Description After learning the art of sand sculpture from Jane, Terk began building random animals. One day Tantor was distractedly walking along the beach when he suddenly came face to face with a leopard! Before he could realize that it was made of sand he quickly tried to hide himself the best he could.

For the contest at

Fun Fact #1 - I really hate the background. Well, the trees at least. Someday I'll find the time to learn how to do proper backgrounds.
Fun Fact #2 - I'm actually quite pleased with how Terk and Tantor turned out.
Fun Fact #3 - I was gonna upload this last night, but it went into matinence mode. Awesome.
Fun Fact #4 - My cat likes apple pie.

Awww, your backgrounds don't look bad. And you know what they say, practice makes perfect. The more you work on them the better they'll get.

Thanks for the comment!

Practice makes perfect, as they say. We'll just have to keep at it.

Ya, my cat's really weird... he'll eat pretty much anything you put in front of him.

Thanks, glad you like it!

I think the background looks fine ^^ The title of this resembles the famous phrase in The Heart of Darkness novel... did you chose it for that reason?

btw, love your art, so beautiful

Janeckb In reply to UDeeN [2007-09-09 06:33:34 +0000 UTC]

Actually I got the title from the scene in the movie when Tantor and the gorillas come across the humans camp. I thought it fit, seeing as that scene inspired this one.

Thanks so much for the comment!

this is very well done! i dont know why you dont like the background, the waterfall is really nice! my one crit is that i wish the sand leopard stood out more, its a little lost in the sand background. maybe another angle of the view would have suited it better. still, i think this is a good piece and you did a fine job

Ya, I was having some trouble with that, but I ran out of time. I'll try and go back to fix it up soon.

This is so funny! I love it! I love the waterfall and the sand sculpture. Both turned out incredible!

I hear ya, I hate doing backgrounds too. I wonder how others make them look so good? They must have taken a course on Photoshop or something?!

Janeckb In reply to L3tt3rs [2007-09-03 19:43:39 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad you like it!

It'd be nice if someone would make a decent basic tutorial on backgrounds. The only ones I can find are just using brushes that come with photoshop.

L3tt3rs In reply to Janeckb [2007-09-03 21:05:21 +0000 UTC]

Tell me about it ... I can't make a background to save my life. It's so hard. That's why most of my backgrounds are left white, I don't even wanna bother!

Janeckb In reply to L3tt3rs [2007-09-03 21:09:47 +0000 UTC]

And they take so much time too. I think when I finally manage to figure it all out I'm gonna make a few general backgrounds that I can reuse for other pics.

You are SO right... The shorter one anyway. The taller one I do believe would be flipping through a certain book, saying there is no such thing and wondering how to kill it.
