This looks like the kind of sunset sky you get on a day when it has been storming all day, and clears just at the sun is setting..brilliant red orange.

Cute idea, Bell. Looks like she's tried and tried and just can't get it right. Pretty hair! :)

She looks like I did after I lost one pic, then the re-do to transmission errors during submission! Nice picture Bell.

should have done this before, but just to make sure nobody thinks this is a terrorist or that i am a terrorist sympathizer...this should put the painting into perspective a little bit
this is a quote, an excerpt from an essay by insurgent subcomandante marcos of the Zapatistas released in 94

"The oldest of the old in the Indigenous communities say that there once was a man named Zapata who rose up with his people and sang out, "Land and Freedom!" These old campesinos say that Zapata didn't die, that he must return. These old campesinos also say that the wind and the rain and the sun tell the campesinos when to cultivate the land, when to plant and when to harvest. They say that hope is also planted and harvested. They also say that the wind and the rain and the sun are now saying something different: that with so much poverty, the time has come to harvest rebellion instead of death. That is what the old campesinos say. The powerful don't hear; they can't hear, they are deafened by the brutality that the Empire shouts in their ears. 'Zapata,' insists the wind, the wind from below, our wind."

Great piece. I watched the animation. You wiped out a background guy. The gun must have backfired.

This picture makes me feel very uneasy. It's scary how it makes you feel like you are being threatened.
I really like this picture and it's one picture that I think should have a place in the showcase.
I may try something like this, to try and get the same effect.

Lovely picture... Wish I could draw that well...

Wow, very realistic drawing, the focus on the firearm makes it so great.
Oh and I saw the decapitation video on a website, without any censoring.

Yet another one I missed. I dunno how. Must be blind or something but CAN'T be if I can see how purdy this is :) All those lil details in the flowers are really pretty and I like how they just trail off along with the mountains ((((poppadarlin)))))

EverDream (Jul 11, 2004)

Reminds me of something you'd find on cards in art stores or galleries or some sort of strange nick-nack place. Very nicely done, love your painterly technique. :D

hippogryph hat warrior

DinoFlorist (Jul 17, 2004)

I started with the eyes on top and then I was going to make it an eagle, but then I got bored of that so I decided to make a man underneath wearing the eagle as a hat. I figured that had some sort of historical reference to Mayans, Inca, or Aztecs (but I don't know which), but then I decided I didn't feel like that either. So, I outfitted him with traditional Robin Hood attire, and gave him a caucasion complexion. Then for fun I added extra horns. Thats what makes it look like a hippogryph hat.

Great picture and I loved reading how it came about almost as much as the picture itself. :)

davincipoppalag (Jul 18, 2004)

This looks like an illustration from a novel about vikings. This is completely different in style than your others. I like this .

staci (Jul 18, 2004)

this is a great colorful rendition of a caucasian wearing a eagle hat..but is his spear tucked behind his ear?
thats amazing

DinoFlorist (Jul 18, 2004)

actually its going through his head, killing him instantly. I just have problems drawing things with any sort of perspective or logical relation.
