Description "Among the clouds that play upon the skies, a young giraffe was once to be found.

All alone, she sat upon a cloud, gazing down on the earth below. Tears falling down her cheeks, for how long she had been crying, no one knows.

"Why is it so that no one is like me and how come that there is no place where I can belong?" she said, her tears falling down from the clouds."

.:[~*~]:.

This is the very first picture to be featured in my children's book (which yet has to be discovered) that depicts the Angelic Giraffe's quest to find a friend.

Smulis the Angelic Giraffe is sad, for she has realized that there is no one like her in the whole world.

Young and inexperienced as she is, she yet has to understand that friends come in all shapes, that they never are just like oneself.

Hopefully, the journey she soon intitiates, will help her to find a friend in the end.

.:[~*~]:.

This picture has awaited uploading patiently for a whole year. I finished it on January 1st, 2007, and I thought it fitting to upload it on the very last day of the year it was finished during.

See it as my tribute of appreciation for all of you who have supported me over the past year.

May all your dreams come true and may you find whatever it is that you seek.

I had been revisiting some of my older works of giraffes, and then came across your comment about how we both like giraffes, but in different proportions! so here's to giraffes and this lovely art work of your's again. I like that you have in the corner a little silhouette of a pair of different giraffies!


ttfn, take care.

I appreciate your fondness of the picture, but as the giraffe is very personal, as is the artwork, I would prefer you not to.

Still, I am however flattered by your offer. Thank you

This looks so. freaking. awesome.

The colors and composition are absolutely gorgeous. 8D I would most definitely buy this once it comes out! I would read it to my children and it would be one of those books that they know and love and lose and then when they're adults they'd find it in a box in the attic and recall fond memories of childhood. (:

Feathers-of-Love In reply to katiiieanne [2008-01-16 23:24:46 +0000 UTC]

I drew a graphite sketch on paper (during physics class no less). I then scanned it and painted it completely in Photoshop7. I use a tablet too.

I think that is the whole process. I hope it helps.

I watch to see what you post mostly for any new giraffe drawings like this.
I love how you have created this charactor.

I think this picture is so beautiful, so inspiering.

no words can express how much this picture has in it, how many feelings it has.

And if it does come out in book form I would love to buy it.

Thank you for your sweet words, they are much appreciated.

And thank you for the words about the future book. In my darkest moments it is words like yours that make me happy.

You are the first to know this, but I thought it would make you glad - I am working on a new giraffe picture

See you around!

This is wonderful.
If I was a mother I'd definately buy such a children's book for my child. Children these days are filled with all sorts of crap, but this is just the thing children should enjoy I would even enjoy it myself, I believe Best of luck to you ^^
Also I realize I should comment on the painting >.> But you know, it's BRILLIANT and perfect. I adore the colours and Smulis and the sunbeams have a great effect

I love children's books and I can honestly say that if I saw this illustration in a book, then I would honestly buy it straightaway.

I don't think I can put into words how well this has been drawn, I'd probably end up rambling about a load of nonsense! I love how everything has that smooth kind of texture and how there are loads of little details here and there, especially the stars and all the little ripples in the water. Infact you'd have to look at this picture for a long time to study it properly, I think. (: Gosh, I love this picture!
