Oops! Jumped the gun on Illustration Friday

4. July 2008, 12:38 pmArt, DrawingArtoholic Cindy6 comments

Please excuse my web unworthiness! What I thought was a link to join Illustration Friday, was actually a link to submit an illustration, and one with a Theme!  No means of correcting my wayward error either.

Frantic scrabbling to put something up with FIERCE as the motive – oh no!  I originally offered the 2nd graphite work below as my sad submission. It got a comment that it wasn’t so much fierce as morose, with droopy horns.

OK, I now offer a watercolour pencil and graphite work as “fierce” (to little children & kittens). Still not happy with my inaugural offering to I.F., but better than Droopy Horns.

I have cropped this piece just to show the Fierce side. The bottom bit was a bit cheeky!

Will do better next Friday, I promise!

Cheers,

    He looks like a bit of a morose and disinterested devil Cindy. Even the horns are droopy.

    I like my horns droopy Tim!

    How about fierce in a morose kinda way then?

    Cheers,

    I like the witches best. The mixture of colour and pencil is very effective. The Illustration Friday link wouldn’t work for me.
    I have added your site to my blogspot favourite links.
    Bill has started a blog of his movies.

    Hi Cindy,
    Read with interest the collective thoughts on the two who practise the dark arts in the pool. Yeah I thought it was only I who thought they were wrapped in being clever and only succeed in being not! Interestingly enough an anonymous commenter some months ago pointed out how the hits on the most popular site was happening and boy did he cop a caning and then of course deleted.
    Pleased I have your url address and can read of your “wow” days. I do so enjoy the varied personalities of you all. The fly is creepy and did not know of it until now.
    Oh well off to work…am a “floater” today. I function best in the dementia units…oops that might be a little too telling. My brother asked me to view “One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest” and said I remind him of Jack Nic…….. you know the one. Am having a moment with spelling. Still again?
    I must go back to the pool and do a little reading…..maybe tonight.
    Best Wishes,
    Elizabeth

    Elizabeth! I’m so happy you found me here.

    Ach, what can I say? Those with fulfilling lives don’t need to sling mud at others from behind a computer screen. Very sad

    I have a busy couple of weeks ahead, am about to put up a new post here.

    Jack was also very scary in The Shining, great actor.

    Thanks again,

    Cheers,

    Cindy
