first time being first
no this is not a photo manipulation and yes those are lame painter preset brushes but my other potential image was severely offensive in every way

Strange topics lead to stranger posts. I look forward to seeing some weird stuff.

I don't have time to do one today, but here's a graphite/watercolor that I did about four years ago for a children's story. Figured it fit the descripion "strange events in the garden" :D

DV8 - Sweet thumbnail and nice composition.

artistanbul - The first one is really nice... very cool style.

Mr Man - yep... you're gonna have to help me here. A birds eye?

JSlayer - Good idea. Cute gnomes.

jasonka - Like the way you have depicted the sun.

Oregano - Love the slugs texture and colour.

[Shelldragon]

of course gumdrop! food coloring! that's it! exactly... heh

[Matt Smith]

I have a new idea for a dsg topic with all the talk of naughty things, we should have a topic called shock value. Everyone has to do the most nastiest thing they can think of! I am gonna try to get a piece done later today I hope. See yall later.

Had to rush this one. Very nice colors Gumdrop.

[gallon]

is that the cat also known as Mutti, mr kapturowski?

[Mr Man]

Hehe, I have that problem of not being clear enough.
Its some sorta vortex in the garden, only a quick doodle.
I might do another pic to make up for it.

[Shelldragon]

Oregano - love the slug eating the pansy, that's so cute, also the color is great - is it traditional art? Watercolor right?

[Mr Man]

I hope this ones better.

gumdrop-again i love the brushes you're using in this pic.my only crit is that i'd made the girls butt more soft-means use another brush that isn't so scratchy.
kapturowski-only thing i don't like are the houses and the general background-looks too plain and lifeless.love the cat,she seems really to enjoy herself.:)

[Calle_]

It's quiet.. to quiet.....

I noticed i really need to kick in some forest studies and that starting with white is pretty bad >_<.

good job all!

[Shinbun Kakashi]

What are the brushes you use anyways Gumdrop? Did you make them yourself???

Sheldon I almost fell off my chair laughing at yours!! hehe love it!

Oregano-Nice!! The slug is uh....beautiful....hehe you know what I mean!

I hope that you can figure out what's going on.. just in case my idea was her hand touching the water begins to grow scales (like a koi).

[Sheldon]

Even though the afternoon was growing old, the boy and his tree kept singing their favourite songs.

Velo--love the colours, dark yet expressive

[Shelldragon]

That's so pretty velo! Koi fish are pretty, i love the texture of the background

[shadoman]

Kind of a traditional idea here.

Worked on it for 20 minutes, went to a party for 5 hours, came back and in 10 minutes got this out...

Trevor - That story made me laugh out loud at work today man... great!
Gumdrop - Very nice and serene. I love your textures.

[fbcota]

I thought it would be nice to give the weeds a chance to pull the humans.

Trevor: Your story made my day.

kapturowski: There are so many stories in your image. Is the Cat simply waiting for an opprotune time to devoru the garden gnomes? Are the garden gnomes using the cat as a courier to transfer gnome cortiband to neighboring tree? Great stuff.

artistanbul: I love the heavy style elements of the image.

edit: hurray for jason and colour theory!

[DV8]

JSlayer, Gumdrop and Sheldon:

Thanks for the compliments guys, I wish I had more time for each DSG (for more exploration) but sometimes its tough just getting a quick thumbnail out like this one :). I need to work on my colour more :)

JSlayer- I like the whimiscal quality- alot of people go "dark and edgy" here (myself included sometimes)

Sheldon- I dig the land shark!

Gumdrop- nice colours- feels so "lush". nice contrast

[Gumdrop]

Thank you for your comments. :)

Brushes? Just Painter default's... usually a base of feather oils - built up with palette knives and pens.
