Description Here is the finished image for *AbramWinterSmith . He has invented this character (“Chef Carter“) and I have drawn it. I hope you like it.

Towards the end, I was a little annoyed. I had almost finished the shading and then fell out of power . I had to do everything again….
I started the song "Around The World / Harder Better Faster Stronger" from Daft Punk [link] and started with new power.

but hopefully it was worth

WOWWOWWOW!
And now i don't talk about World of Warcraft.

Amazing. Great job with light, shading, coloring and background.
I can smell that steak. Put some brandy and then fire. Finally, spice it with black pepper and Juniperus communis's berries.
I hope customer enjoy that with glass of red wine.
Keep going like that and more like this.

**Walks over to his jaw...picks it up, and carefully reattaches it to his face...**

Um...wow....**Laughs** I'm still shivering over here, wondering what I could possibly do to show my appreciation beyond just my friendship and support...you got that before this animation cel was even completed...and the quality is that....damn....good.

I can start with this....you are permanently on my DeviantArt Gifting List: as long as I'm around and you're on DeviantArt, you will NEVER have to worry about your subscription running out. I will continue to keep an eye on your wish list...and as I have funds available I will help out....hopefully the American Economy will lift itself out of the dumps so I can do more.

The number of stories you've sparked with this cel alone will take me weeks, if not months to write out...and you will be let in on these, I can only hope that they are as enjoyable to you as your artwork has been to me....Hell, if I gotta find a translator for that, I shall. ^__^

Again...I am humbled....amazed....energized...and honored that you did this for me....and that I genuinely inspired you...for a long time I thought I had completely lost that ability.

You proved me wrong, and thank goodness you did that.

Dear God, if I could vote for this to be a Daily Deviation for you, I would....you deserve a lot of notice for not only this, but pretty much any piece in your gallery.

Keep up the awe-inspiring work, Dragendorf....you got a true gift, and the heart, soul, skill, and drive to back it all up.

--Brother Abram

"14 Years ago, I was abducted from one of my restaurants in London....and brought to a mysterious island...someplace in the middle of one of the oceans, I don't bloody know where. I arrived a broken and beaten man...and then the weird stuff began happening...

As I lived my days out I discovered the nature of the place, and my attitude changed....as did my body and my soul....I found my love for life again, adopted and started a new family when I couldn't back in my former home, and grew....matured....evolved...

We all were happy as we spent our days, weeks, months, and eventually years....but even though we were all tight and loved one another as if we were all flesh and blood, something lingered in the backs of our minds...

We all eventually would have to go home...

...except for me...I was too far gone.

I defended our home and the island to the point where I was far beyond going back to where I came from, but still I returned to the world very similar to the one I left behind....

...it's a lot fuzzier...but it's still home....and I know where The Cottage is....it's waiting for me....

Feels damn good to have just two legs again, and I never have to worry about shaving again...heh.

I'm not sure if I'll see my old family again, but I have a feeling I'll be making new friends here...and possibly recognizing those who knew me before my disappearance...two things I know for sure: they're not going to go hungry....and they'll have to learn to expect the unexpected....even I will have to relearn that..."

The former kittymorph looked up to the moon, his silver and blue eyes gleaming....though no longer glowing....and smiled, walking toward home...

--The Cottage.

I'm so glad that you like it. Some of your ideas, I couldn’t transpose. But overall I'm satisfied with the results.

You don't have to give me anything. It is a friendship gift that expects nothing in return, dude

I'm happy when I can chat with you.
And thanks for all the little stories.

I've not been to a Sushi Assembly-Line Style Restaurant, but I've been to buffets where they make the sushi while you wait...and you can get all your other favorites, too.

I may need to go out and get some Chinese Food, though...I've been craving that....

I never liked sushi until I moved to Phoenix, now I have the stuff any chance I get!

Mexican food is also a favorite of mine now...especially pork carnitas....shredded chunks of port simmered in spices....yuuuummy!

Dragendorf In reply to AbramWinterSmith [2011-07-15 14:11:59 +0000 UTC]

All you can eat sushi is the best sushi . You must not even move to get some more. When I think at sushi I get hungry . Mexican food isn't so popular in Germany like in the USA. But I can remember it taste delicious when I was in the States. We in Germany have Turkish restaurants instead.

So, is this character officially his, or yours? I wasn't sure.

You put a lot of effort into this and I can clearly recognize that, right off the bat. Between all the WIPs and such, you really made it a priority to make this as best as it can be and it is my personal belief that you have achieved that. The color application is toned well mixed in with the shading, and the reflections on the shiny newly waxed floor is a very nice touch indeed. It's been a treat to see this go from basic lineart to a full-blown composition, however simple in theme it may be. More than sure your friend will love this as much as I'm sure anyone would love to taste that guy's cooking.

Keep it up dude.

AbramWinterSmith In reply to Bowser81889 [2011-07-15 02:54:47 +0000 UTC]

Believe me, I do...

He's actually a character I play on an online game...Improbable Island. Over the last couple of years he's grown to be quite well-known...he's evolved a lot...and his description has likewise evolved.

What Dragendorf did was similar to something out of science fiction: it was as if he reached into my brain and saw how I saw Chef Albert W. Carter....and the rest is history. ^_^

He's done an AMAZING job, and I cannot thank him enough....you can bet your bottom dollar that I'll be a firm supporter of him on DeviantArt and help wherever I can.

I'm actually inspired to do some special stories concerning this piece and taking him on a series of adventures....we'll see how that turns out.

*AbramWinterSmith doesn't draw. But he wrote many stories. He has given me a description of the character. With this description I've done this picture. I hadn't a template if you that mean. I think this was my time-consuming image. But I am glad it is finished now. I'm glad that you like it bowser. Thank you for your nice comments dude .
