Artist's Comments

WOW I have been abusing you all over here and I apologize sincerely. I have been redoink busy with school which is, by the way, 100 MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN LAST YEAR.

This was the result of my assignment in illustration with Fred Lynch (my hero): "illustrate the word lost."
well...this is what i came up with. Watercolor on paper, and it took WAY longer than i would like to admit (i'd never done watercolor before.)

I'm hoping to get back on the deviantart horse, what a letdown after my extreme art-making summer! I will be making more of an effort; i have missed all of you.

P.S. If you know anything about livejournal formatting, PLEASE drop me a line over here [link]
I am trying to make this my banner. Thanks!

Wow, I really like this. Awesome concept, and the watercolors look amazing and absolutely professional. Great job! :]

I love this to death - so creative!
Especially how you cut off the top of the giraffe. Cows are so short...
Hope to see more from you super soon!

Very cool, very professional looking. I love the one cow who's looking at the giraffe kinda like "what's that guy doing here?" It's funny. =)

Lulz, look at that. Love the concept of a giraffe out in the cow fields. :XD:

you know it actually took me a little while to find the giraffe....i'm pretty slow tonight. XD

the cows and the giraffe look *awesome*. very natural and pretty colors :) What kind of pen did you ink them with? This picture makes me want to do one in a similar style (even though i have no watercolors where i'm living right now XD)

i'm GLAD it took you a second to find the giraffe, that was the original intention!
I actually just used a sepia ink and brush, OLD SCHOOL lol (But it's only cause i couldn't find my pens lol)
