Love the title, the idea and the whole work...
it still seems like a really dark and violent work despite all the "pretty colors"
I guess it could be even darker if you gave your knuckles more character (it might seem as if they were about to be used for punching lolz )
The kid looks like a lil cartoon version of you all mad and about to beat up the other lil girl in d work lolz
nice stuff

wonderfully drawn becky and yes i even think the hands are fine

but i can't help but be very moved by the concept...it's such a sad one, indeed...the point at which a child's innoncence and carefree nature is replaced by some of the ugly "adult" emotions and traits. Sad, but inevitable...this is such a unique way of capturing such a moment; having material possessions, and the desire for them, intefere in a typical moment of child's play.

thanks sweetie, yeah i know it's not such an innocent picture. i remember about a year back when i was studying up on paintings by mark ryden who had this dark way of showing how kids arent as innocent as they seem. this one is a little dark if you dwell on the story i suppose.

nice!
this is just photoshop stuff? cool!
like the black lines- how they change in thickness. how did u do that?
also like the nice sparkle effect u used
and how the rope looks surprisingly real

b-e-c-k-y In reply to deejaystephon [2005-05-16 12:15:15 +0000 UTC]

yup, all photoshop.. the thickness.. well that can be controlled with the wacom, if you press harder the lines will become thicker. it's still hard getting used to drawing with it, it took me so long to make this one. about two weeks, working every night on it..

yo! becks! cute illustration
wow! so that's what you've been doing when you brought a tablet in the office hehe
i like the over-all composition of this piece of yours because it looks as though you just used a spray paint to color this. and the story of jealousy was beautifully narrated.

And it's hard to be happy for someone else when she is so much better than I at something I really wanted to do. (I'm not very good at it either.)

Hehe... yeah, that brings back the memories from elementry school... when you always didn't seem to care what others thought (or so you believed). Then suddenly someone has something cooler, and suddenly no one cares to pay attention to you and they get all the views... you feel leftout... sadness strikes and then... you declare your rival ^_^'

hehe yeah EXACTLY. damn kids. damn them for having better shoes and colorful pens and awesome snacks like fruit rollup and granola bars when you have a stupid apple. hahaha awwww being a kid was a lot of fun. but you know, i suppose even then we're not as innocent as we would like to think. in a way this picture talks about that twisted part of us i guess.
