Creature Card #20 Atc Edition

I use to draw trees to relax. I felt that the process might again be comforting so I drew a tree today.

Final bid 1310 credits. This card is going to a new person in New York.

Ugh I lost this one too! First the eye with a bush, now this! I guess I will have to try and win the fish filet! And honestly, I think that is one of your better drawings- I don't see why u were even debating not posting it! Umm, and just wondering, would you be able to create like a special panel poster type thing? like an image that starts on one 2.5x3.5 and has like 4 or 5 other parts? Like a skeleton would be totalllllllly up my ally! The head could be on an upper piece, the arms on two separate cards, the main body on one, and the legs on two separate cards as well? You could auction a sort of thing like that off, but I would be just delighted to purchase one of those as well! Let me know!

I'm sorry that you missed out on this card as well. I really appreciate all your effort to try to win some cards. It's a good thing I make a new one every day so your plan of decorating your room with them can come to life. I appreciate hearing that you really like the fish one. I think my thoughts on it were something like this... well it's a fish.. and its dead... and it's missing fins... no one will like this. But what do I know lol. This experience is so interesting. Hopefully I can really engrain in myself to just allow the creative process to do its thing and not worry about what I think people will like.

I find your idea to be very interesting. I think it would be hard to make a creature that is multiple parts on different days... and I'd be concerned that someone would want it all and then miss out on one. But I am planning on trying something new every month. After I do ink and color variations I might do it just to keep things interesting. It would be challenging to make a card where each part goes together but can be equally gratifying if seen solo. Thanks for the idea :)

I know you like dark things.. and I'm not very good at that.Most days I don't know exactly what I'll be making. I think those are often the best days. So you never know when a scull will pop up. If one does I'll let ya know :) Thanks so much!

Lol yeah I've been "fiending" for some good art! I looove me some art that is original, creative, and "street" so-to-speak lol! I have several pieces up in my room that I saw done right before my very eyes and those are always the coolest! I think it would also be really,really cool if you could maybe record some of your sketches as you are doing them, or, even have like a live feed where people can watch your creative genius as you work things out! That just adds to the excitement and the ability to, not only connect with a piece, but with an artist as well! I'd think that that would drive up some bids on listia! Lol, and, as for the panel idea, I am truly glad that you liked it! I look forward to seeing one in the future! And, yes, even though I do like dark, twisted, morbid things, I do judge things by other criteria as well! Well anyways, I guess that I have taken enough of your time, so, without further ado, ciao! :)

Not sure if it will notify you of this reply. Still learning how to work this system and it only lets me do so one reply to your comment. Will you let me know if it tells you about this?

I like the idea of fiending for good art :) I have seen little videos of people making their art. I'm not exactly sure how I would record one. I might be able to tape a few min of one with my phone but these take me no less than an hour to make and sometimes I'll work on one all day. With my kids it's not always a continuous effort, having to stop to feed them, change the movie and such. Sometimes we draw together which is really fun for me. I can do progressive work photographs of the stages but I bet a video would be more entertaining. Maybe after I move I'll be able to enlist someone to do that for me. As much as I enjoy receiving credits for the work I'm not worried about it. The point isn't to make a bunch off of these, it's just a perk :) I'm glad you can see beyond just dark, twisted and morbid things. I like those too very often I just can't seem to create them. Thanks for the comments! Good luck on the fish! Have a great night :)

yup it did notify me by email lol! And yeah progressive photos are cool, but, if you did little videos in clips that would trump all! I mean, if you gave a little insight into what the drawing started off as, then what it snowballed into, that would be really, really cool! And, I love that the points are just perks for you! You are such a cool, laidback person who just does it for the love of the art! I just love that about you; add that to the fact that every response is personal, thought through, and not rushed, just makes this an overall delightful/exciting/amazing/enlightening experience!

Your words are very kind and I really am encouraged by them. This is such a wonderful experience. I'm meeting so many new people! The connections themselves are invaluable. I have a bit of social phobia so this online is very nice and is helping me work with that a bit as well.

Some of the drawing do really go through dramatic stages, so I could see that being cool if I got the right one going with the thought process. A pictures worth a thousand words... so I guess a video would be like a book? It would save me from having to explain it, for I often feel my words are inadequate, being such a visual person.

I'm glad you are enjoying this experience as well. Now we just need to get you a card so you can see how much better they are in person lol!

HA lol your funny :) It always feels nice to know your not alone in a venture.

I like your confident fish winning additude! I wish you the best of luck in that matter. I have an auction I'm going to be fighting for tomorrow. When it gets closer I'll set an alarm to make sure I'm there in the final moments to duke it out as best I can for it.

Some people spend a long time working on the names so don't stress if you don't have it right off the bat. I am intrigued to hear what you would call it.
