Here's the low down.....this is my Grandson, although I'm not really old enough (ok, it's possible at 45 yrs old) to have grandkids yet and I don't really have access to him and here's why...
I had a daughter when I was 17 yrs old but being so young myself, my best choice was adoption...and so the right parents were found, the papers were signed, and life went on....
In the year 2000, I discovered that my then 18 yr old daughter was beginning the process contacting me thru the adoption agency we used and on her 19th birthday, we were on the way home from picking her up at the Atlanta bus station...

Amazing picture elly and an amazing story. Thanks for sharing this with everyone and acknowledging God in the midst of all that has happened. Only He can provide such strength along with the artistic talent that He has so fully blessed you with. Keep them coming, please!

I'm glad to see other people sharing their stories here. I still have hopes that someday my daughter might be able to locate her son. He's probably married by now, and has kids of his own. Who knows....my daughter might be a "grandmother".......which would make me a "great grandmother".

That's amazing, elly. I like the high contrast!
I was adopted when I was six years old. The adoption agency spent two years trying to find my parents while I was in foster care but had no luck. When I was younger, not knowing who my real mom was constantly bothered me. Nowadays, it's not something I think about but I still want to know. I'd like to find her and ask her all these questions that need answers. I'd hope she could answer them for me. On the other hand, I might be better off not digging around for her. I guess I won't know until I cross that bridge.

I thought I recognized the artist for this one. Why are you not using Chibi?? Just kidding, this is great and reminds me we should have passed these out at work! Oh well, next year perhaps. Looking forward to a better year in 2010 than this past year :(

lol, OK! That is something else..very nice compliment, indeed. I just mentioned because I remember the monitor trouble you had once upon a time and wasn't sure. ...oh, and thought the left side was just a nice fade out of fur..very nice indeedyy!=D
elly (Mar 2, 2010)
Sunny, I'm impressed with your memory!!! I had a terrible monitor some time ago.....couldn't see half the stuff others were seeing (till I got my mac and went back to look thru my old draws... O_O) ewwww...lol! Thanks again my friend!

Cordelia_Pink (edited Jan 3, 2009)
That is so cute. Looks like that ape from Disney's Tarzan... no wait, or that show "Going Bananas" i think... haven't seen it in ages. anyhow, I love watching the animation for this. I truly admire your precision for detail and texture. I love doing realism but I find myself losing patience after an hour or so. Anyhow keep doing what you love, your technique is awesome. :D

fuck yeah
QTgillie (Apr 3, 2008)
this is very beautiful. The lighting, the style, the technique are reminiscent of Vermeer or one of the Renaissance artists. Exquisitly done!
I am not sure I get it either Dave, but I know I am way better at copying or having a model or something to look at than I am making the entire pic up in my own brain.

I'm a fan, man.

This is Dante' right? I did a full body picture of him on another Oekaki site, 5 hours painting, painting. Then the program decided to shit on it and I lost it. *sigh*

He's beautiful Un. Wonderfully done.

DANTE ROCKS!!!! I love Devil May Cry..they are among some of my favorite games..for those who don't know..I am a game maniac...lol

:"P ty for the compliments. I bet if I would've submitted this 4 years ago.. probly could've gotten Showcase. lol. I still think I did a great job on this too considering most things on this drawing, I picked up while I was working on it. I had no idea about hair. Clothing. and only a little bit of experience with digital art in whole, when I first started this. :"D I'm satisfied with the results none-the-less. Thanks again for your compliments and your advice, 2draw, I couldn't of done half as much of this without the support. :")

Thanks for your comment and for bringing this out of the studio again! One draw that I'm quite proud of! Patience must've been my friend that day =)

elly (Feb 26, 2010)
Thanks, mursku =) You should try it! It's not as hard as some might think...ya, maybe a little patience is required but that's a good thing to practice too!
