Pixey 3,878 Report post Posted December 1, 2012 @Jim - Thanks once again for your kind words. I know I would not be able to get a face correct if I didn't use a "grid". Doing a face by hand would be a great challenge for me too. @Helen - Thank you so much. Hubby too commented on the shirt as well @RedBeard - You brought a big smile to my face with your comments. Thanks so much for your support, which is greatly appreciated. @Ella - Thank you for commenting and stopping by to look - you are very kind. @Welshy - Thanks a lot - so glad you liked it, as well as the T-shirt and eyes. Really appreciate your comments. @dug - I'm really happy to read your lovely comments. You are a cool guy too. And - not one of you said a jolly thing about his hair .

Pixey 3,878 Report post Posted December 20, 2012 @BP - Thanks so much. I just love your Avvie BTW. @Dug - Thank you. I guess you have better weather in Spain? It's really grim in the British Isles just now. @BBQ - Everytime I see anything rat-related I think of you (I mean that in a nice way). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The whiskers look so real. Wicked cute little critter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

welshblue 2,868 Report post Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) A little addition to my family of critters - @Welshy grits teeth to see it it's a cat - a little man called Otto all done in PDN Weirdly my first thought when I saw the title, was - A little boy dressed in lederhosen. I love otters. Such sleek and graceful animals. How could I hate Otto ? I can't decide if he looks scared, sad or inquisitive Edited December 29, 2012 by welshblue Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedBeard 27 Report post Posted December 30, 2012 Nicely done, Pixie! You are showing yourself to be a true master of the medium. I particularly like the depth of field you put in it. It really focuses the viewer's attention where it needs to be...on Otto! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellowman 210 Report post Posted December 30, 2012 So cute, I thought it is a photo, I agree with RedBeard, some great skills here, thanks for sharing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dug 85 Report post Posted December 30, 2012 I hate the word cute,not very macho, but you just keep making me use it.One of those adjectives that totally sums up most of your subject matter. .Powerfull use of depth of field making it photographic.Well done,Otto is cute, cute, cute!

Pixey 3,878 Report post Posted December 30, 2012 @Jim - thanks so much * @Welshy - Ha, ha - a little Swiss boy perhaps? Glad you liked Otto. It's funny, but when I paint an animal I never know how the 'look' will end up on its face @RedBeard - thank you so much for those kind words. BTW - I didn't forget about trying to do a hair tute for you. I've got a folder full of attempts, but none are good enough ...... yet @Yellowman - thank you very much indeed * @Dug - Golly, thanks a lot for those kind words * * @Jim, @Yellowman and @Dug ...... No doubt you know the saying, "only real men wear pink", well ............. real men can also say 'cute' very naturally Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
