Description Again from the ballpoint "series", just as old but it got scanned just now.

Not much to say about it, it's a hunter chasing a mammoth during the Ice Age. I'm aware that it takes more than one person to hunt down a mammoth, but the guy's really hungry and has no choice. He'll probably get squashed. The stars nearly killed me.

(see, the stupid stories I had to make up just to explain drawing a little mammoth. I'm sure arctic foxes or some shit would have been much easier to find)

WTFURRY.

Foarte frumos, ca de poveste. Dar ce vaneaza? Imi da senzatia ca ar fi un mamut (sau visez eu niste colti de fildes imensi).

Imi place tare mult aglomeratia aia de stele de pe cer

Da, e mamut. Cand te gandeasti ca l-am desenat la cursuri, aglomeratia aia de stele incepe sa arate...scary

nu m-am gandit niciodata ca e smecher! that's lovely to hear. am avut rabdare fiindca l-am facut in timpul unor cursuri foarte lungi si plictisitoare

Lovely picture
the stars?... you drow the whole milkyway there! is it only ballpoint?
the middle ground, where the mammoth stands could be darker, not much just a local tone to separate it from the foreground 'cause the distance is pretty big. but there's snow everywhere so i can't be sure anyway i don't have a clue about how to work with ballpoints and i think it looks good that way too.
i love the sky fading edges.

yes, it's 100% ballpoint. i didn't even sketch it with a pencil first (but wish i had)
I see what you mean with the ground where the mammoth is, but i tried to show that there's snow, just as you said. it would be confusing if i darkened it. glad you like it

Wow.... O.K. I really love this drawing. The fact that it is drawn with a ball point pen is just incredible. The sky,....there is so much movement, yet it is so smooth..... just great! The stars, the creatures (man and mammoth?),.... I'm sorry. I suck at words today. Basically, the whole drawing is really great.

Grr I've been away too long! I must go and check your last few devs so I can catch up! But this looks beautiful. Amazing what you can do with a simple biro I love the snow in the sky, the detail must have taken...looooong. I bet that really hurt your wrist!

grr those are stars not snow! > (lol, you're not the first to fall for it and i know they don't really look like stars). and well, the reason why I can still use my right hand is that I drew this during a whole month, while listening to boring teachers. *doodledoodledoodle* anyway, i'm glad that it's at least impressive, if not accurate thanks.

Wow....I could tell it was one of your ballpoint pics from the preview...but close-up it looks unbelievable. First off, love the composition, where half the magic is not just in the snow and the hunter/prey situation, but in the stars swirling above his head. in this one pic you achieve so many different effects, from the fur of his outfit to the distant shadows in the snow and the mammoth, and the constellations above. And what occurred to me too is that the way you did the wavy strokes in the night sky reminds me of Van Gogh's pic of a night sky over a little town (I don't remember the name). The bright "Milky Way" in the middle looks beautiful too....neat also how the texture of the sky fades off at the edge of the paper instead of going all the way to the end. Must this one.

oh thank you thank you! you remarked all the spots where i worked extra carefully. it started without any idea whatsoever, then i realised that i can get a lot of textures and effects into it, so i started paying attention to what i'm doing I'm really glad that you realised those are stars and not snow the milky way is an interesting effect indeed, but alas, it doesn't look like it should. anyway, it is one of my favourite drawings too, so i'm really glad you liked it

I love this. The stars are amazing - especially the milky way band. You've got the halo of light around each of them just right - no wonder it nearly killed you!

I can't believe you've done this in ball point! It's just fantastic.

imput "timp" pe primul rand intre "intre" si "u"
K tot ai dat advanced critique... nope...nu sunt in masura sa-ti dau sfaturi, e bestial desenul (poate zic asta caci se incadreaza perfect in atmosfera preferata...anyway e un a.o.k. craft )
Totusi dak vrei sa dai cu chioru' la munca unui obsedat d efecte in pix, try "Alien-base" (e la watch-u meu)

Cat d vechi este mai exact... 'couse e super tare ... si asta inseamna k intre u got even better.
Efectele ar merita un award by themselves, und mai pui si epicul desenului...apropo, imblanitul din prim plan poa' sa fie un simplu scout pt. the hole hunting party.
