The eyes of the donkey are the best.
I really like the background, especially the sunlight on the mountain.

I love the way you've done the glow from the flaming salamander, very nice!

That's why I don't eat hot sauce.

Thanks! I underpainted everything but the flames, which helped with the glow.

And I don't eat hot sauce either. ;D

Thank you dearie. I'm just popping pain pills every four hours, which helps a bit.
Thank God for Vicodin...

The donkey's face is an awesome mix of blankness and WTF. Cant help but imagine the taco dude saying 'senor, you are on fayr!' in a rwally thick cheesy accent! Teehee! FAAAAAAAV!

Although I'm not sure what your up to with regard to my last note, my optimiser says "She's working on something" and my pessimism says "You were ignored, deal with it"; Although I think you've probably been busy with the Christmas rush and dealing with real life :-D.

MegLyman In reply to doctormo [2007-12-14 19:38:28 +0000 UTC]

You are correct! You know how once you read the note, dA removes it from your messages list? Makes it easy to forget to reply to stuff. :/ Plus, I am crazy busy. Have two paintings to finish within a week!

I won't ignore people; it's rude! I will often take a while to respond, though. Apologies in advance!
