Wow, nice effects. =]

You know the first thing that came to mind? It looks like raptor's claws ... or is it just me? Raptor's claws sticking through a mesh screen! I shink I need nuther schot of tequeeela .... *hic* ("vlad the hamster" is the funniest screen name!) All kidding aside, I agree with Fuzzy ... this is some cool stuff :)

i like this one very much Xina. Nice to see you do some other colors, all though I love the purple and blues together also.

SAve some for later Cam!!!!

Lols I missed being here..
Great job and thanks for the comment.

Yeah for boobs! xP

defintly intrresting werks

Lol, it's worth $8 billion at least. :p

whoa!! in the thumbnail version, I swear I thought there were deers and squirrels jumping on a bed of flowers in the meadows. iiiiiinteresting.

this is truely awesome!!! love... love... love it!!! =)

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

cool stuff

Wonderful work. :)

So real looking! Right down to the tiny hairs!.....and oh those wings are so delicate looking!

haha that's cute. reminds me of the movie i saw last month: "The Bee Movie"

Amazing image in so short a time Lori.

Nice draw Lori! Hands are so hard.

ooo very Hitchcocky, Rear Window, or even better, from Bewitched, Mrs. Cravits stealing a looksy at the neighbors! cool draw.

I like this but it looks unfinished. The scribbly lines (especially on the face) look like a preliminary sketch and the thing looks imcomplete.

Sweetcell...thanks for the critique but the scribble lines are very close to the ref. pic, did you look at it?

love this Laura, I may have this same lady, but with a different pose. I just love the Carnivale of Venice, and I have tons of pics that I want to do when I get brave enough, lol. Some are quite intricate and I may just do them a bit at a time. Love the colors and the playfulness this has. One day I would love to go and witness this festival for myself. ah one can only dream, in the meantime we can draw and paint and make us believe we are there...:D

VEry pretty drawing.. parts of Ohio got 16+ inches of snow today Aieeee

Wish you'd work more on the ground, and I can't see where the eye is. Still pretty.

Sorry Sweetcell....this is staying as is, it is as it was intended. I had the ground exactly as the ref pic was and decided I did not like it, and I changed it to this contrast from the photo.....I happen to like the bird realistic and the ground more sketchy....thanks anyway!

looks good enough to eat! love cherries, even the sour ones, love cherry pie, awesome work jp as always so rich and expressive!

Great minds think alike *G* I have a bowl of cherries as my icon now at FU that I drew here but is unfinished.
Of course our styles differ as always *S* well done.

awesome

Thanks, Kathy! =)

I love wolves, they're so beautiful and so is this. My fave of yours by far. Well done Elly.

Elly I had a Malamute timber wolve mix. His name was Maxx, he had one brown eye and one blue eye, he was the nuttiest dog I ever owned, he thought he was a person. He would sit on our couch with his hiney on the seat and his front paws on the floor. He was that big. He wasn't as tall as a great dane, but he was really long in the torso/abdomen like timber wolves are. When he stood on his hind legs he could put his forepaws on my husband's shoulders and rest his head on my husband's. He is 5'9. When he got to be about 6 months old we were awakened at night with the most unearthly sound, it gave us the willies, and we went to see what it was. It was our Maxx learning to do his wolf howl, omg, it was so funny but really creepy at the same time, lol. He loved to howl for the ladies, for sure. We unfortunately had to give him away when we moved from out of the country because he was too big and too wild. He loved to run and he did hunt. He weighed about 150lbs. He was a big dog, but your pic reminds me so much of him, if your pic had a right blue eye. Thanks for the memories...I miss the crazy boy. He has probably passed on though. His sister was owned by my sister's inlaws they had her till she was 17. An incredible age for a dog.
