ok! I see the bottom right hand corner needs some tweeking and the pebbles, I think, need some shadow...but I didn't want to mess with the layers. They look like they are floating or something...Oh, and the little white pebble on the left resting on the larger rock, looks odd. What do you think.? I don't like that one lol

I meant to get rid of that little white one when I last worked on it. The shadows are actually easy and fun to do. I'll finish the detail on the BG and then we can work on shadows.

leading edge of the more prominent pebbles?...sorry, that's new to me...do you mean leading edge of the shadow?..thanks for being so patient with me!! heh!

got it

Oh... those rocks are wonderful. Nice job

I like the swirly sandstone or sand in the background...the contrast of that with the hard, precise rock shapes is very pleasing.

ooo nice you two!

This is lookin' great so far.......it reminds me of the artist known as "Starzshine"......I remember a draw that she did at "floatingginkgo".....it was sorta similar to this draw.....it was of pebbles and stones and seashells.....I think it won the "floatingginkgo award". I wonder whatever became of her....she's an awesome artist. Anyways.....I think this draw is looking great, and I'm sure that it will be totally awesome when you guys finish it.......:)

You guys are a good team! Nice work

I'm amazed at the perspective that y'all drew this in...gives me the feeling that I'm standing directly over these rocks and even almost looking between my feet to see the rocks at the bottom of the canvas! I see a nose in the sandstone along with a classic-Sunny-swirl (???) I once made pepples that looked much like these out of rolled fondant for a cake I made that looked like a 2 tiered deck once =) The cake took 1st place in a Father's Day cake competition =) GREAT job y'all!!!!

this lookso real I swear I could reach down and pick up some rocks and I love the colors

Jekyll and suntan sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

You're just jealous "flubadub".....you wish it was you sittin' in the tree, instead of jekyll....."lolz"!!! :P

Textures <3

Thanks! All the credit goes to Jekyll..he was very patient with me, as you can imagine, this being my first one. It took me 6 months to get back to those pebbles and it was fun. I enjoyed it. Thanks for the kind comments, everyone, except for bob who is an idiot.

I'm quite fond of you too.

It wasn't your first one, Suntan. It is your best one, though.

What! Even better than my penis party?

I don't like penis parties. Sorry.

lol, you're right..that one escaped me, I forgot..

I can imagine why.

;)

I'm deeply offended.

Ouch, Bob....she forgot.... Haha! But really, this picture is all about the cluster of stones and Suntan did 95 percent of them. She expressed an interest in trying realism and I think she pulled it off rather well. Suntan is well known for her speedy compositions so it was a kick to see her slow down a bit for this one. I'm very glad to have had a chance to work with her! Thank you for your comments, everybody, and Bob, you'll get over it....

When my dad was alive he used to work on a quarry, and he used to always bring me back cool looking stones for my rockery I had out in the back garden. This reminds me of the rockery I once cared for.

this is great, it looks so real :)

I don't want to speak for jekyll, but I will. We both thank you, bette. ;)

Yes, thank you, Bette! I just don't feel like I did all that much to this one. The timer says I spent 6 hours on this but most of that time was spent experimenting as I'm not all that familiar with Lascaux. I also tend to wander from my computer.....I wander a lot

I am soooooooooooooooooooo JEALOUS, this is this is such a beautiful artistic piece

It's beautiful you two.

Thank you, lynn and bmw. :)

this is so unique...job very well done

Really surprised it took you that long to say it, dave...thanks very much, and lori, too. :) I learned a lot on this. :)

This just stone cold rocks.

Oh, thanks, because I was between a rock and a hard place doing this. Was really hard.

Well of quarts it was hard. Don't take your skills for granite.

Ohhhh, I shale not, I pumice!

Well gold for you, lime glad then.

Oh, shist, I couldn't have done it without Jekyll. :)

Is this funny, ore what? Humite say it's good for a lava........ it slate

Hey suntan I think you're really coal are you shingle? and would you be free for dinner tonalite?

You're too slate, she's not for shale.

haha, yea shingle, not for shale.. thank you for the inovite, flub, I think urtite, too..but aren't you a stoner? ;p You guys rock..thanks for the fun ;)
