Here's a drawing I made (dial up warning)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

It was all done by drawing freehand with a pen and then coloring with Prismacolor colored pencils. It's not a very accurate representation as the picture is 24"x18". I need to scan it but I gave it to my exgirlfriend and she won't let me.



Here's a few details:

1. Wow - that's very cool.

You spent a lot of time on it; very intricate and detailed. Would love to see it close up and in person because you're right - the photo doesn't do it justice. Nice work!!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

4. Thanks - it spawned work like this where I draw it digitally

It's much more intuitive and there's an undo feature :)

[Avalux]

6. I see - that's a great piece too.

Do you print your digital drawings? There is something to be said for a touchable work of art. I am impressed by your composition style. :thumbsup:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

8. I do print them but the plan is to animate them.

:thumbsup:

30. Do you have that one at a resolution suitable for a big print? -nt

[Heidi]

2. Right on!

Beautiful colors! :thumbsup:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

5. The colors look better in person.

But thank you

[Richard Steele]

3. WOW! "Intricate" much?

Very nice piece! :applause:

[jpgray]

7. Nice!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

9. Danke

:thumbsup:

[jpgray]

11. Yeah and I dabble incompetently in the visual arts myself

So my opinion is sprawling on the edge of meaningfulness. :D

Seriously, that's very cool.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

12. I've seen your work and you're full of it!

:yourock:

[ohiosmith]

10. Do speed?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

13. LSD my friend. Though I had to give it up.

It's not for long term use.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Wow, this is wonderful!

And you want to animate it?

Even better!

It would be quite psychedelic, IMHO.....

Without the drugs!

Thanks for posting!


:applause: :applause:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

17. You're welcome

[devilgrrl]

15. Works for me...

very nicely done! :-)

[WCGreen]

16. Oh man... I see Ethel and Fred doin' the nasty.....

Seriously, that is cool stuff...

They use to have these great hippie color it in posters back in the 70's....

We use to get them and smoke a little doobage and color for hours...

Your vivid use of color takes me back....

[RandomKoolzip]

18. Noice.

Which ex was this done for? D, J, A...or some other?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

20. J

SBP took that pic when he was last in Da Grove.

[RandomKoolzip]

22. Why won't she let you scan it?

Are you still on good terms with J?

Have I mentioned that I always secretly wished you'd done a drawing for me but was too reticent to "commission" you to do it, out of respect?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

23. Just for trying to tug on my heartstrings you get NOTHING!

You're lucky I even let you compliment me!

Actually J and I are on better terms. But just like D who owns my hand drawn tryptich and won't let me touch it she claims that she'll never get it back.

Whoops - I used a 1st name

[RandomKoolzip]

24. Fine, you juicy fuck!

I always thought you were a fucking HACK, you steaming crunt-hunch!

And on my birthday, of all days....:grr: :cry:


There was once this girl who had a crush on me who held my stereo hostage until would go out with her. "No thanks," I said!

Loudly!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

25. I think you're being hard on S Reynolds

[RandomKoolzip]

26. You're missing the article "a" and a comma in that sentence.

[Sugar Smack]

19. Damn! And that's really, really good work. And your ex

won't give it back to you to scan? Do you want me to go get it for you?

Seriously, you (and your painting) have a lot of energy.:D

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

21. Thanks. I'll get my hands on it one day

We're on much better terms than we used to be.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

27. If that was for sale, I'd buy it. I'm serious.

If you took to selling those, how much would you be able to get? Just curious.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

28. I don't know - haven't thought about it.

I can make them alot faster now digitally.

[GirlinContempt]

29. Hey, that's really great

:)
