April 1st 2009

It's not a joke, this is actually the first post EVER that I made on DA. I thought I'd give it a try. Usually I don't know what to post at these thingies, but I have something to start with!

Some time ago a few people featured me, so I thought it about time to return the favour. I'll feature up to 10 people here. Since Tihanne, Tamara-Hawk and afke11 already featured me, they'll be the first!

So, without further ado:

Features:

(1)

Candy Zebra - This makes me smile, I love the colours!
Gubbe and Poemes - Afke shares my love for little birds and it shows in her work. Gubbe and Poemes are just an adorable couple of 'kids'
Alcohol prevention posters - A totally different style of work than that we've seen so far from Afke, but I laughed my ass of seeing the second poster. I really like the cut-out style. Makes it look even more laughable XD

(2)

With Tineke's work I took the liberty of being very very biased, since I could choose from work that feature my family in one way or another But, as it happens, I like these works for other non-family-related qualities also

Evil laughter - This one is an oldie, but definately worth mentioning. I love the expression you managed to capture here. The black and white seems to make it even more evil. O_o
Bellypaint - A bellypaint! Need I say more? (I especially like the gull and the tiny fishies...)
Stork - This picture doesn't do this balloon-bird justice (You really should get a new pic Tineke!), but it is awsome! I chose this because it's her own 'invention'. It was HUGE and got a lot of attention!

(3)

Willy and Evita portrait - I really enjoyed seeing these portraits of Willy and Evita. Not only is it very nicely done, but it's a whole new take on these characters, since they're normally drawn in comicstyle (the comic is also worth the visit btw). I especially like the eyes, with that childish innocense and happiness in them...
Dragonfly - I'm a sucker for the little things in life that are beautifull. Nature shows that a lot, but in the haste of everyday life, we tend not to notice. In this sketch Tamara managed to captured the beauty of the dragonfly.
Orchid Willy - Great drawing technique! And I really like the combination: comic and realistic in one. Lovely!

You're welcome to comment here to be featured, but please be kind and feature back. Spread the love! ^^

I'll pick 3 of your deviations and comment on why I chose them. Getting feedback is always nice and who knows, the links may even encourage other people to take a look at your gallery.
