This honestly looks like something I would see in a museum, or in a magazine. It looks so realistic. It's truly a masterpiece. It's beautiful and I agree with everyone else, the lighting is nothing but mesmerizing. Keep up the good work.

firecracker (Jun 24, 2009)

Your talent is beyond amazing "Bette".....this pic is definitely a masterpiece, and should be "showcased". :)

bette_davis_eyes (Jun 25, 2009)

you guys are so great! thanks to each and every one of you for leaving such wonderful comments! I'm so thrilled you liked it :D
and a special added thank you to the ones who mentioned showcase, that's awesome that you find it worthy of being there :)

Aubrey (Jun 25, 2009)

Yeah, should definitely be in the showcase. Future peoples should be able to come back easily and look at this one over and over again.

bette_davis_eyes (Jun 25, 2009)

thank you aubrey! that really means a lot to me :)

Miss_DJ (Jun 25, 2009)

This is definitely showcase stuff! Wow! It is so full of atmosphere, texture, lighting...just amazing!! It looks as if you're just standing right there in the room when you're looking at it! Incredible!

Flubbles (Jun 25, 2009)

Who gives a shit about showcase, it's just one or two peoples view on who and what should get in, and seeing some of the drawings they have in there they havent got a clue what there doing anyway.Great drawing bette, im liking those pots and the atmosphere etc.

Pantera (edited Jun 26, 2009)

lol Flubbs, this is a great piece, your talent is amazing miss Bette :)

xsi639 (Jun 26, 2009)

bette_davis_eyes (Jun 26, 2009)

thanks donna, flubbles, pantera and xsi639... such nice comments guys!

Sleepyhead (Jun 28, 2009)

Amazing good job, you have so much talent and skills and patience. Beautiful lighting, looks perfect.

Miss_DJ (Jun 28, 2009)

Well, Flubbles, the reason I said this should be showcase, because it is the 'creme' de la creme'....top of the line....ace...perfecto...best of the best!

enjoydotcom (Jun 28, 2009)

Flubbles is just flustered none of his drawings got showcased yet.

Bubblicious (Jun 28, 2009)

If I aimed to get a showcase I would work on something for hours, then give up and cry. O.o I just like drawing, although getting a showcase would be a nice treat :)

Flubbles (Jul 2, 2009)

Yea i lay awake each and every night wondering why none of my draiwngs have been showcased yet, then i think about what cereal im going to have in the morning! then i wake up have a poo then eat my chosen cereal.

Roytje (edited Aug 29, 2009)
