Description
This was my first assignment in my senior advance Illustration class. We are to draw our own interpretation of the Arctic. And wheat came to me was the seal swimming by the icebergs. This was fist in watercolors, then pastels, then I went into using Corel Painter 11 to add a few things. So this was a very mix media illustration. I like this piece, the challenging thing was the iceberg's. But I thought for moment and said that Icebergs aren't perfect, they can be any weird shape, there is no right or wrong way.Related content

This is beautiful! I can't help feeling that either a bit less 'grain' (which I'm presuming is from the pastel work?) or alternatively a tiiiny bit more contrast on the seal would make it pop a bit more... buuut I love it!! You really created a sense of depth and the colour is gorgeous!

This is awesome! I love the concept. You make an arctic world seem alive.

I lost power for 4 and 1/2 days. Initially traffic lights were out, and there were fallen trees everywhere. How did your family make out? The good part was I got to see the stars without all of the light pollution. It was amazing. I think I could see the milky-way. The sky at night is beautiful. I worked on parts of my projects that I could, and spent the rest of my nights reading by candle light. I hope you are feeling better with your sore throat. I find that by wrapping something around your throat to keep it warm while you sleep always helps with my sore throats. I missed you too, and I hope that things are well. I think I will try to finish more of your story tonight (as I can resume again). [link]

wow, that long with no power. That is almost the same with my family back home, they still have no power and they don't know when they will get power. That is the bright side to a black out, you can really look up into the beautiful night sky and see stars above. Your are lucky. I am feeling better, I have been drinking a lot of tea and honey to help my throat. On sunday it was the worst I had no voice. I was making a joke about it to my friends. How i would talk back to them is writing it down and showing them, and I wrote that "I know what Ariel had to deal with, by have no voice and trying to talk with people." they liked that Little Mermaid reference. I can't wait to read your story, when ever you finish it. Don't rush it just because of me. I'm so glad to be talking to you again.
Oh remember that French film I showed you last week, "Un Monstre A Paris", well someone on DA send me the link to another trailer in English dubbed. I think they are really bringing it to the US

I loved that trailer, and that song. So, he is a giant flea- I was trying to figure out what he was.
That little mermaid story is very cute. XD. You poor thing. It is not fun having a sore throat. It can make you feel miserable, but I hope you can sleep.
Yes, the Tri-state area got hit very hard. I saw trees in roads- and some in houses. Areas around rivers and streams flooded, and a lot of people will have a bad time because of it. I am glad to hear that your family is alright, and I would not worry about them. A lot of stores and roads are still open.
I organized my notes for the story, and I hope to get it finished -(perhaps?) by the weekend. If I can't, I will start posting it in parts. So you may begin to read it. Sleep tight and get better soon. Wrap a scarf around your neck and keep it warm. [link]

I was having a hard time figuring out what that character is too. But he sure can sing and play that guitar. I listen to that french song almost every day, i even try to sing it, i learning some french lol XD
i have been watching the news and it's sad how some people got the worst part of the store. House gone and everything, its sad. I can only imagine what back home looks like, i wonder if any of our trees in the back yard fell down. I'm just glad that no one was hurt, my family and you.
With my soar throat I didn't have a problem sleeping, it was hard to not talk. In classes I had to talk even if my voice was half gone. But I'm getting better every day. I'll warp a scarf around my neck, thanks doctor 
I'm also going to spend my weekend to work more on my senior thesis. My teacher is so nice that he is letting us work on our thesis early and in class. Most teachers don't do that until the second semester. My teacher says that our thesis is important and he wants to make sure we do a good job. So that when we are finally done with school (that will be a sad day) we will feel ready for the real world. I have been working on some rough sketches of scenes and designing characters.
When my book is all published, I can't wait to show you it and give you a copy, if you like.
Good Night, my Angel of Art

I cannot wait to see your book either. [link] Now, I am going to work on your story all night long. This will be a long weekend with labor day. It is a good idea that you will start your thesis early. I hope you are feeling better. [link]
