Description Woody wasn't smiling when I drew this, but it sort of became necessary. Nothing's so bad that a sweet dog nearby can't make it a little better.

I'm pretty proud of how all this color turned out. I don't do a lot of complicated lighting (not that this is exactly complicated, but it is for me), and when I do it right it sure feels good. The wave cup is from an old drawing of mine, and I recycle that pattern a lot.

I have a great dog, a Shar-pei named Oscar. He's a total meatloaf, and he's got these big, sad eyes, but he really smiles when he's happy. He and I have had a weird relationship. I'm not a dog person, but I am, at least, an Oscar person. He knows when I'm sad and he plops down next to me. I feel like he knows he can't do much, but at least he can share in my blues. I bet Slinky's like that. They've been through a lot together, those two.

I love Slinky for this exact reason. He was Woody's best friend throughout the series, and was the only one who always wanted to remain faithful to him (even after the incident in the first movie).

You did a really great job with the lighting, and the expressions hold a lot of emotion in them.

Wow, this is awesome. I love the connection between Woody and Slinky. You get that feeling in Toy Story, but I imagine that this is more like what their relationship is like on a non-crazy-adventure-filled day. Amazing job.

You would not believe the huge smile of joy
I get once I see a new deviation from you ^^
Your art makes me so happy inside Lily, and I
think you should be glad to know that you're
making someone smile with something you do
It's very gratifying to hear that, I'm assuming.

Anyway, about this piece... I've always been an animals person,
all my life I've stood my ground against animal cruelty
(since bullfights are very frequent in my country, unfortunately)
and I've had a bunch of pets in 18 years. I had a golden retrievier some years ago,
but unfortunately it passed away with a twisted stomach. It was one of the saddest days
of my life, since we really grew attached to the poor fella His name was Floyd,
named after my dad's obsession for Pink Floyd x)

Currently, I have a white and brown kitty named Cookie, who is currently laying on my
lap as I type, and she is just the sweetest critter I've ever encountered. We
should have named her Chocolate, because honestly she just melts with sweetness.
This piece you've drawn is very sweet to me, since I love animals. I've always
liked Slinky, and I don't think Woody finds him a pet, more like a good friend, which
is kinda how I like to see my Cookie. She is just a cuddly furball who will stick with me
til we're both old, through good and bad times. And the same happens with Woody and Slink, I'm sure

Woody's face is amazing here, though. There's so much feeling in that gaze, like he is telling us
a million things just with those amazing chocolate eyes. I have no clue why, but when I first
looked at this I thought Woody was feeling sad because of Andy's departure and Slink was
there to comfort him, earning that small smile from the cowboy.
It's lovely what a friend/pet can do for you when you're feeling depressed.

Congratulations on an amazing piece Lily The feelings behind this are simply amazing and pure,
and the colouring and shading is just perfect. Like someone else said, a great reminiscence of
the TS world.
I'm sorry for rambling so much, but your art is just inspiring hun Also I gotta tell you, I
want that cup, it's lovely

lily-fox In reply to patcot2006 [2010-09-10 21:34:55 +0000 UTC]

Hell YES it's gratifying. C: I can't tell you how much I like knowing that people feel good when they see my stuff.

I'm really sorry to hear about Floyd, poor baby... Cookie sounds like a darling. I've got three cats myself, and they're all totally different, but they're all really fond of my dog.

I'm so glad you like this. You know, I felt silly for thinking it, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves Woody's big honey-brown eyes. And I think whatever happens, his friends will always be there to comfort him, even when he wants to sit alone and feel sorry for himself.

You always leave the best comments, you know that?

patcot2006 In reply to lily-fox [2010-09-10 23:32:54 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad you feel loved hun, because your work is deliciously pleasant to look at

Cookie is a sweetie, she won't let me leave the house without a pet on her little head x)
I wish I could have that many animals, but unfortunately I haven't got a big house :/

Why yes you should feel silly for thinking it, I'm pretty sure there are way more people who are fond of those chocolate eyes <3 (have you seen the similarities? The swirl on his hair, the brown and tender eyes... He is definitely a sweet treat )

I feel touched you think such things about my comments, so thank you darling English isn't even my first language, so it's good to hear that.
Good job anywho

I love the coloring- it's very natural and reminiscent of the Toy Story world. And the pose itself conveys everything we need to know.

My brother's girlfriend has a Shar-pei named Essie (short for Esmeralda), and though I'm a cat person more than a dog person, whenever I see her she just gives me this big-eyed, wrinkly smile and I become an Essie lover over and over again.

So I totally agree. Slink is exactly like our Essie and Oscar counterparts. Oh Slink.

lily-fox In reply to ame- [2010-09-10 21:28:50 +0000 UTC]

Ha! Essie's wrinkly smile... Oscar's that way, too. His favorite person in the world is my mom, and when she comes over, he'll wag his whole body and just WAIL with joy.
