Nice job my friend, I like the tatoo like design on her leg.

The tattoo was part of the character. I just copied it from a drawing sent to me by Tanyquil. She should get all the credit.

This is a great drawing! I'll definitely have to remember these styles for my figure drawing class when I take that (next summer?). Nice pose too. We've thanks to this art, we are no longer deprived of your work.
Haven't seen the original, and you indicated that the look and colors are T's, but I did like how you handled the mix between hair color and strands. Been experimenting with that, as you will see in a few days. Wish I had seen this first; I may adopt that style next time (though less windblown).
Sorry if my comments are confusing, or Kerryesque.

John,
"Kerryesque"! Ha Ha! Glad you liked it.
Be forwarned! If you try doing an animation or cartoon style drawing in a college life drawing class be prepared to be brow-beaten! When I was in college, commercial styles like this were usually outrightly criticised or just laughed off as fluff. But, perhaps times have changed.

I plan to vote for the guy. He and I speak in rambling sentences.
Good point. I'll eat a lot to thicken the skin. I did go to the Columbus Museum today. The coolest art piece was a cartoonish take on a mobile home community and gas station by an African-American son of a Baptist Preacher!

I am really torn! I don't usually like the Republican candidates, because they like to bring God into the White House way too much, and Bush is especially bad about it! WE has seperation of Church and State for a Damn good reason! Someone needs to tell Bush this! Repeatedly if need be! Also they are often blindly behind Big Business no matter what it wants to do! WE need big businbess, but we also need to expect them to has some scruples and think of the public as people and not just potential customers. Bush is just too damned close to big oil and other large industries. They have way to much influence over him. His agenda in Iraq I question, because I think he's more interested in getting into the history books and "winning the war" that his Daddy didn't. Kerry is so wish-washy and he doesn't seem to have much of a plan, just lip service for so many problems. He reminfds me a bit Of Ross Perot with all his platitudes and cliche's. And that business about Viet Nam...what a friggin' mistake all that BS was! If you have to try to win an election with bald-faced lies about your war record, then I don't want you in office!
And the worst is that BOTH parties have no interest in protecting our Southern borders! We have crazed terrorists walking across our border from Mexico anytime they like! And that doesn't even address the illegal Mexican problem itself! Southern California is fast becoming another shitty Mexican border town, due to the influx of fine quality illegals who can't make it in Mexico, so they come up here to ruin our town and drag down the quality of life here. The borders bneed to be closed and inforced! If it means armed military men guarding it, and a few idiots have to get wounded trying to sneak across, then so be it! Eventually, they'll get the message and stay in Mexico where they belong.

I believe that John Kerry will do what is in John Kerry's best interest, which means doing the best he can to minimize his negative ratings and improve his positive ratings, which ironically means doing a much better job for America than Bush. Regardless what Kerry says, he would have never invaded Iraq if he were actually President; he's just saying that to CHA. George W. Bush does what he thinks is best for the country, regardless of the consequences or damage to his own political reputation. Normally, that would make me vote for him, but Bush has a twisted view of what is best for the nation, such as invading Iraq, outsourcing jobs left and right (I have actually quotes from cabinet members supporting this), destroying any distinction between Church and State, increasing immigration from down south (to make it cheaper for business friends who want to pay their workers less), etc. So ironically, I am voting for the selfish candidate rather than the "altruistic" one, because the former will do a better job for America. Under Kerry, we will go back to the 1996-2000 years economically, where a Democrat President and Republican Congress stymied each other, which balanced the budget, reduced the size of government, and actually prosecuted terrorists effectively (check W's record on how many caught terrorists have faced the death penalty or prison). Don't get me started on Nader's shortcomings!
But I still respect Bush voters -- just not Bush (much in the same way I give Kerry voters more credit than Kerry). And in my classes, I can argue each side's position better than the candidate!

Boy, we could go on and on about this. I think it boils down to you and I more or less agree on the whole thing! There is no clear choice on who to vote for. I used to be pretty much Pro Democrat, but these days, and living in California, I am starting to see the Republicans as the lesser of two evils! It's so sad that both parties have come to mean such specific THINGS to so many. Considering what Repuvblican means today, it';s rather hard to believe that Lincoln was a Republican, yet he is so well known for Freeing the Slaves, a VERY "liberal" thing to do! Of course, it had more to do with the Civil war and the North's feelings toward the Confediracy, etc, but I wish we could find some middle ground and a candidate that can embrace the best of both sides for the good of everyone!
Okay, let's talk about Scooby Doo now!

Oh CRAP! What to do? Hey! Reverse the image! Suddenly the tattoo is on the correct leg, but the tattoo is now reversed! Oh well...LIVE WITH IT! I hope this info does not detract from your enjoyment of it.

Oh Yes! I agree completely! This was done as a FREEBIE! I didn't spend as much time on it as I would something I plan on selling at auction or doing for myself. It was done as a favor for Tanyquil because she asked me so nicely to do it for her. I get a tremendous amount of requests for trades and freebies, and I just can't do them all!
