Description
We had a good time at Clearwater Beach Chalk Walk. It is always really nice to our fellow chalk artists...we never get to see them as often as we would like. It was a much needed change to do a smaller piece this past weekend. We have been working day and night for a while and this was a good way to finish things off and not have to stress about getting it done. We finished with plenty of time (usually we are working up until the last second they allow) and we got to mingle more than we usually do at these events.
Anyway, we are pretty happy with how this turned out. We absolutely loved working in this color pallet. We ended up winning 1st place in our category! Also a big shout out to our friend for winning Best of Show for her adorable Pumpkin Mermaid. She is one talented mama.

This is absolutely stunning! You guys never cease to astound me!!! ^o^ At a far glance I thought it this was a picture of Princess Kitana from Mortal Kombat going for swim. The bikini looks very similar to her outfit and I thought, "OMG The twins drew Kitana fighting waves instead of people! Awesome!" Yes, I am uber geeky and proud of it. Aren't we all?

Thank you so very much! Sorry it isn't Kitana but we are still glad you like it. ^^ Unfortunately, we won't be at Metrocon, but hopefully we will see you around!
And yes, I think we all here are proud of our geekiness.

Congratulations on winning 1st place in your category! You guys deserve it. :')
I love the reflective qualities you were able to capture in the water, and the woman herself looks so three dimensional and real.

Thank you!! We have been doing a lot of cars and really technical stuff lately so the water was a really nice change of pace. Haha, it's funny that you say it looks 3D. They had two people doing anamorphic 3D art at the event but a lady actually came up to ours and asked if our piece is also 3D (which it isn't). That made us happy.

Yup yup! A lot of people didn't believe that the original picture was a painting and not a photo.
