Description April 21, 2008

My ancient watchers may recall this one-- I got a snazzy new mechanical pencil in the mail I had been waiting for a month or two. Then this happened. not overnight, you insane people. D8

There are many things off; from the folding to the value of the tones... though with this in mind, I kept on going at it- just for the sheer excitement of drawing. So this is up, to serve as a bit of a reminder of that moment... the magic it is to hold a pencil and create, and shut the voice that rips apart everything you do.

And... a small reminder of something else. Or more like a mighty tooth-knocking punch about it, haha.



(as to the fate of this character --whose named changed thrice-- the story has changed from it's traditional lore and taken a life of itself. It still remains celtic but ah... once again as I've said a million times-- I will go more in depth at a later, more appropriate time. x ] )

Good gracious, you are amazing. What pencil did you use that you were waiting so long for?

Speaking of Kells, have you seen The Secret of Kells?

It was a .3mm pencil : )

I have, actually. Can't even begin to describe how impossibly happy I was, features with a celtic theme are among the lesser variety. The art is absolutely amazing. : (

Wow, that's teeny

Oh, the same here. It's like a bubbling up inside of sheer joy. It's always so very, very wonderful when people make movies as beautiful as it was.

Very well drawn, I admire such talent you've expressed into this!! Absolutely wonderful texture along with fine toning, the image clear to see with well-shaded outlines. The creativity is great as intended, and I am impressed with this!! Well done, 10/10 of course!!

admitting I'm an outstanded* fan of graphite and celtic arts.

I like it

wretspeare: *outstand(ed)- comes from "outstanding" as to mean; amazing, out-of-the-ordinary, great. So I mean that I'm amazing for being a fan (like a critique, but that's just giving me too much status, and I do too much for so little )
