Description Hehehe iv worked on thsi one a good long time before australia day ^^ took me about a week to finalise the linework and a good 6hrs to colour it. This picture represents all i feel about my home land and its wild untamed beauty.
It is of my wereself (tryed a different style) with my emu feather hairtie, reaching out to the kookaburra, perhaps in hope it will land on my outstretched arm. I could have possibly embellished the landscape further but its simplicity suits the land type and look of the picture.
It scanned rather darkly im afraid, the colours are much lighter yet richer in real life.
I am however sick today and not able to cellebrate as boistoriously or with others as i had arranged and was intending but oh well.

Let us aussies all sing the Australian anthem and be proud this day ^_^.

Australians all let us rejoice
for we are young and free
we've golden soil and wealth for toil
our home is girt by sea

Our land abounds in natures gifts
of beauty rich and rare
in historys page let every stage
Advance australia fair

Beneath our radient southern cross
we'll toil with hearts and hands
to make this Commonwealth of ours
renowned of all the lands
for those who come across the seas
we've boundless plains to share
with courage let us all combine
to advance australia fair
in joyful strains then let us sing

Advance Australia fair!

I think it's more like

Australian's all are Ostriches
for we have GST
with golden foil and wealth for toys
our home is dirt and sea....

and so on... I love australia too much, couldn't see me livin' anywhere else.

It's a little belated but happy Australia day. This is such a fitting tribute to the day, and the kookaburra is my favourite bird. I just adore the sound of their call. Your pencil work is simply beautiful, I can't help but admire it, I love pencil work.

Azerane In reply to Bear-hybrid [2007-02-01 19:23:17 +0000 UTC]

I hope you get a chance to finish the '07 image, I'm sure it'll look great when you do. Where I live, in the summer there's Kookies around, and I hear them early morning and evening, not all the time but I'll hear them for about a week, then it'll be a few weeks before I hear them again, but they are around and I'm glad for that.

That really is a beautiful peice! Hoorah for your beautiful art, hoorah for Australia day, and hoorah for all the other patriotic Australians out there! I beleive we really do live in the greatest (in the true meaning of the word) country in the world, and you've captured so many aspects of this beautiful place in your artwork.
Thanks for giving me just one more reasons to be proud to be Australian.

(P.S - Sorry to hear you couldn't celebrate Australia day this year, but just look forward to celebrating twice as much next year!)

Oh, it's beautiful! You deserve a round of applause for this piece! I think that, although the coloring came out darker than you meant it, it still really carries the message across and it's easy to see you put a lot of effort into this piece. Congratulations and Happy Australia Day! =^-^=

BTW, nice voice, lol!

beautiful! I love the background, i suck at backgrounds, as you will see on the comic. One page complete, working on the other today. Just as a warning, my bgs suck, and it looks all crappy x_X basically we start in puras den/lab..so the background is the den walls, and then when i start building the ray gun we go outside. Den is in the hills beside the town you destroy xDD
