Eh... I'm a little art shy but this is some new stuff I've been doing...


(sorry if the page is huge I can edit it if anyone's really annoyed. I'll just have to figure out how first...)


(Mountains)

because I like to tell stories here's how this picture started.

(above) I had a pretty bad fever that no one knew about. (if you ask me they should've known when I said "Ow, it feels like my eyes are melting.") anyway I was looking at raindrops on a windshield and I thought about this so I drew it. Now I'm probably going to write a book about it.


(Trees)


(above) I had a dream where I saved one of my friends from an evil witch. That's where the witch lived. It's also now a part of my book.


(Miss Anne Thrope)


(above) This is something else I dreamed about. I named her Miss Anne Thrope (because I'm trying oh so hard to be clever.) The reason her skin is all discolored is because I can't shade. -.-' She's my main character.



I'm open to critism
and also adoring fans. xd jk

The first one almost has a Dali-esque quality to it, in a way... I'm not sure if that's just because of the surrealism of it and Dali's the first surrealist who comes to mind...? o_O; My first thought, though, is for drops of water on the window to get drawn like that, it must've been one hell of a fever!

In both the others, I really like the details... the vines tumbling over the chain-link fence and along the ground, the rough texture of the bark... the snorkel made me do a double-take, by the way! The color variance in her hair is a great touch, too, by the way... as soon as I realized she was wearing a snorkel, it occurred to me her hair even looks wet (which makes the snorkel make more sense, and the gown look out of place -- which I assume is part of the plot ^_~)!

I don't think the shading is a glaring oops, either... shading's definitely not my strong point, though, so... sweatdrop

Hm... they are big files... I'm on high-speed, so pft. Anyone on dial-up, though, might have trouble... oh, the width... hm. For lower screen resolutions that'd stretch the page. Which part of editing do you need help with? If it's resizing the images...? Or just a sec... here (and here and here); you could link them to the larger images, or just use text links. ^_~

Gah, I just tried to copy your URL things to see if it would give me a picture and it did not.

It's times like these I wish my sister wasn't so angry all the time so I could just get her to do it for me.

So I just thought I'd comment on some stuff you said.

Yeah we didn't go into the doctor until three days later when I felt really healthy again. anyway at the office I had a temp of 103 I can only imagine what it was when I felt sick.

It's not part of the plot so much as The Character's are all really weird and thus wear some pretty strange things. (They would all be pretty strange since most of it is based off of dreams I have.) Thanks for the bit about color variance. I don't really think about color variance when I'm coloring though, which I guess is weird. I just think it doesn't look right so I add another color and see if it helps...

Oooh oh. I really like them as a whole; they're very creative and overall very well-done.
I must say, I haven't heard of "crayon" as the media of very many artworks xd , I love it.
