Description you know that feeling when it's as if some animal is clawing at your stomach lining?
I came up with this idea a few months ago, when I was under pressure from school and such. I felt a lot of things, like anxiety, frustration, fear, and all the other nasties that make ya feel like you're getting an ulcer(I didn't, fortunately). and by the "hope" thing, I mean the hope that everything will turn out okay.

I decided to try and put an animistic quality to these stressors, and all of the ones pictured are combos of different animals(my personal fave is the five-eyed, two-tailed fox/caracal thing near the bottom). I completed it about two months ago, took me forever=_=with all the ink and watercolor details details DETAILS!
I should be making plenty of people happy by posting it. I know a number who are looking forward to seeing the finished product

I know the feeling! lol But in the end the ones that take longer usually pay off! ...This one did anyways..^^

Jinxa In reply to A-Xofia [2005-08-07 22:47:35 +0000 UTC]

it did, indeed a magnificent piece thgough I felt like I kinda undersold it. yes, someone saw it at the tail end of our neighbor`s art sale; she kept thinking about it, and decided to buy it before our neighbors moved. I was haggling over the price of the piece; but the sale organizer kept saying that $150 would be good(though I didn`t think it was enough for the ammount of work put into it; it`s as if she was saying that merely because I was an art student, not a "professional", and that kinda ticked me off).
I only get $85 out of the 150 anyway, that especially makes me think I was taken advantage of
at least the buyer liked the piece.

That sucks!...I hate how people think they can take advantage of artists just because they're not "pros"!
I know it's hard sometimes but: try to stick up for yourself! The artist should always have the last word when it comes to selling their art!
Great job here and please keep it up!

yes, indeed I should. it shouldn`t be a problem now that i`m actually ticked about this kind of thing, and it`s about time I renewed my reputation as being born in the year of the Dragon. not many people have the guts to downgrade a fire-breather(in a good way).
thanks for your input, and good luck to you

PS- I was born is the year of the dragon myself! They better watch out for us! lol

thank you. yeah, I was between a rock and a hard place when I came up with this one. hmm, I wonder if they'll eat my brain if they can't find the kibbles. speaking of which (taps forehead) *gasp* I think they have already!
I sold the original on wednesday, but at least there's this pic left. it probably wouldn't be a good idea to make myself another, just for me.

- I've been lead to understand that rice pudding is a good substitute for missing brains, although it does have a tendency to drip out of your ears and nose, usually at the most socially-embarassing moment possible. On the plus side though, it's tastier than bogeys and earwax, so it's got that on its side...

Jinxa In reply to snuurg [2005-07-02 06:33:51 +0000 UTC]

hmmm, I wonder what would happen if I mixed rice pudding with wolf brains; it probably wouldn't make much of a difference.
