kejoco thanks for the support ;) -I m not very familiar with all this oekaki stuff so your explanations where also very usefull for me- it seems that it isnt possible to fake an online drawn oekaki -which is a good thing- Im so tired of all that photo overpaints and stuff
Its no problem doing such a quick doodle in that time- I would guess some people would be much faster than 17 mins =) References are a good thing- especially for practicing basics like anatomy etc- but personally I usually tell that in the describtion along with a link =) so no this doodle was just something that evolved from doing it

Any hey maybe he ment that in a friendly sarcastic way =) in either way I found it funny ;)

kejoco-You really shouldn't assume that he/she was in fact insulting Elleth. It's like Elleth said, it could have been a sarcastic way to say that it's really well done.

As for the picture, that's pretty impressive for the amount of time spent on it. I saw some of your other works too. It'll be nice having you around on the boards :).

Nothing about the post indicates sarcasm
And seeing how it is still the only comment or anything done by this user i still say it was done by a jealous person who already has another user name here.

I'm also free to assume anything that I want

now i want to live here reallt likin that fince

It feels really fresh and clean. =]

wow...so nice poppa. I adore lighthouses (we got married at one, ya know...Yaquina Head in Oregon) the fence is super! excellent job! I really like it.

That's comforting.

R, i like this alot, great work.

Thank you. Aging parents, passing generations, new emotions.

It is a little blurry, but the colors and composition are very nice.

I own a couple of kimonos; I find Japanese culture fascinating. I really like this picture, as is said concerning the composition and all. I don't really mind the lack of detail, it reflects the simplicity of ink paintings. I think, though, that it would be really effective if you maybe sharpened the lines defining the change between her back and the kimono, to really draw the eyes in.

Thank you everyone so much for the comments <3 I'm glad you noticed the kimono, I hated it as well but I left it as it was, I didn't want to make it look overdone but it could use a bit more work. And lycenee, thanks for your comment I'll think about that next time. ^^ <3

love the link.

I'm sorry. That was a generalized statement; not directed all at you.

Isn't that how all this got started in the first place?

nice rant. i agree. copying is a fine exercise as long as you credit the original photo. using your own voice is always a greater risk--which is why it's much more fun on all sides. in the fine art world, artists who do this sort of thing always add an indicator in the title. they'll say, "after ____insert artist's name". what gets me are those "pros" in galleries who blatantly lift another artist's style and call it their own.

What can I say, I'm a sucker for black-and-white. I really like the simplicity of this.

Aural mollusc...please.

very interesting, i like your approach to drawing.

One of the only ways to give form to the impossible.

Lots of comments on my little mousey. =D
Thanks ya all.

It's so cute! *spasms* This reminds me of certain doomed pets of my familys that eventually died of starvation. You know what I speak of. DOOM. Run away little rodent!

sooo cute
