This is my entry for 's contest!!! There is still time to enter for the chance to win a Wacom tablet!!
Contest Time: win a wacom tablet! (prizes added)"Contest time is here again, woohoo Do you want to win a tablet Wacom Bamboo?" Yes, I'm having a drawing contest and first prize will be a Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch CTH 460 tablet (second hand but fine,still had guarantee in fact when I got it and used it like 2 times so..), there are also premiums, points, features, etc etc to win. If you already have a tablet but know of someone that would love it, you can enter on their behalf. The tablet will be shipped WORLDWIDE. (quick explanation: I am visually impaired. A friend of mine gave me her tablet since she had a better one hoping I would somehow manage it even with my wonky eyes. Well I couldn't so if it interest someone..) And now you wonder, what kind of contest? (voice of Evan mc Gregor in Moulin Rouge) "The contest is about... love." You will find more details in the journal here but the theme is quite simple: "What would my Ocs and your Oc
My entry goes in for my sister, . She is an amazing artist but has not been able to get a tablet since hers broke. I would love to give her this one if by some slim chance I would win. However, there are tons of amazing entries already, and I am sure many more to come! I will be happy for whoever wins!! Good luck to you all!!!
There is a little bit of a story behind this picture. Sugeru, is one of my all time favorites of *spadiekitchenqueen . When I heard about the contest and the option to pair one of her OCs with one of mine I knew right away who it would be. Sugeru, and my sweet, sweet Merem. Sugeru and Merem share a common bond. They both love someone who will never belong to them. I think this is a big reason why they both have a soft spot in me. I felt this pairing perfect. Merem, with her gentle spirit and her need to feel secure would no doubt find it in the strong, protective care of Sugeru. When I came across the reference picture I used for this I knew it was the one. Sugeru... arms protectively around both woman and child.
It just seemed so him to me. Regardless of how this contest turns out, I feel I have satisfied my need for a happy ending for them both. Hehe!
I feel accomplished! Lol! So, here they are: Sugeru, Merem and their little son, Seru. Sorry, I am terrible with names, but I could see Merem wanting to name him after Daddy, and Sugeru not wanting to, so they would compromise.
Haha! I've thought about this too much! Lol!
I hope you like it!!

Okay, so I'm an absolute sucker for the whole "family snuggled up together" thing, so this was an absolute delight to find! The wintery feel of it kinda gives it a 'hibernating' feel and with the baby I can't help seeing a bit of spring/new beginnings symbolism (although it's quite possible this was unintentional.
) The color scheme is also lovely, with the blankets adding a very pleasing sense of contrast to the piece.
I think my only thing with it would be why Merem is the only one to be fully clothed? The positioning of the blanket and Sugeru's hand are perfect for avoiding accidental peeks, and I think it would have delivered a stronger sense of innocence and raw emotion if Merem had also been bare. A sort of "stripped to the core nature/feelings/love" sort of thing. That's just my thought, though, and the finished product is no less beautiful.

Thank you so much!! I am so glad you like it!! I definitely see what you are saying with Merem. And for sure I see what it would add to it. I appreciate your thoughts on this!!
As innocent as it would be, since I draw in a place where my kids have full view I choose to be careful with what I draw. I don't want to hide anything from them, nor explain why someone is unclothed. Lol! Trust me, they would ask! Haha!
But, if someday I redo this in the future I may just take your suggestion. If I can work around my kids' waking hours! Lol!
Thank you so much for commenting!

This is so beautiful! Thank you for entering for me. I intended to enter, but here it is, the 20th and I haven't gotten a single pencil line down.
Not having a scanner now has dramatically stunted my motivation to draw, oddly enough.
At any rate, this is absolutely beautiful!! I love the whole feeling of this picture.

You are so very welcome!! I don't know if there is any chance I will win it, but I so wanted to try for you! She has actually extended the deadline to the 30th. So, I guess, we must wait to see the results.
We need to try and get you a scanner. I miss seeing your art!!

I've conceded to taking photos of my work, but the quality is poor. I have a bunch of stuff I need to upload though.... none that was for the contest, but since the deadline is extended... maybe I'll be able to get something done.

Anytime! Sorry I have been so quiet lately, I've been really busy and my sister has been pretty sick. How are you?

Gnewi In reply to MissZenGray [2012-12-02 03:51:47 +0000 UTC]
Oh, dear. No need to apologize! Is your sister okay? I hope it isn't something serious!
Is it a good busy? We've been busy here, too. Mostly with work and family up because of the holidays. My kids are in a big Christmas program this year so we've been pretty busy with that. I've had this silly cold for forever, it seems. But other then that I've been good.
I hope your sister feels better and that things quiet down for you! Sometimes even if it is a good busy, it can be exhausting. Make sure you get your rest!

Thanks I'm not sure if it is a good busy or not, but it is winding down. Only two weeks left of classes and exams then I can be home with my family. My sister is better, I think, and she is going to try school tomorrow. I am pretty worried about her.
I miss Christmas concerts! I hope that your kids enjoy it, because they can be a lot of fun.
Yes, the colds this year do seem to drag... and when you think they are gone they sneak right back in. I am hoping that my stress and lack of sleep (I'm trying to make sure I get it) do not make me vulnerable to a virus!

How did your sister do with school? Do you know what she has? Sorry to hear she is not doing well. I hope she gets better quick!
Thank you! My kids are loving being in the program. They have performed it once already and did so well! One more time to go! There are so many little ones in there that it is just adorable to watch!
Me too! I hope you do not get sick. Take care of yourself, dear!!

She had inflamed lungs and her asthma is "not under control". She had a really bad cold and then an asthma attack. Now she can breathe ok, but her asthma is being triggered by every little thing and her chest still hurts really bad. She went back in to the doctor today and got some different medicine. She has got through three days of school now in a row, with minimal coughing so she should be good through to Christmas break as long as nothing severe triggers it.
I am glad that they (and you) are enjoying it! I really miss going and either being in it or watching my brother/sister in it. The little ones are always adorable
Thanks hun I need all the hugs I can get!

Oh, that sounds awful! I hope your sister is doing better! Asthma and colds definitely do not mix well, and certain strains are way worse. My best friend growing up had severe asthma and almost every winter she would get a cold that would land her in the hospital. There were years it was more then once. I was terrified for her! But, her asthma got much better the older she got. Is your sister young? My thoughts and prayers will definitely be with her!
More hugs for you!!! Hope you are holding up, dear!!

She's 14 and I don't know if she will be able to grow out of it since she has only had asthma for the past couple of years. The hospital trips scare the bejeezus out of me too... Thank you for your thoughts and prayers, it really means a lot. It's been some really hard weeks

You deserve to win! And I'm saying that without seeing the other entries- but this is amazing!!! I keep changing which is my favourite piece of yours because you keep producing such breath-taking work! You can tell you've poured your heart and soul into this and it's amazing! I love the textures of hair and fabric and the cute family pose. The baby in particular is incredible- children are so difficult to draw!

Thank you so much!! You are so encouraging to me! I did put probably the most I have into this one for sure. And, I think I have learned quite a bit, too! So, even if I don't win it will be worth it! XD Thank you!!!
