... I am also brand new on this site, but I was browsing around and came upon this drawing and I have to say, I really found myself drawn to him... I love his blue eyes. ( I always notice peoples eyes before anything else)! I didn't even notice the "comb over" you mentioned! but what really made me like him was his eyebrows!

You are an extremely talented artist. One, you obviously have all of the proportions correct and all of the fundamentals down pat... But mainly because you have the ability to give them life. You bring out emotion in the people you draw and I truly admire that in an artist! I've enjoyed looking at your art and will continue to study it as I search for my own style.

beautiful androgyny

Is it eaten?

Fuck, I knew I should have low balled him starting at $20.

I like Staci's idea, something more like Daily Deviations would be cool. The whole 'like and dislike button system' seems like it would be counterproductive because it allows people to judge anonymously and without explanation, making the showcase purely a popularity contest (opposed to a place to display the sites more skillful or innovative or interesting digital art). And yes, judging things like this would be subjective but could be relatively objective if there was some loose criteria to be met that we all agreed on (I mean, don't most prominent and respected award systems work in such a way?).

Thinking about it now I think there are pretty solid reasons a lot of pieces were showcases like this one. There was a collective evolution of skill as 2draw developed from when I joined in 2004. There seemed to be a point where the bar was raised weekly for a few years and then we got to now where it has kind of gone stagnant. We are left to look at the current content as a whole and maybe a lot doesn't fit, but when it was showcased it was amazing, inspiring, or whatever at the time it as created.

I like the background and hair as well.. but I hate the blocks oekaki-shi makes sometimes..

yep, the background goes well as part of the picture; very nice.

Fabulous work! So real!!!
