It was summertime about 11 years ago.. Us kids had always had the chore of taking turns feeding Two Bits, our Irish Setter we had grown up with since the day we came home from the hospital. My dad had told me to go feed the dog and make sure she had water right before me and my sister were going to go get ready to go swimming. I didn't think it would hurt to wait a little bit, til we were ready, to go out and feed her. As we were getting ready we heard Dad's voice yelling down the hall. He was yelling at me for not checking on her and kept yelling Two Bits is dead. We all ran out the door and I walked up to her laying on the ground not breathing with her leash tangled around a stack of wood we had piled up beside her dog house. I said maybe she's not dead maybe we could wake her back up maybe it just happened we have to try. Mom and Dad both said it was too late, she couldn't reach her water that was by her doggy house.. she died of heat stroke. I took her leash off her collar and sat down with her while the others went in the house. Cradling her. I kept begging her to wake up and take a drink of water so she would be ok, but she never answered. All I could do was hold her. Everytime a fly landed on her I swatted it away and told them to get off her. That was the longest I have ever cried. I blame myself even to this day.. if I had just gone out 10 minutes before.. maybe I could have saved her.

That is really sad...I am so sorry....I just lost a pet a little while ago...so I know how you felt....

Scaramouche (Aug 20, 2004)

Thats so sad. :( You've captured the scene and your emotions soo well in the sketch. Dont blame yourself, these things happen and its nobody's fault.

Aubrey (Aug 20, 2004)

Thanks everybody for your kind comments and I'm sorry for those of you who cried and have lost pets too. It's one of the worst pains of loss I think. *group hug*

silvercoyote (Oct 10, 2004)

This is so sad... but I agree with "davincipoppalag", ten minutes probably wouldn't have made a difference, so it's not your fault.

I think I'll go hug my dog now...

Mara

Gigge (Jul 19, 2004)

This one is rife with symbolism. I read a description of the Latvian goddess Mara, http://www.angelfire.com/al2/LatvianStuff/Earth26waterdeities.html, and decided to to try to depict her. Some of the symbols like the skeleton representing death are obvious, some like the odd number of flowers signifying good tidings or benevolance are not unless you're familiar with Latvian culture. I've never seen any of the Latvian deities drawn, but this is how I imagined one would look.

wow, that's good!

purple_Llama (Aug 8, 2004)

Cool pic

Gigge (Aug 9, 2004)

Wow, thanks for the comments! I didn't think it would get any since it's a bit creepy and the subject is very esoteric.

My Neck-Bolts

Alex-Cooper (Oct 2, 2004)

I grew neck bolts a couple of days ago while I was sick. Robocop couldn't stop me from puking and fussing, no balls to be bustin' no fighting no cussing, just love for a drug called Robitussin.

Thanks all for the comments. but to address the second to last comment: how does one's picture get in the showcase? are there particular steps that are needed to be taken for this to happen?

marcello (Oct 4, 2004)

basically it's an elitist buddy-back-patting system which has no real relation to actual quality of art or an formal guidelines or process...
so to answer your question, no there aren't any particular steps.

Kasha (Oct 4, 2004)

AC gets my vote. *pats back* ;)

I have a feeling someone is going to take the comment seriously and make a big deal about it because they have no life and thus have to create drama online to make it interesting. JUST a premonition

anyways. Alex Cooper! I already commented on this in DA. Looks just like your ink drawings. You're doing so good on these programs :)

Alex-Cooper (Oct 4, 2004)

Thanks Kasha. And Marcello, pretty damn funny. Kind of reminds me of another art community. Wait a minute, that would be an accurate description of EVERY art community. Good thing this one wasn't made with a cookie cutter.

deviantart.com makes me want to smoke crack till poodles are funny and cut off my hands.

purple_Llama (Sep 28, 2004)

In a word-stunning.

davincipoppalag (Sep 28, 2004)

Another one I didnt see! And I would have been very upset if I had missed this! I love the way you built this and the way you see light.. wonderful.
