Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

I saw this on Free4u.com. It is a wall paper. I thought it was a cool concept so I wanted to give it a try.

Amazing! I know it can't be real but it certainly looks it . . . This would have been perfect for the contest last week.

somebody (Apr 4, 2008)

Thanks every body. I don't get on much to draw. Wish I would have had this ready for the contest. Oh well. It was a fun project.

You really did great making that glow elly, wow

elly (Apr 4, 2008)

Thanks, y'all. The light is the ONLY thing I like about this one. It's too sloppy for me. Not crisp enough. Oh well, back to the drawing board! LOL =)

QTgillie (Apr 4, 2008)

elly, this is wonderful. I think the free form shapes in this draw works well, the colors are wonderful as is the composition.

Holy Moly how did I miss this one. It does look just like a photograph - wow and it didn't take you very long to draw this either - man I'd love to have one ounce of your talent. I hope you get paid for your talent because you could make some serious cash.

KuteDymples (Apr 1, 2008)

Holy Moly is right! I don't know how I missed this either. Your colors are always so intense and beautiful. You have such great talent that anything and everything you draw is such a pleasure to look at.

Aakyra (Apr 1, 2008)

This is howcase material! Perfect and even better! That soft light flitering through the drawing is gorgeous!!! How very real this little creature looks! And the beautiful flower! Perfection Star!

This is nice, QT.
Keep trying the applet, the more you use it the more you will like it.
Starzshine & I can help, if you have any questions.

Nice to see how you practise with the different tools! I like the result :)

lovely colours

Quit 24 years ago and still Crave them.

QTgillie (Mar 28, 2008)

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...**

I Love this Masterpiece, Great work and talent.

Excellent job. I love all the different textures.

Xina54 (Mar 26, 2008)

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

KuteDymples (Mar 28, 2008)

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.
