    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.

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

    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!

    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

    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

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

    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:

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

    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
    Find your dream and stick with it...or your life will have slipped past in a whisper with you still on the bottom.

    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!):

    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

    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:

    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.

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

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

    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!
