This is an older piece, my apologies to the folx looking for a really painterly creation. However, since I've been nominated for the artist of the month, I felt obligated to put something up and beg for votes:) Really, the nomination is more than I expected, and that's award enough for me. The competition is very good & any of them are likely more deserving of the honor than myself. Big congratulations to everyone else nominated, your work is fantastic! If you feel obligated to vote and like my work, thank you very much. This is a fantastic community & I always appreciate the input I receive here. Some of you would be surprised to find out how your critiques have influenced work that's printed all over the world:) As always, if you're shy and don't want to post, feel free to PM me. I always read them and respond so often as possible. This is Poser for the figure, Bryce for the big "X", and as usual, tons and tons of photoshop. For you folx that struggle with software, plz remember, it's the end result that matters, not how ya get there. BTW, I'm one of you folx that struggle with software:) thanks for viewing Pouchy
