Snow fence! I remember my dad putting these up every winter to keep down the snow drifts in front of our house in windy Illinois...sure helped! This is great, Sunny!!

Damn cute :D

Suntan (Jan 2, 2010)

Great job, yes, very cute indeed. :D

LifeGotColour (Jan 2, 2010)

Nice, but...i wonder...what is Chibi-Bot good at?:P

The_Chosen (Jan 2, 2010)

well it's actually a chibi Optimal from Beast Wars series but it's just so cute no ref used so yea it's probably way off XD

Sorry for putting this pic in the advance board....but I couldn't "squeeze" this draw on a smaller board. This draw isn't quite finished yet.....I might change this horse into a "unicorn"......I'm gonna experiment with it , to see if I like this horse better as a horse, or as a unicorn...."lol"! :) I'm posting this as finished.....I'm not gonna try to change the horse into a unicorn....:)

I like it ..it looks nice..but as before..I think you rely too much on the texture tool..maybe you should experiment with making your own textures.

firecracker (Jan 24, 2010)

Hi "bmw"......thanks for commenting.....I'm glad you like the pic, and I do agree with you about my using the texture tool. I know I rely on it a lot......but I didn't use it very much in this draw.....I used the "scattering tool"....not the texture tool, to make those little spots on the horse....to make him look "dappled". I used the texture tool a little bit on the "trim" of the woman's dress, and a little bit on the rope that she is holding. I don't think I used texture anywhere else. I guess I don't really try to make my own textures because the texture tool is there for that purpose. That's why I don't understand why I get lots of "flack" about using this tool, when it's there for you to use...."lol"! What is the purpose of the texture tool if you're not supposed to use it??? Chibi paint doesn't have near as many texture tools like Oekaki Shi painter has. I used to have fun playing with all the different textures that Shi painter has. Anyways.....thanks "bmw" for commenting.....I do appreciate your comments and opinions and any criticism....whether it be good or bad...."lol"! I have so much to learn yet.....I don't know if I'll ever be able to feel like an artist.....I'm still just a "novice". I just deleted the last couple of draws that I was working on, and I'm about ready to delete another draw that I've been messing around with for the last few days.....I just can't get them to turn out the way I want them to.....so I don't want to "post" them. Thanks again!! :)

Flubbles (Jan 24, 2010)

I cant bring myself to delete a draw, i post pictures i dislike all the time.I just dont see the point in spending all that time on something and having nothing to show for it at the end.

firecracker (Jan 24, 2010)

Ya flubadub.....but most of the pics that you "post" are worth posting......if I had your talent and knowledge of art....I wouldn't delete any draws either. These last three draws of mine that I was working on are really not worth posting. Two of them I already deleted, and this third one I was trying to do a draw using a "ref" pic by an artist named "Mullan".....and I can't get this pic to look right.....I'm just so frustrated with working on it, and if I did post it.....you would probably say it "sucks"! "lol" :)

I'm allergic to chocolate, but this picture is awesome.

Bobstained (Mar 29, 2010)

Sometimes when I draw a pic it seems really easy, when everything just clicks.For some reason this was one of those times.

enirroc (Mar 29, 2010)

You've got a ridiculous amount of talent.

I almost ditched this one....I wasn't liking it at all! But, I decided to mess with some tiny details and I decided I like it enough to post at least. Maybe, 'MAYBE' my last draw of 2009 so that was motive for me too....Happy 2010, y'all =)

I agree with Flubbles. I'm proud of how well I did with it so far, but there's a lot of things that aren't right. The thing I notice most is the right side of the building that juts out: I made it a lot longer than it is in the reference picture. The left lower side isn't long enough, too, and other things are either too tall or too short, like where you can see inside up at the center of the building. I may try fixing those things... Maybe not. Don't know yet.

But I'm loving this! And thanks everyone for the comments!

Turned off anti aliasing and drawing those two lines down there made a mess! Internet Explorer 8. Maybe I should use Firefox instead.

Great finish, ChalkDust, very enjoyable work.

Miss_DJ (Dec 30, 2009)

your choice of color, composition and shading are just a joy to behold!

LifeGotColour (Jan 2, 2010)

i'm in love with your style... all your drawings express a lot of originality... beautiful!

Teapot (Dec 14, 2011)

Wow, I've never seen your work. This is gorgeous! Fun looking through your gallery.

Badly drawn political cartoon.

dorothyblueeyes (Dec 29, 2009)

"Whaddya mean,those are the DEMOCRATS?"says Medicare,as the stranger kills her,and Medicaid,and the Public Option(I just read,the govt.wants to do away with Medicaid long-term care?and make everyone get private,eventually.)Sorry for badly done art,badly drawn.yow.I hate this program!!I remember I never did like it much,now I know why.I'm spoiled by the others.

Sorry for political tirades,just ignore all this;in our state,Oregon,measures 66 and 67 are being voted on,so that anyone earning $250.a year(and corporations)will be taxed,to hold up the state's services.In a Depression,they want to drive out anyone who's not poor,(that's the upper middleclass)and any business that is still in Oregon.(we have very little industry,and business,cause none of them want to move to another Democrat's govt. and legislature,to be taxed to death,like California was.)We have less and less industry here,less jobs,and more Democrats and Liberal politicians and govt.And more poor people.You wanta see a "welfare state,"that's Oregon!!It's in peril of completely going bankrupt.color us California. Now I know why England went back to the hard-liners.You're completely ok to dissagree with me,we do not get sent to prison for our opinions,and I do not hate you.

Every time I see one of your paintings I get a bad feeling about the country. My current issue is..did Obama really wait four days before rising to this attempted airplane bombing? I kept saying noo, I've been busy, not much tv..must have missed something...looks like I did not. What is his problem?? I hate the fact that I have zero confidence in him. BLaH
Good art, dorothy. Always an entertaining and creative outlet.

dorothyblueeyes (Jan 4, 2010)

Thank you for the compliments.GA sounds ok,I should do that,if i could.Sorry about the bad feeling about the country,I guess it's not in good shape.uh..it's true,Obama waited 4days till rising to this airplane bombing thing?ugh.Did not know that.So he just ignored it?Wierd,makes me feel unsafe,too,I'm not taking airplanes anymore.(thanks for the tip,other person,who told me about "sumo paint".It's incredible.I'm amazed.Really wild website and software.Maybe I will wreak more havoc on that website,also,if they let me,heh heh.)

Purplemartin (Jan 20, 2010)

They are making massive cuts, even backdoor ones, and yes these are supposed to be the Democrats that supposely "help the poor". No both are in the back pocket of insurance companies. This is a great drawing that says it all!
