Let out the ARTIST in you!!!!

[Varenne Rodin]

Thank you Max! Thank you Veho! I wanted his eyes to look big, curious, and endearing. Puss is such a cute kitty. I really appreciate that comparison.

Lots of energy going on there Max! And the words fit the images too.

That's excellent Varenne! I like the big eyes and general cuteness of it.

I finally finished my monorail, though circular proved to be a real hassle, so it's more about a framed landscape:

[Varenne Rodin]

That's beautiful, Mystyry! It reminds me of one of the monos in The Dark Tower series. Gliding over a shimmering sea of colors. Very neat, and thanks for what you said about my dragon!

[MystyrMystyry]

Thankyou Var, and no worries - your dragon deserves even more praise!

I'm now working on a steamtrain and bridge spectacular, but I can't say how long it'll be, with all the other business I've got going on. It's perfect beach weather today and I've promised myself to hit the waves, so maybe It'll inspire a shoreline quickie with a pier

Thank you Max! Thank you Veho! I wanted his eyes to look big, curious, and endearing...

Welcome! And goal achieved!

Lots of energy going on there Max! And the words fit the images too.

Thanks Mystyr! I've been thinking about posting my humble text creation on the personal poetry section, although I still lack a title for the whole combo... I might anyway do it

I finally finished my monorail, though circular proved to be a real hassle, so it's more about a framed landscape:

That's really awesome... the colors give the scene a touch as of being set on another planet... maybe Jupiter or Saturn

Thankyou Var, and no worries - your dragon deserves even more praise!

Agreed!

Yeah, you do the beach hit first. The sea has a special inspiring magic

I've just finished the following birthday card for a friend who is a harpsichordist and Latinist, therefore the harpsichord and greeting in Latin:

[Beautifull]

Man, I keep disappearing for too long. Sorry guys...

An interesting concept form an interesting mind, Beau. It would be equally interesting to see how it further develops

Thanks! As always, I value your opinion.

Wow! What a magnificent cake! I couldn't have done better. I would have been ecstatic to have someone make me a cake like this.

Too much thinking may be right Beau, but what a great idea and execution! The raw black and white linework and vast blank distance between the figures that really gives it impact.

Thanks. I plan to put a background, but I can't think of any good background to put...will it stay blank??? GASP!

Beau, I really like your concept.

Thanks.

@ beautifuli - I think your concept is really very interesting, as if the past and future are looking at each other through the mirror of present.

Thanks! Yes, it's because I've been thinking too much of the past. And I also remember at one point in my life, I wondered and wanted to know so bad where I would end up. Too much thinking....grrr. lolz.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. :P

[MystyrMystyry]

That's cool Max - very fluid I like the informal slightly wonky font too.

I tried this, but I can't guess how you want the figures coloured (and also because you're the gradient master around here):




I admit it - I'm becoming a bit obsessed, but it isn't a problem (it isn't, honest!):

[Maximilianus]

Beau, the future is unset. We usually ignore where we'll end up. One year ago you could have hardly imagined you'd be doing what you're doing now, and nonetheless you're doing it. Let the river take you, but always wear a life jacket, in case you need to swim out of it

Mystyr, your abstract creativity knows no boundary, and the background to Beau's sketch looks appealing too

That's cool Max - very fluid I like the informal slightly wonky font too.

Fluid wonky thanks!

I keep wondering why I keep doing birthday cards for people I'd never get any sort of present from on the day of my own, but here's one I did for Sophie. I'm thinking the only justifiable reason is the sheer practice involved:

[MystyrMystyry]

A Surrealist Birthday Card!

I'd go with that Max. There seems to be a niche for them - the more surreal the better I reckon.

Hey, that's cool Ave!

Here's an alien cottage in the alien woods (true!)

.....

Max, first it's nuclear annihilation of "Charlotte" Bronte? and now rocket propelled sprites from a cake. In the words of Arte Johnson; "Verrry interesting..."

Some hand drawn work for a change. What mediums are you using?

Hey, that's cool Ave!

Hehe Nice MM. Is that a stump in the foreground?

Thanks Mystyr! I suppose surrealism has an attractiveness of its own, as well as alien cottages in alien woods

What you do has a very special touch, ave.

Thanks for the comment, Gilliatt! The missile's ultimate purpose was actually to avenge Charlotte; not to annihilate her And the sprite just wanted to come out of there!
